Fodor's Expert Review Zauo

This Japanese chain's first U.S. location takes the concept of fishing-pole-to-fork quite seriously: you actually sit at tables on a boat-shaped platform (amid exposed brick walls) and fish for your meal in a plus-size tank right in the dining room. After your fish is caught—there's trout, salmon, fluke, flounder, and others—specify how you want it cooked (tempura, grilled, as sushi), and a short time later, that once-swimming fish is on a plate in front of you, ready to be devoured.
