EDITOR’S NOTE: This restaurant is now closed.

Chef Cliff Wharton presides over this buzzing downtown spot, a sister restaurant to Jeff Tunks’s DC Coast, Acadiana and Ceiba. The Asian menu offers classics like red Thai curry shrimp and Korean barbequed pork ribs, along with more exotic dishes like pan-seared ahi tuna burger with wasabi aioli and Chinese-style smoked lobster.
