Hanaro Sushi, located at 7820 Norfolk Ave in Bethesda, is currently undergoing renovations that will result in a change to the owners’ other concept, Kusshi Sushi. The restaurant began renovating earlier this year, remaining open for carryout and delivery only, but will have a new look and name when it reopens. Hanaro owner Wesley Yao took over the restaurant, which has been open since 2008, back in late 2016. The restaurant has continued to operate as Hanaro ever since.
Kusshi Sushi also officially signed on to take over the space that was home to popular sushi restaurant Sushi Damo at 36G Maryland Ave in Rockville Town Square for over 15 years. Sushi Damo, one of the first tenants of Rockville Town Square, closed permanently on October 1st.
Kusshi Sushi, which has additional MoCo locations in Pike & Rose and Downtown Silver Spring (along with an Arlington Pentagon Row and Tysons Pike 7 Plaza in Northern VA), will be renovating the Sushi Damo space and has already submitted drawings to the landlord for approval. They hope to begin construction of that restaurant in early 2024 and open in the spring of 2024. Featured photo courtesy of Google Maps.
