Ok, first off, the new tiki place was the "fish market" I do believe, shanghai reds is a great place to eat with amazing service, but the decore could "gag a maggot!".It looks like the owner of the cocos or marie calenders chain got the bid to decorate.Lots of green and maroon plus cheezy brass fixtures!(swap meet crapola).I also disagree that O.A. is the source for(most of) the tiki stuff in the new club.It looks like they shopped at" benson imports" for most ALL that stuff(except the big tikis).The used /cool tikis I would have to assume were in fact rescued from that previously mentioned bar/club.By the way, "ports-o-call restaurant" still lives in pedro and still has a cool hawaiian/oceanic vibe with the kick-ass brunch.Ignore the bellows of "it's run down" from the ignorant,the place just shifted with the area to a latin vibe.Politiki and I went and dug the food and were amused at the changing of the guard at the "asian fish market", which was all latin,despite the original asian decore(there were lots of pinatas!).
