THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Kabocha Restaurant Review:

Shin Thompson's "Japanese brasserie," a follow-up to shuttered Bonsoirée, relies heavily on seafood, with an aquarium-inspired answer to the seafood tower, the glass-encased beauty mounded with oysters, cold lobster, king crab legs, scallop sashimi and shrimp atop river stones and anointed with seaweed. A go-to at its predecessor, motoyaki --- singed scallops and king crab bathed in creamy ponzu aïoli --- reappears to the joy of diners. Juicy duck confit pot stickers are every bit as good, though they’re possibly outdone by fried, whole yellowtail with a slick of chile-spiked black bean sauce. Desserts and cocktails, though not a highlight, get the job done.
