The lowdown
Before settling in Soho back in 1981, Omen opened its first location in Kyoto, Japan, where the restaurant’s chefs perfected country-style cooking before coming stateside. The restaurant’s flagship dish is the eponymous Omen, a bowl of handmade udon noodles served hot or cold in a umami-heavy broth. Eaten alongside the restaurant’s spicy tuna tartare and filet mignon with hijiki seaweed, you’ll realize there’s much more to Japanese cuisine than sushi and ramen.
