Kemuri Japanese Barú in Redwood City is a must-try gem for Bay Area residents. The menu is a fusion masterpiece, blending Japanese flavors with Spanish and American classics. The industrial-chic design vibes create a unique dining experience. The food is amazing, with options like shitaki tempura, wagyu dishes, sashimi skewers, oxtail soups, oxtail ramen, tempura, smoked salmon poke, karaage, and green salad. The sake is top-notch, and the staff is knowledgeable and attentive. The restaurant offers a good selection of wine, sake, beer, cocktails, and Japanese whiskey. While dining here can be expensive, the quality and taste make it worth it.
The restaurant is known for its signature smoked dishes, and the smoked sashimi is a staple for many customers. The menu also offers vegan and vegetarian options, though more explicit instructions on modifiable items would be appreciated. Customers have been impressed by the anchovy garlic edamame, delicious skewers, and the flavorful and texturally amazing unagi paella. The yaki oni benedict is another popular item, and the grilled veggies are seasoned well. The wagyu garlic rice and tender wagyu steak have also received high praise.
