SCENE: This pan-Asian boîte is the second venture from Sustainable Restaurants (the same team that brought Mamacita to the Marina) and features a low-lit bar stocked with sakes and rock gardens lining the upstairs dining room.

EATS: The menu takes a something-for-everyone approach: Start with the untraditional galangal duck okonomiyaki, or try the addictive wok-tossed spare ribs from the list of grilled items. As for mains, miso glazed black cod comes in a flavorful green tea broth,
while Niman Ranch barbecue pork stars in a Korean hotpot.
