Wasshoi!
Izakaya Tenkichi (2334 S. King St. Ste. C) is known for its crispy tempura, but the eatery recently launched a seasonal menu with dishes like spicy drunken chicken ($11.90) and inari sushi stuffed with negitoro ($7.90).
No dining experience is complete without the eatery’s wasshoi ikura bowl ($45 regular, $59 large). Both sizes feature an exciting tableside presentation, but the large is ideal for sharing among a group.

Biggest naan ever
Cafe Maharani (2509 S. King St.) offers a blend of Northern and Southern Indian dishes using local ingredients and traditional spices. Its menu features bestselling dishes like tandoori assorted mixed grill ($34.99), chicken tikka masala ($22.99) and lamb saag ($23.99).
Breads are baked in the eatery’s tandoori oven, resulting in a chewy, soft interior and charred exterior. The 30-inch original naan ($19.99) is perfect for sharing with a group.
