Asian Mishmash

With an interior that is sleek, dark and sexy, Meta, a modern Asian restaurant, is the fresh-faced new player to join the fray of casual fine dining establishments. The soft spoken South Korean head chef, Sun Kim, injects Japanese elements—gleaned from his time at Singapore’s Waku Ghin and Sydney’s Tetsuya—into the five- ($88) to eight-course ($128) tasting menus that include dishes like the Amaebi with Yuzu and Apples. Naturally, kimchi makes an appearance as well in the Wagyu Tartare with Egg Jelly and Korean Pear Kimchi to provide just the right amount of tartness.
