entire place smells like a dirty ashtray. when you first enter this restaurant, you're in the giant bar/smoking area. you have to walk through it to get in and out. nothing except some hanging beads separate the bar and smoking area from the dining room, and just one or two people smoking stinks up the whole place.
while our food looked and tasted great, we couldn't enjoy it due to the constant stench of cigarette smoking that circulated around the entire restaurant, regardless of where you were seated.
this place has great chefs and really good food. presentation and taste were awesome. our server was good but not great. all of that could have been fine with us, but we left as soon as we were done just to get some fresh air.
go here if you are looking for a nightclub-style place that also serves great sushi and food. we'd love to go back, but won't because of the nasty smell in this place.
