1. Sakura Hibachi Grill
This food truck vendor has made its permanent home at 3109 Roosevelt Street, where its crew guarantees a fresh and hot meal using flavorful ingredients. All the hibachi favorites can be found here, including fried rice, teriyaki chicken, and juicy steak with garlic butter. The jumbo shrimp is especially to die for! Sakura even has options for vegetarians, such as noodle dishes featuring crisp veggies and large chunks of grilled tofu.
The portions here are famously large, so chances are good that you’ll have enough left over for another great meal!
2. Bash Original Izakaya
For those unfamiliar with the term “izakaya,” it’s a type of establishment that specializes in serving small dishes with alcoholic drinks. Bash Original Izakaya on 5069 Trumbull is the ideal place to be introduced to this type of dining thanks to its upscale atmosphere, skillfully prepared plates, and, of course, an amazing selection of fine sake and other spirits. Starting plates like kimchi potatoes, spicy tofu bites, and pork gyoza are certain to whet the appetite.
For the main courses, you can’t go wrong with the bulgolgi bowl with super-thin slices of rib eye or broiled BBQ eel that’s topped with seaweed flakes and a rich, sweet eel sauce. The ultimate dining experience at Bash comes in the form of the full-course omakase meal, in which the chef carefully chooses each dish based on the best ingredients available at the time. Always drink responsibly and never drink and drive.
3. Fat Salmon Sushi
No list of Japanese places is complete without a good sushi joint, and Fat Salmon Sushi on 11411 Joseph Campau Avenue is one of the best in the area! Whichever item you order, from the sashimi to any of their special rolls, it’s certain to taste clean and fresh. Along with salmon and tuna, guests will be able to choose yellowfin, mackerel, shrimp, and much more for their nigiri and basic rolls.
As for the more complex rolls, the namesake Fat Salmon roll with red snapper and shrimp on the inside and a thick slice of salmon and fish eggs on the outside is always a hit. There’s also the Black Dragon, a filling roll that features shrimp tempura, crab, and cream cheese.
