Reservations · Delivery · Takeout · Outdoor seating
Stylish Asian-fusion hotspot with lively vibes, photogenic plates, good flavors, and occasional service slowdowns; go for rolls, cooked dishes, and pho over purist nigiri.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
1987 Xigon delivers solid neighborhood dining through strong food quality and exceptional design appeal that create a lively, celebratory atmosphere. However, variable sushi freshness and service inconsistency during peak times prevent grade A-level reliability. The fusion-forward menu excels with cooked dishes and creative rolls, making it worth visiting for the right dishes and timing, though not yet a destination establishment.
Restaurant Summary
A sleek, central spot where fusion plates glide out with smoke curls and sparklers, 1987 Xigon feels lively and stylish rather than hushed and formal. Service is often warm, though when the room is packed a server can be hard to flag. As one diner put it, the room buzzes and the food arrives looking beautifully staged. The cooking leans pan-Asian comfort with a modern sheen—think pho with tender beef, crispy duck over noodles, oysters dressed to impress, and rolls that outshine purist nigiri. It is fusion-forward: better to chase creative rolls and cooked dishes than traditional sashimi flights. Prices read premium for the neighborhood, but portions and plating help the value feel reasonable when execution is on point. Families do fine here if the kids like noodles, fried items, or mild curries. There is no explicit kids menu mentioned, but pho, tempura-style rolls, and simple sides can suit less adventurous eaters. Noise runs high at peak times, so early bookings are more kid-friendly.
