Mikami – Japanese
Mikami hums with the energy of a modern Japanese izakaya, where the sizzle of the fryer and the aroma of savory glazes invite diners into a vibrant, communal space. The kitchen masters the art of the crunch, serving up golden-hued soft-shell crab and crackling chicken karaage alongside pillowy chashu bao and delicate, vinegar-kissed nagaimo. Each small plate is a celebration of texture and bold umami flavors, creating a spirited dining destination where traditional techniques meet contemporary flair.
