Ajisai Sushi & Steak, with Hibachi tables using a downdraft system allow these front-of-house cooktops to host groups seated around a chef so the focus is on enjoying sizzling food in an extraordinary space.
ABOUT
The exhaust systems for the tables run below grade and vent through the roof, invisibly hidden in thick walls, allowing for clear sightlines of patrons with each other and of the custom handcrafted surroundings. A true feast for the senses.
“I have had the pleasure of working with Shea Gilligan for several years on both design and permitting projects. Shea has consistently demonstrated professionalism, attention to detail, and excellent communication throughout every phase of our collaboration.

Bulldog Mechanical & Remodeling Inc.
Our two most recent projects, Ajisai Sushi & Steak Hibachi Restaurant and Hiyaku Buffet, required coordination between clients, engineers, and tradespeople. Shea approached each with remarkable responsiveness and a proactive mindset, ensuring the process ran smoothly and efficiently. I would highly recommend Shea Gilligan and her firm to anyone seeking a reliable and skilled partner in design and permitting.
