I live around the corner from this new restaurant-so I have been observing its remodeling into Kaiten sushi bar /Japanese Asian Restaurant The restaurant opened today at 11am- I was in restaurant at 12:45 and there were 4 patrons-we were all waiting for the rotating sushi bar to start- some minor gliches like not having pickeled ginger and wasabi at counter, etc. The fish was descent-nothing out of the ordinary but definitely worth another visit-The prices were not bad- The owner and manager are Chinese-owner previously ran the Chinese buffet at the same site).
update the new restaurants name East Fountain 201-246-8688 paper menus were on door-with 10% coupon m-th 11am-9:30pm fri and sat. 11am-10:30 sun: noon-9:30 menu includes sushi, soups , salads. entrees, donburi, teriyaki, and tempura
on returning home from work-the restaurant looks almost complete- I also noticed that the Turkish restaurant on Valleybrook Avenue in Lyndhurst has closed and a new Italian restaurant will be opening soon
