A slick décor and lively house music make this trendy spot a must-try for Japanese fine dining. From colorful sushi rolls and rock shrimp to flash-fried Sawagani crabs and A-5 Wagyu beef, the inventive takes on classic Far East delicacies are plentiful. The menu also boasts a sizable sake collection, so be sure to order a bottle or two for the table.

Exposed brick, modern white chandeliers, and wooden communal tables contribute to the inviting atmosphere at this one-of-a-kind coffee shop in Mt. Vernon. In addition to a lengthy list of coffees and teas, the menu offers Korean-inspired bistro fare such as pan-fried dumplings, steamed pork buns, and build-your-own bowls with add-ins ranging from miso salmon to barbecue steak.

Meat and more meat (think tripe, tongue, pork belly) is the main event at this authentic Korean barbecue joint that’s open whenever your inner carnivore calls. This is dinner theatre at its best (offering the steak and the sizzle), as most dishes are prepared in front of you on an open hibachi table. Spicy sides and pickled vegetables round out the show.

Lake Kittamaqundi might sound like a body of water in Maine where you send your kids to summer camp, but it’s actually where you’ll find Columbia’s best-kept-secret shrine to sushi. Come here with close friends for tight tables covered in bottles of Sapporo and sake, satisfying appetizers like gyoza, as well as ornate platters (or boats, if you’re so inclined) of impeccable sashimi and sushi that put all other area menus to shame. We delighted in fat cuts of soft bluefin toro over pillowy sashimi rice, as well as flavorful filets of tuna and sesame-crusted seared salmon in the unassuming Sono #14. Next time, we plan to go bold with jellyfish salad.
