Mako
Japanese
A single plaque by the door is all that marks this 22-seat omakase counter on West Lake Street, so walk slowly. Chef B.K. Park's room is hushed and focused once you're in, the surrounding traffic completely forgotten. The kitchen moves through nigiri with quiet precision, finishing courses with things like chawanmushi rich with mushroom and crab. Dessert pulls its weight too. Mako holds a Michelin star, and the room earns every quiet minute of the reservation hunt.
