My sister-in-law took us to a hidden gem called Class on 38th for a dinner of delightfully delectable Japanese-inspired tapas:

Crudo: Hokkaido scallops, Japanese uni, fresh and pickled chili, and shiso aguachile

Tataki: Bluefin tuna akami zuke, white truffle soy, shiso avocado, and truffle

Tomato Ohitashi: Japanese dashi pickled vine tomato, sweet savoury sesame, shallot, and shiso

Daily Special: Spicy bluefin tuna on Hokkaido milk toast with spiced mayo and jalapeño

Karaage: Crispy battered monkfish, mentaiko spiced mayo, shichimi, and matcha salt

Miso Grilled Cabbage: Twice-cooked Savoy cabbage wedge, red miso leek soubise, chili crisps, and chives

Salmon Ikura Kamameshi: Japanese Koshihikari rice with roasted Scottish salmon, ikura, mushroom, myoga, and shiso







Okay, yes, the portions are definitely on the smaller size for the prices, but everything we had was amazingly delicious, incredibly executed, and impeccably presented. Not really sure why they don't have more of a presence from street view — they have a plain black awning with only their logo displayed on the window so you don't even know it's a restaurant — but it is totally worth seeking out.
