Admittedly, I am not much of a foodie, but I know what I like, and when I've had a good experience. Danji checks both boxes handily.

First, the food tastes good. It's creative, it's flavourful, and filling. We had the $55 tasting menu and we left satisfied. Not only that, but they were willing to accommodate my red meat aversion, substituting with two vegetarian dishes that delivered. I was not expecting them to do that, but they made no fuss at all. The sable fish, tofu squares, and chicken wings were particularly awesome. I would have been thrilled with just those, but there were four other excellent courses.

In addition to great food, the service was excellent. Our bartender/server, Bobby, was not only above and beyond with his service, but downright pleasant and entertaining. He enhanced what was already an enjoyable experience, and basically assured that the next time with visit the City, we'll be coming to Danji.

You probably won't find this place in many guides, but do yourself a favor if you're milling about the theater district, and check it out. You will not leave disappointed.
