Streetlevel: Japanese Restaurant for Smith Street

kiku-1108.jpg
Earlier this year, 170 Smith Street was falling down, literally. The building's facade was crumbling to the sidewalk below. Well, there's still plywood covering the building, but behind it, a new outpost of Kiku will open, a relative, we think, of those on 7th and 5th Avenues in the Slope. GMAP

Isn't there something just like this on Smith, just below Pacific? Some sort of Japanese fusion, I thought. There's too many of these types of places around Smith (esp since I don't like that sorta food).

AWESOME!!(sarcasm) Another Asian influenced restaurant for Smith Street. I like to see the store fronts fill up, but can't see all this Asian spots on one block making it through this economy...

If this actually was a Japanese restaurant, it WOULD be a great addition to the nabe--unfortunately it's another one of those Chinese places that put "Japanese" on the sign and roll up some bad sushi to rope in the unsuspecting Guailos.
