Chef Yoo Sung-yup’s culinary mastery and dedication to washoku, or traditional Japanese cuisine, shine through at Sanro. The entrance greets diners with a hanging scroll that reads “三露,” the name of this spot that expresses the Japanese practice of sprinkling the entrance with water three times after welcoming customers into an establishment. The nuanced and chic objets d’art adorning every corner are in sync with the vibes and sensibilities the chef seeks to convey through his menu and dining space. When refreshing seasonal ingredients meet his ardor for culinary art and sophisticated skills, what’s born is a smorgasbord of subtle flavors that invariably soothes the palate throughout the meal. To top it off, the service here is as impeccable as the clean and refined flavors of the chef’s washoku cuisine.
