Not Only Fish Restaurant

Velyka Vasylkivska St, 94

Not Only Fish represents a twist of Asian cuisines with a new take on leisure activities. Instead of merely sitting at a table, you will be encouraged to join a warm camaraderie with lively dances. By the way, the NOF menu itself is as electrifying as dancing! After sampling sushi with eel, steamed sea bass fillet, daikon and tataki rolls, you will come to senses urging for one more portion. Gedza with Kobe and Dim Sum with crab and truffle sauce also comes with the warning: “highly addictive.” The collection of beverages is undeniably enticing. It consists of Japanese fruit wines, Nikka whiskey and numerous types of sake. Hence, Not Only Fish is an awesome Japanese joint without feeling like it’s trying too hard.

Bao Restaurant

Mechnykova St, 14/1 

There are a million reasons why this restaurant on Mechnikova Street 14 is like no other typical Chinese one. Firstly, Bao is focused on modern cuisine that sticks to culinary recipes from previous centuries.

Hence, you must try Xiao Long Bao with duck, and Shu Mai with scallops or tuna or Bok Choy leaves. Otherwise, you won’t grasp the grounds of Chinese food aesthetics and, more importantly, adopt a Taoistic mindset. The third Bao’s specialty is the accent of refreshing dishes; green salads with grapefruit or orange dressing and baby octopuses with peppermint leaves.
