This fall, a modern contemporary Japanese restaurant is set to open within Wilshire Grand Center, Los Angeles’ tallest building. Niku X, a yakiniku concept, will feature a design by Chicago-based architecture firm DWDW that comprises a natural, warm palette inspired by the preparation of dishes on the menu. “We wanted to present Niku X in an intimate and elegant way,” says DWDW managing principal De Shun Wang. “We focused on layering the space. The tall ceiling volume brings a calm light and shadow effect. We composed these artisanal elements with the personalized fine-dining experience that gratifies the senses.”
