This comes on the heels of Yoyogi, a very popular sushi restaurant in the Kentlands, announcing the opening of a second location in the development (word is the original location will become carry-out only after the new location opens).

The restaurant will be owned by longtime Raku chef, Ken Ballogdajan, and his sister, Aki Ballogdajan. According to the article, the siblings grew up on their parents sushi restaurant Kioko, which had locations in Cleveland Park and Frederick.


It’s the type of move you don’t really see much, but they’ll be opening a second location about a hundred yards from their current location (across the street in a location behind the stone chairs on the lawn, as seen in the video below).

I’m told the original location won’t be closing and that we should expect the second location to open in the “next few months.”
