Fortu

Japanese-inspired small plates and sushi. Gyoza was the standout for us. Feels more hyped than it is.

The review

Our take

We tried the fried rice, gyoza, and kampachi. The gyoza stood out as a favorite, but overall, the dishes didn't quite match the hype we've seen online. It's a place that seems to benefit from social media buzz more than anything else. The restaurant is open for dinner only and reservations are a good idea. The ambiance is okay, but it’s pretty loud. If you're curious about the Michelin nod, go for the gyoza, but manage your expectations.

What stood out

The gyoza was the standout dish for us.
