These bowls have nothing in common — except for the fact that they’re all delicious. Check out the following:

Next-level TKG
From its menus (which change seasonally) to its cozy restaurant interior, Izakaya Uosan (1221 Kapiolani Blvd.) is reminiscent of eating at izakayas in Japan.
Whether you’re craving sashimi, sushi or fried dishes, there’s something for everyone.
Feast on a roll topped with uni, ikura, kani and negitori ($42), creamy crab croquettes ($9.50), otoro and foie gras sushi ($13.50), and uni and truffle butter with egg yolk rice ($24). The latter takes the traditional TKG dish to the next level with extra umami flavor.
