625 Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, 954-870-7090, RedDoorAsianBistro.com
A duo of Long Island restaurateurs have brought Pan Asian cuisine with hibachi flair to the former Johnny V.
“We cut our teeth in New York — in the Hamptons specifically — where people are used to nothing but the absolute best,” says Tony Asta, co-owner with chef Tony Liu, a Chinese native who trained in Japan. “We bring this same tenacity to Red Door, which includes making everything from scratch.”
Signatures include the tempura-fried Florida Sunshine roll with salmon and eel ($18), spicy tuna pizza on roti ($18) and hibachi-cooked shrimp and scallops ($30). Chinese dishes, such as Peking duck (half, $32; whole, $58), originate from Liu’s family.
“Most hibachi stations have hoods over the grill,” says Asta, who also owns Fusion Lounge in Sunny Isles Beach. “We have installed modern grills that have a ventilation system built directly into the grilling surface. Therefore, there won’t be the smokiness.”
Red and gold colors contrast black in the restaurant’s L-shaped layout.
“We had most of the décor flown in from Asia, including the wooden sculpted Buddha faces behind the bar and a 10-foot-high, 1000-hand Buddha statue from China,” Asta says.
The front patio offers a view of the action on Las Olas. Dinner is served nightly, plus weekday lunch.
