Kuu Jū is a Japanese expression that refers to the connection between space, emptiness and an opportunity for limitless creativity.

Embark on a personalized Japanese culinary journey and experience the artistry cuisine of chef Hirokazu Sato in the omakase style – a form of Japanese dining in which guests “leave it up” to the Chef to provide a tailored menu based on seasonality and available ingredients at their finest.

About the restaurant

Welcome to Ruth's Chris Steak House. Look around. Have a seat. If this is your first visit, prepare to taste the greatest steak you've ever eaten. As founder Ruth Fertel used to say, "If you've ever had a filet this good, welcome back." We take steak seriously, but we're also serious about making sure you have a good time. So you won't find the stodgy, uptight attitude you might find at other steak houses. Feel free to laugh out loud. Stay a while. Experience the sizzle. Above all, enjoy yourself.
