Editorial Review

Knock off of Paris's famous Buddha Bar. The size is there (it's a former movie theater), as is the fusion cuisine and the giant Buddha laughing at the all-looks crowd. Kind of place that has or could have its own chill-out compilation. Strong on the fruits of the sea: sushi, salmon and udon, red snapper in peanut sauce. Upstairs caters to younger drinking crowd. Sexy hostesses are worth getting to know better.
