Jess Leung: Think of it as Japanese tapas--best shared and enjoyed. There are so many great options to choose from but the must-have is always the Tsukune (Grilled Ground Chicken).
David Pessah: Everything. But particularly the Salmon Roe Rice Bowl, Tempura Chicken, and Pork Belly
Serious Eats: Come here for excellent Japanese cuisine, great desserts (try the Matcha Tiramisu!), and a sizable sake menu.

Mike Molino: The grilled chicken salad is very good, fresh, and healthy. Very generous amount of chicken. Falafel is good too.
Angela Szu: Go to Akdeniz. Split the prix fixe dinner with a friend. Leave stuffed.
Serious Eats: Great Turkish cuisine, especially the rich, warming stews and solid vegetarian options.
