  • Improvements included updated electrical, new HVAC, roof structure, Japanese styled windows, a new kitchen, and custom Teppanyaki grills for personal chefs to prepare meals in front of clients.

Pacific Rim

  • This building was the Missouri Pacific Train Depot relocated to this site for a steakhouse.  After a few ownership changes, the building remained vacant for a number of years and required extensive interior repairs and renovations.  
  • PLJBD provided ceiling clouds and an Asian themed fountain in the dining area for a more modern feel.  
  • A completely renovated bar and kitchen design were implemented along with a new sushi bar and Teppanyaki grill area.  
  • The original building was 8,939 square feet and we added 128 square feet for a new drive through service.
