We let you know back in November that Jongro BBQ, a popular New York Korean BBQ restaurant, is opening up shop at Wheaton Mall. The latest update we have received from Westfield Wheaton is that the restaurant is expected to open in January, 2022.

The restaurant is known for its wide variety of cuts that are not  found in most other Korean restaurants. According to their website, their “beef and pork are produced with only natural feeds.”


Sydney’s Burger located inside of Wheaton Mall has announced it will be holding its grand opening on October 29. The menu features hamburgers, turkey burgers, salmon burgers, wings, breakfast items, and quesadillas.

A representative from the restaurant said the delay in opening has been due to the long wait for equipment to arrive. The location is currently hiring for all positions. Take a look at their menu and the interior of the restaurant below.
