"Itamae is a modern space tucked inside a courtyard of a popular shopping district. There are six seats at the indoor counter, and the rest of the seating is outdoors on the patio. The restaurant is a beautiful showcase of Nikkei-inspired flavors, presented in artful fashion that almost make it too beautiful to eat. Almost. Because the flavors are so special and bright, with different notes hitting the palate with each new bite. The food at Itamae is exciting and vibrant, with seafood being a constant main character in the ever-changing menu." - Nila Do Simon, Jennifer M. Wood
