"If you want to celebrate a special-occasion at a place where you don’t have to whisper or worry about sullying a pristine tablecloth, head to Jua. From the chef behind Moono and the group who brought you Ariari, Atoboy, and Her Name Is Han, this restaurant serves a seven-course, $140 prix fixe in a space with brick walls and scuffed concrete floors. Your meal will begin with a perfect bite of caviar and steak tartare wrapped in seaweed, then you might get some spot prawns served two ways, a smoky bowl of jook, or dry-aged duck with a modernist array of banchan." - bryan kim, hannah albertine
