Good Fortune Co. · South Main
Good Fortune Co. gives South Main a contemporary Japanese dining room centered on noodles, dumplings, and carefully built small plates. Start with dumplings or a shared snack, then choose a broth and add another plate if the table wants to compare the restaurant's broader range.
Sekisui Midtown
Sekisui Midtown has served Belvedere Boulevard through a broad menu of sushi, tempura, noodles, and cooked Japanese dishes. Sit near the bar when possible, ask what fish looks appealing, and build the meal from a few smaller orders. Cooked plates make the room useful for companions who do not want raw fish.
