Description
Created by the team behind Kajitsu, Jō is a departure from NYC's raw-heavy omakase counters, focusing instead on more cooked dishes and fewer raw ingredients. Head chef Abe and his small three-person team serve a seasonal menu that feels thoughtful rather than flashy, balanced and presented on lacquerware alongside fine tableware. The calm atmosphere matches the quiet, efficient pace of the kitchen.
