Niwa Japanese BBQ

For those who want to venture beyond sushi, behold Niwa, a super-slick yakiniku spot where diners cook up raw, bite-sized pieces of marinated proteins and veggies over grills built right into their tables. Pork belly, chicken, sausage, rib eye and Wagyu–it's all there, as well as cod, calamari and shrimp. You want intestines? Tongue? Beef belly? They've got that too. The drinks list is as impressive as the food (think, Japanese beer, sake, tea and inventive cocktails). Don't feel like cooking? There are also ready-to-eat items, ranging from chicken karaage (crunchy crisp-fried pieces of chicken) to ramen and Hamachi crudo. Desserts are no slouch either. Don't leave without trying the coffee jelly, folks say it's insanely delicious.
