Housed in an historic, single-family home, Tu is the latest creation from Xiao Bao Biscuit’s chef Joshua Walker, his wife, Duolan Li and partner/beverage director Joey Ryan. Divided into three sections, the restaurant’s a la carte menu offers sharable raw foods; vegetable-focused dishes and protein-focused meats. Highlights include crudo with guava, cheese ice and habanero; and lamb with freekeh, harissa, pine nuts and labneh. On Saturday nights Tu serves an exclusive rotating late-night menu, which features comfort foods such as pastrami milk bread sandwiches, fries with lobster mayo and hazelnut milkshakes.
