Kemuri Tatsu-ya

This third outpost from the team behind Ramen Tatsu-ya has received a slew of national accolades since opening in 2016. Located in the former Live Oak Barbecue spot, the smoke stained walls and rustic setting lend a Texas feel to the Japanese hotspot, where yakitori plates are meant to be shared and accompanied by stiff cocktails. Echoing its surroundings, the menu offers Texan-Japanese fusion fare with items like sticky rice tamale, chili cheese takoyaki, guaca-poke and yuzu pecan pie.
