"Den delivers a near-unmatchable trifecta of ambiance, food, and service thanks to the bold vision of chef and owner Zaiyu Hasegawa, who is renowned for his creative and exuberant approach to Japanese cuisine, emphasizing hyper-seasonal produce. Guests can expect playful yet immaculately executed dishes like Den's signature "Dentucky" fried chicken, served in a miniature KFC bucket, and gorgeous salads accompanied with smiley-shaped carrots. As an added bonus, the restaurant has a loyal mascot, Puchi Jr. (Hasegawa's cherished chihuahua), who is usually on-site to deliver greetings. - F&W Editors" - Laura Itzkowitz
