Hanaro Sushi, located at 7820 Norfolk Ave in Bethesda, has rebranded to Kusshi Bethesda and is currently in a soft opening phase with a special offer to customers to celebrate (seen below).
The restaurant began renovating last year, remaining open for carryout and delivery only, but now has a new name and look. 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 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 open in Rockville later this year.
Kusshi Bethesda has a soft opening offer, for those who show the post below, of 25% off on dine-in orders until March 14th.
