New sushi alert! Neighbor Eric Marcus, who runs a really informative weekly Chelsea newsletter (that you can subscribe to by emailing eric@ericmarcus.com), reports that a new sushi bar called Kado Chelsea is coming to 21st & 8th Avenue. Thanks also to neighbor Juan for the tip and picture here. The owner of the new sushi spot is James Kwon, who also owns Village Square Pizza, which has five locations around the city.
We’ve laid eyes on an early menu which has sushi staples like toro, arctic char, and hotate, along with an “Ultimate Luxe” roll (with toro, wagyu, uni, and foie gras) and then an “Ocean Kiss” roll (with scallop, botan ebi, and uni). It all looks very reasonably priced too. Super excited to have this opening up on 8th Avenue; welcome to the neighborhood, James.
