Susuru

If the words "pub" and "Japanese" don't jibe with you, they should. Susuru's playful space - a geek-out opportunity for anime nerds, but just as charming for those simply looking for a fun place to get their food and drink on. Ramen and izakaya (Susuru means "slurp" in Japanese and izakaya a type of informal pub) gets top billing on the venue's bright exterior and those noods are definitely worth ordering. In fact, they're complemented by the noshier offerings, from chicken skin skewers to street corn. Instagrammable cocktails and boba drinks, many accented by kewpie babies and itty-bitty kaiju are a delight.
