Editorial Review

Koji Imai's dramatic, bi-level zen-modern fortress. Celebs fend off autographs in cushy booths, mesmerized by the life-size ice Buddha melting into a pool of rose petals. Somewhat confusing menu yields huge flavors in teeny-tiny portions. Try the toro steak in white truffle oil or the Kobe beef cooked in sake—we know we're supposed to rise above our earthly desires, but we can't help ourselves. Not for the faint of heart or wallet.
