Wokuni

A popular Japanese seafood chain is set to open its first U.S. location in Manhattan. In the sleek space outfitted with gray and black tiles and walls of nautical rope, you can order fish flown in daily from Japan, such as tuna-tail steak with teriyaki sauce, salmon or yellowtail marinated in sweet Saikyo miso, grilled cod, sushi rolls and sashimi. In addition to partaking in the casual sit-down service, you will eventually be able to purchase fresh fish and Japanese dinnerware to take home at a separate market counter. Fun fact: The name Wokuni comes from the Japanese word for fish (“wo”) combined with chef Kuniaki Yoshizawa’s first name.
