Actually, the place looks fine in person — Williamsburg isn’t exactly full of awesome architecture. It’s a bunch of shitty old buildings and empty lots. A blank canvas for cool, and this makes the grade.
12:01 – HIDEOUS CHIC! you rock.
Just a memo.
Traditional Japanese architecture is graceful, balanced and exquisitely crafted.
This is graceless, ugly, and slapdash.
It is hideous of course, but it is perfectly in synch with things in Williamsburg at the moment. Hideous chic, or whatever.
dad burn it, maw, where’s the chickens? did that dang buzzard wilbur steal ’em again? i already dun tol him it ain’t his’n to take. and what happened to my old tires, and mah rusty bob war? ama have a conniption fit if’n he took mah possum – dadburnALL, that icehole went an took him. NOW whar we going git sump’n teet?
It looks unfinished at best, and more like a frontier prison.
Do they give lap dances with the call button?
There is definitely a need for a transition from the wood to the concrete and should be extended further up…especially since it’s a 2-floor establishment.
The food is great and I loved how private it is yet at the same time you had the feeling that there was a buzz of other parties really enjoying thier food/exerience.
the first thing i thought of was vandalism when i saw the picture. what a shame that it’s all but guaranteed that they’ll be tagged again. in my opinion, horizontal slats of wood might be a better aesthetic choice. it also needs something where it meets the concrete, at least that’s what it looks like from this photo. i may change my mind when i see it up close.
the restaurant is actually overpriced, even for williamsburg standards, and i would expect for the delicate nature of the food and the price tag, that i would actually be sitting in a self-contained, shoji-screened private room. external design is pretty cool.
