Kumoya

It might seem like the gold-flecked, caviar-topped toro tartare (and other similarly extravagant dishes) are the main draw at Kumoya. But really, we find that we can’t stop thinking about the not-as-flashy plate of miso eggplant that’s broiled, topped with little puffed rice spheres, and tastes just as decadent as that gold toro. Pull up a stool at the sushi counter to watch the slicing and dicing, and be sure to come back later to spend some time at the attached Bar Kumo. The late-night menu of udon noodles and katsu curry bowl, not to mention cocktails with mushroom rum, shoyu, and sesame, are worth checking out.
