Conveniently located blocks away from the iconic Crypto.com arena and LA Convention Center. The atmosphere is giving Puerto Rico with the music, but the food is giving Asian. The crack rice was enticing, but I wish you could order it by the piece. Opening a new hotel in the Arlo fam is always a cause for celebration, but even more so when we land in a new city, wall street restaurants and especially when we have a brand-new build to show off.
Reported GF menu options: Salad
NoMad’s just-opened Chikarashi (chirashi + Hawaiian poke) is serving poke with a Michelin-starred touch. Chef Michael Jong Lim, formerly of Masa and Neta, takes an ingredient and flavor profile driven approach, playing with condiments and sauces like ponzu and sansho spicy mayo using fine dining techniques learned in lauded kitchens. Instead of building your own bowl, Chikarashi offers precalibrated menu options based on flavor composition.
Reported GF menu options: Soup
A definite must when in and around Flatiron. Certainly the best poke bowls I’ve found in the city with a wide selection of different options for base, protein and toppings. Servings are very generous and the staff is very friendly. Clean establishment located in lower Manhattan, walking distance from/to the Oculus. They sell fresh poke bowls and cracked rice.
