Stop right there! You’re about to try FUHU, an exploration into Asian cuisine full of unexpected turns. You may not emerge unchanged.
Once in, drinks are called for—the specialty cocktails are mouthwatering. Try the Tiger Tree with ginger, yuzu and Tito’s vodka (or Remy Martin); the Heart of Fire delivers a sweet, spicy pop in your mouth with serrano chili-infused Avion tequila, Dos Hombres joven mezcal, passionfruit, honey and egg white. There’s a strong list of sake to try, too, primarily by the bottle, although you can enjoy some by the glass. If you’d rather grab a beer, there’s Kirin and Sapporo, as well as several domestic craft brews.
Start with a few Tiger Bites to accompany your beverage, like a miso cod “taco” on bibb lettuce, tiger shrimp with garlic mayo, black pepper beef (a signature item, pictured) or the vegan chick’n larb with lemongrass rice powder. You’ll notice several vegan dishes on the menu, so no one will feel left out.
The menu’s inventiveness shines in every section with items like KariKari toro tartare with truffle cruller; salmon sashimi with mango and caviar; and bay scallop ceviche with Bermuda onion, avocado and tomato. Plenty of rolls are available, from a Buttery Snapper with hamachi belly to the vegan Two-Timing Tuna, with roasted pepper, negi tempura, and ponzu-caramelized onion. Duck fried rice, king crab tempura, a tomahawk and vegan basil pork with Impossible meat are excellent options if you’re not up for sushi.
