Bar Kada

While Soseki is known for its intimate stature and serious tasting menu, Bar Kada is its perfect complement. Located in the same building, this space has triple the seats along with a more casual concept (note the disco ball for further proof). Expect the same commitment to quality and the strong creative streak seen at Soseki, only here it’s dressed down to fit the laidback vibe. The Japanese dishes with global influences have plenty of personality and deliver on bold flavors, as in the kinilaw-style, spicy-sweet sashimi or roasted maitake mushrooms in a ponzu beurre blanc. Cocktail and wine offerings are deep, but the sake selection is a real standout, and the knowledgeable bartenders make a seat at the bar especially interesting.
