At Yamada, Chef Isao Yamada serves a seasonal 10-course kaiseki menu at a cozy 12-seat counter, blending Japanese traditions with European flair.
"Opening: May At the 12-seat Yamada in Chinatown, the namesake chef will be serving a 10-course $300 kaiseki menu with a seasonal focus and a few European touches. The Japanese tasting will cycle through various cooking techniques—frying, grilling, steaming, simmering—and end with a tea ceremony. Just a few feet away, you'll find another spot from the same restaurant group, Kono." - bryan kim
