Arata highlights the diverse and abundant plant-based ingredients of Asia. Japanese for fresh and new, ARATA offers steamed buns, small plates, noodle bowls, tempura, vegetable sushi and Japanese inspired desserts. ARATA has an innovative cocktail and sake program. On the brunch menu, there are “yakitori,” which really means skewered grilled chicken, but Kenney’s version is made with shiitake and king oyster mushrooms. A yuzu- and cashew-based sauce stands in for hollandaise in another brunch dish.
