Thesleff Group (which already operates Los Mochis, LUNA Omakase, Juno Omakase, and Sale e Pepe) has opened a new Japanese restaurant in Mayfair. Inspired by the idea that every ingredient carries an invisible power, the 156-cover MA/NA celebrates the craft of Japanese food. Executive Chef Leo Tayang’s menu includes dishes like tiger shrimp tempura with wasabi; robata-seared avocado with asparagus, mushrooms and spicy mayo baked in a flaming shell; and M5 Wagyu seared on a Himalayan salt stone with garlic-soy, ponzu and mixed Asian leaves. MA/NA also has a cocktail bar, with resident DJs, that references rare spirits and 1970s Tokyo soul.
