get the txipiron "encebollado": squid ribbons. and then ask the 'tender for her favorites to fill the rest of your palate
Get the akamaru modern if it's your first time -- by far the most popular. Otherwise, the spicy miso ramen at the bottom of the menu. And obviously, you need to the pork buns. Better than momofuku.
The sheep's milk ricotta is probably one of the ten best things I've ever tasted. It has truffle honey and comes with burnt orange toast.
Start with the understated "Bread and butter". Then move on to the spicy sausage + rice cakes are both fantastic. Oysters are a given.
Meaty grilled octopus lathered in olive oil, preserved lemons, fennel, and tossed with fresh feta.
Get the kimchi stew. It is so good they had to take it off the menu. It's blood red from delicious kim chi and filled with slow roasted pork and an abundance of rice cakes. Perfectly spicy, too.

The perfect meal: their special cheese of the day, grilled artichoke with roasted peppers, crabcakes with capers and mushrooms, grilled eggplants stuffed with goat cheese, and truffle mac n' cheese.
The sushi "bombs' are freakishly good versions of sashimi. The Spicy bomb with tuna, spicy mayor, and fried phyllo dough is required eating.
I could eat a pound of the chicken liver mouse on Challah toast, and I don't even like chicken liver. Bonus: the restaurant is huge, comfortable, and great looking.
