    Belga dinner never fails to deliver new taste sensations and artistry. Chef Bart and staff provide memorable experiences. We started with the wild mushroom waffle with mushroom au jus, rich in umami and which was a landscape unto itself. The heirloom tomato and beet salad with whipped goat milk yoghurt was a was a tribute to summer in color and flavor. grilled scallops floated cheerfully on a sea of green pea risotto with a wonderful contrast enhanced further by the smoked onion cream. The Duck Two ay Way was an architectural fantasy with tender duck breast set across from the crispy duck confit and with sweet potatoes and rhubarb the bridge between the two over a pool of beef broth, l'orange sauce, cranberries and nuts. Dessert was a playful sculpture of chocolate mousse eggs resting cozily in a nest of chocolate crumbles, offset tastefully with edible pearls and cacao cream. A feast for the eye and the palate!!!!

    This was our first visit to Kyojin Sushi and we really enjoyed it. The place has an upscale, hip, industrial vibe. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed everything we ordered (with one exception). It's definitely on the pricey side and portions are relatively small. We had three drinks and a couple of bottles of sparkling water and the bill, including tip and tax, was $388 for the three of us. We loved all of the rolls we ordered, with the exception of the veggie roll. We also really liked the "chicken tempura," although it was more like upscale super tasty nuggets than tempura. The house gyoza was tasty, but only came with three pieces. We will definitely return for another visit at a future date.
