Thanks all!
Would love to hear your thoughts if this is doable since I know a lot of places have lines, I am unsure how big the portions will be, and if any of these places are overrated.
For context:
* we both eat a bit more than the average person
* are very open to sharing food (would love to get 1 dish and share if possible)
* eat a ton of Japanese food regularly (so looking to favor unique experiences)
* are very flexible (the times are there for self reference and easily changeable)
