Annie Choo, the daughter of Samurai Sushi chef and owner Yun Choo who purchased plant-based dining destination Avo in 2017, confirmed the opening and adds they’re currently hiring a GM in expectation of the August opening. Choo told Eater “Our new concept is going to showcase what we know best, sushi, but also will tie in our Korean roots into our menu. We are excited to share Japanese and Korean cuisine to Nashville.”

Beyond the raw fish options, plenty of cooked rolls are on the menu, including one stuffed with a deep fried oyster and cream cheese.Stay tuned for more Samurai Kitchen menu details, and opening info, as August comes closer.
