MoCo winners include the following:
According to a notice on the door of the old location, 328 Main Street, a permit was issued to Yaho Sushi in January of 2019.
We don’t have any information on when the restaurant may be ready to go, but our best guess would be after the summer assuming changes will be made to the existing layout (though that may not be necessary due to the similar nature of the restaurants).
Husband and wife team, Florian and Shannon Radke, opened their first bakery in Berkeley, California in 2010.

Wang Dynasty will open May 1st in the location that was home to Shanghai Village in Bethesda (4929 Bethesda Ave.).
They’ll be located on King Farm Blvd., next to King Farm Cleaners and Tailors, caddy corner to Safeway.
We are speculating that this will be similar to concepts like Downtown Crown Wine & Beer (Gaithersburg), Brew Belly (Olney), and Knowles Station (Kensington)– A craft beer & wine spot you can hang out in, drink some beer/wine, eat some food, and enjoy time with friends.
