About

This Japanese American bistro transports guests to a modern articulation of a traditional Japanese home through large architectural movements expressed through the repetition of rectilinear forms, decorative screen work, and the use of dark, heavy woods.

Inspired by a 1950s Japanese supper club run by “Madam Geisha,” the design takes on a maximalist sensibility with a variety of patterns and textures throughout the space including era-inspired fixtures and furnishings, luxurious velvets, floral fabrics, traditional geisha patterns, textiles, and accessories that all come together embracing a space that is decidedly dense and rich. The restaurant features an expansive dining room and lush outdoor patio with an open hearth and bespoke cocktail bar.

From lighting to food

Harnessing the element of fire, from ember-like ambient ceiling fixtures and sconces to a blazing neon snake, the intentional use of lighting reflects the restaurant's central fire-roasting theme.

Open Gallery

The open-flame kitchen and its mouth-watering dishes.

A Modern Pagoda

Pulling from a modern interpretation of classic pagoda forms, the structural canopy is replicated from the entry to the main dining room to the outdoor patio engulfing guests to create an intimate feeling in an otherwise expansive environment.

The traditional beam and lintel architecture boasts a coffered ceiling made of dark natural woods with warm clerestories. Layered, repetitive lantern lighting creates the ambiance of a vintage casino floor.
