Kemuri Tatsu-ya
When it seemed like Ramen Tatsu-ya couldn’t possibly impress Japanese food lovers more, they launched a buzzing drinks & small-plates concept to enthusiastic reception. In this eclectic crossover between a Texas roadhouse and an izakaya, they serve up smoke-kissed dishes designed to pair with sakés, cocktails, and cold beer. There’s something for all adventure levels, from the BBQ Boat to the downright funky shiokara and stingray fin.
