What makes for an extraordinary dining experience?

Chef Bruce Ricketts () and Jae Pickrell’s () Iai is the talk of the town for a good reason: it doesn’t just serve memorable food, it shows the chef’s love and obsession for the fine art of preparing sushi as well. Every detail in the restaurant has a story behind it: from the sushi rice to the chopsticks and even the details on the walls, and all are meant to put the chef’s food front and center. The creativity and care Chef Bruce puts into every bite is sublime and it’s something that you have to experience yourself to fully appreciate.

Read more about Iai and .inreallife’s experience with the omakase on MEGA’s December 2024 -January 2025 issue.
