PABU Izakaya

Chef Ken Tominaga creates delicious Japanese cuisine in a gorgeous setting in a Financial District high-rise. There’s a full bar and a sushi bar where you can see the chefs create excellent rolls, nigiri, sashimi, and an omakase menu. I try to sit at the bar or one of the booths. I like small bites of yakitori, the uni spoon, and squid okonomiyaki. The Ramen Bar next door, run by the same team, is a far more casual counter-service place for a quick bowl of ramen.
