Dr. Clark

Serving up food from the Hokkaido region of Japan, Dr. Clark’s vibe is, well, vibier than many of the classic Chinatown hotspots. Mood lighting and a cool crowd might give the space a feeling of exclusivity, but the food proves that all are welcome. Their jingisukan, a marinated, sliced lamb cooked on a tabletop grill, is a consistent crowd pleaser, as is their salmon jerky. Once you’ve had your fill, start your vocal warmups: Dr. Clark is a karaoke bar, too, and the people demand to hear your rendition of Rolling in the Deep.
