Rank 1. fumée
Yakitori Japanese
The open kitchen runs loud and hot, with flames climbing high enough to make the modern room feel like an old Tokyo alley. Fumée is a yakitori restaurant inside the Regent Hotel, running two nightly seatings through a set tasting menu with an optional sake pairing. It's the sister spot to an Osaka original, and the sourcing shows in the skewers. Sleek space, serious smoke.

Rank 1. Torien Yakitori
Yakitori Japanese
A dinky Japanese garden leads into a yakitori counter where local chickens, prepped fresh each day, go over the grill with nothing but salt so each cut can argue for itself. The chef spent time honing the craft in Japan, and the set menu moves through cuts most people have never thought to order. Counter seats watch the kitchen the whole time, which is half the point. Call ahead if you want chicken sashimi or squab.
