Last October we let you know that Kusshi Sushi 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. Permanent signage is now up and the restaurant is still aiming for an early July opening.
Sushi Damo, one of the first tenants of Rockville Town Square, closed permanently on October 1st. A few weeks later, Kusshi Sushi signed on to take the vacated spot and began renovations almost immediately. Most renovations are complete and the restaurant is preparing for final inspections.
This will be the second Kusshi Sushi opening in Montgomery County this year, as Hanaro (located at 7820 Norfolk Ave in Bethesda) recently rebranded to Kusshi. 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 until the official rebranding to Kusshi Bethesda.
Kusshi Sushi has additional MoCo locations in Pike & Rose (its flagship location) and Downtown Silver Spring. It has additional DMV locations in Arlington Pentagon Row, Tysons Pike 7 Plaza in Northern VA, and DC Glover Park.
