Very Best Restaurants....
with lemongrass, a frequent special, goes down
like velvet, familiar yet with the thrill of
discovery. And even when the soup's not on,
Yin Yankee is well worth the trip.
Shades of red and yellow suffuse the dining
room with warmth, while a fish tank and
a shimmering wall of water cool things.
Sushi offerings start with the usual rolls,
sashimi, and nigiri. Seaweed salad with conch,
baby tako, or ika sansai is a mix of crunch
and briny flavor. More unusual is carpaccio
of tuna and salmon, and creative combos are
invented indeed. Try the crunchy lobster roll
or go exotic with tuna and cashew.
If sushi's not your thing, no problem.
Try whole fish roasted in banana leaves;
tea-smoked duck with scallion pancakes;
the house bouillabaisse, a coconut-infused
tomatoey brew; and, best of all, Crabchop,
a lumpy crusted crabcake on a stick with
wasabi mayo. The drinks list includes boutique
sakes, wine, and a well-put-together beer line-up.
