2. Roka Akor
Contemporary Japanese cuisine with a focus on robata and sushi
Indulge in the exquisite culinary delights at Roka Akor, where every dish bursts with exceptional flavors and is served with unwavering warmth and proficiency. While I regrettably missed out on sampling their sushi selection, the tantalizing aromas and exquisite presentation of other menu offerings left me eager for more. The hearty beef delicacies and the aromatic rice mushroom hotpot stole the show, albeit the Wagyu falling slightly short due to overcooking. Although the sashimi and sushi dishes were decent, they didn't quite leave a lasting impression due to the freshness of the seafood not being at its peak. The service, while satisfactory, could benefit from a touch more finesse to complement the remarkable fare. Experience the culinary journey of a lifetime at Roka Akor, where each bite is a testament to unparalleled passion and culinary expertise.

5. Benihana
Interactive dining experience with skilled chefs cooking on hibachi grills
Benihana is a classic spot for those seeking an entertaining dining experience. Watching the skilled chef prepare a delicious meal is always a joy – no wonder it remains a popular choice after all these years. The food, from the delectable soup to the refreshing lemonade and perfectly cooked vegetables, is a delight. The charismatic chef, like Mario, adds a special touch to the experience, making it truly memorable. Yet, the only downside seems to be the steep prices that accompany this otherwise enjoyable visit.

6. Kippu
Offers vegan and gluten-free options, modern and cozy atmosphere
We decided to try out Kippu and opted for two bento boxes. Unfortunately, the lackluster customer service left much to be desired - the staff appeared disinterested and almost repelled by patrons. Our bento boxes were carelessly dropped, causing sauce to splatter. While the food itself was decent, the swift service seemed to stem from a sense of hastiness that translated into the dining experience feeling rushed. The sushi, including the California roll, tempura roll, and Kippu roll, was indeed flavorsome but came at a slightly steep price considering the portions.
