Really great tacos. Korean is delicious and interesting - kimchi! Shrimp also good. Toasted, flaky tortilla. Great, gooey quesadilla. Best in the neighborhood and cheap.
Recommended by chef Anita Lo (her rec: Kobe sashimi w/ shiso & uni; Korean tripe salad). Start w/ Akiles-Yubiki (Achilles tendon) and Red Red Kimchi, then Horumon-Moriawase (chef's selection). Read more.

Set menu is so much food but you get to try a lot of dishes so worth it! Come hungry. Duck is incredible.
Order one whole duck ahead of time, and then you get to choose small plates, a side dish or veggie fried rice, and a main in different amounts. Any way you do it, it's actually a pretty decent deal. Read more.
The Burger, the Colony (red), and the Emmy (white) are the standards... absolutely delicious. Looking forward to trying everything else

So romantic! Grab a glass of your favorite cocktail and cozy up with someone late at night on a couch by the fire.
One of my faves. Start w/ a dozen oysters and chicken liver royale, move on to the rib-eye for two, don't miss the duck fat potatoes. Finish w/ a nice Scotch. Not for the faint of heart.
