"The brainchild of two Austin superchefs, Franklin Barbecue's Aaron Franklin and Uchi's Tyson Cole, this is an innovative Asian smokehouse on South Lamar that's been insanely popular ever since it opened in 2018. As you'd expect from two such esteemed chefs, the menu is both intriguing and unique. The smoked bavette is a must-order (sliced hanger steak topped with shishito salsa and pickled onions), as is the chicken karaage, a spicy Japanese twist on traditional fried chicken. Intriguingly, you can order many of the main dishes in rice bowl form, which is a nice alternative. Just ensure you leave enough room for dessert, specifically the seraphic smoked chocolate creme brulee, served with salted peanut brittle." - Jonathan Thompson
