Kissa Tanto
Fusion
In a Chinatown walkup outfitted like a 1960s Tokyo jazz café—rose banquettes, soft light, steely walls—chef Joël Watanabe executes Japanese-Italian fusion with the precision of fine dining. Charcoal udon with Dungeness crab, hand-cut tajarin with miso egg, tiramisu inflected with plum wine: each dish suggests a kitchen fluent in both traditions and committed to seasonal restraint.
