Rodan is a restaurant and lounge of simple and modern design. Warm birch woodwork wraps the interior starting at the bar and continuing through large ceiling panels to the deep booths in the rear. The silver foil ceiling, cobalt blue banquette and cement floor produce a natural contrast to the wood. Warm and cool hues, soft and hard surfaces create a sense of balance.

Rodan offers Asian bistro cuisine. Traditional dishes such as Vegetable potstickers and Veggie Maki stand aside less traditional fare like Togarashi Burger, Marinated Hanger Steak with Yuzu Chimichurri Sauce and Pan Seared Chili Fish. Rodan's presentation is simple, its food exotic, delicious, and moderately priced.

Rodan was conceived as a venue for audio and visual artists. Digital images are projected above the entryway, on the rear lounge wall and on the floor near the restrooms. The main screen displays video art and becomes an ambient lighting source. VJs mix images while DJs spin various genres: afro-beat, bossa nova, electronica, indie, hip hop, chill, soul and funk, old school and otherwise. The bathrooms boast video mirrors for primping. Events such as Living Sundays hosted by Moment Sound, Analog Pop, Jazz Night, Revolution Wednesday and Soupline Cinema Sundays create a venue of delights and surprises.

"Rodan! The Flying Monster" is a '50s Japanese sci-fi classic that featured a giant, winged reptile bent on destroying Tokyo. Rodan the restaurant is a warm and inviting '50s modernist video lounge bent on creating a different world.
