Another masterpiece from the same group that brought us Crisp on 28th, Sabao, and Sprout, Pink Panda is a concept diner<\/strong> serving Southeast Asian cuisine with a modern twist. It’s for<\/strong> yuppies looking for a chill after-work hideout. It’s not for<\/strong> big families celebrating a grand occasion. We recommend<\/strong> the Panda Buns, General P’s Chicken, and the Sriracha Mousse. Our insider tip<\/strong> is that parking may be challenging.<\/p>\n

Kai, which means “gathering” in Japanese, specializes in Japanese fusion cuisine<\/strong>. It’s for<\/strong> diners who love their Japanese dishes and wouldn’t mind a unique twist on them.

We recommend<\/strong> the 10 hours Buta Kakuni “Braised Pork Belly”, Wasabi Oysters Tempura with Balsamic Dynamite, and Portobello Mushroom Confit Salad with Maple Ponzu Vinaigrette.
