The newest sushi spot in town is opening Aug. 21.
Kemuri, the latest and greatest from Jerry Barakat, will offer seafood, sushi and smoked meats. The restaurant will be located at 2601 Kavanaugh Blvd, the former home of Rocket 21 and Ferneau.
According to the restaurant’s Facebook page, the spot will open Aug. 21 and will be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4:30-9:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4:30-10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 4:30-9:30 p.m. Sunday.
Barakat, who also owns Ocean’s, told Soirée in July the restaurant’s theme and offerings had been a dream of his for more than 20 years. He promises nothing but the freshest foods at his newest venture.
“i don’t care about the cost, as long as it is fresh and quality food,” he said.
The restaurant will be about 4,800-SF with room for 150 inside and 30 outside, and will serve alcohol.
