Kobeyaki

The fast-casual Japanese restaurant—offering rolls, bowls and buns—has expanded with a second NYC location in midtown. The 1,600-square-foot space—outfitted with blond-wood booths and oversize Japanese-character photography—functions as a quick sushi spot, serving spider rolls, shrimp tempura and udon soup. You can also load up on burgers (kobe beef, chicken teriyaki), sake and beer (Sapporo, Asahi).
