Now open at The Orleans, Ondori Asian Kitchen, the Japanese and Chinese restaurant at the resort the embraces the concept of tomodomo, the art of togetherness.
At the front of the restaurant, find to long, communal tables that divide the space into a sushi bar on one side and the cocktail bar on the other. Guests walk through a wood-paneled rotunda at the entrance and then find the Chinese symbol for luck and good fortune, red, all splashed around the main dining room on accent walls and fringed crimson lanterns hanging from the ceiling. Large parties sit in rounded booths that snake throughout the main dining room, while smaller parties can take over the more intimate secluded booths.
Ondori marks the second of five new dining concepts scheduled to debut at The Orleans in 2016. Parent company Boyd Gaming reports that it plans to spend $30 million at the resort. The changes started with Alder & Birch, the steakhouse that opened last month.
