Chef Hiroshi Kawahito runs this Japanese hand roll specialist on Colima, where the bar seats offer front-row views of the chefs torching, rolling, and plating each piece. Hand rolls anchor the menu — the signature Santo hand roll is what regulars come back for — alongside nigiris like the wagyu with foie gras and anguila, sashimi cuts including otoro, and starters like the Santo tiradito made with kampachi.

The omakase is a solid move if you want to let the kitchen decide, and the cocktail list leans into mezcal and Japanese-inspired drinks like the Watermelon Spritz. Bar seating fills up fast — reserve ahead if you want the show.
