The second location of J Kogi at 304 N. Robinson St. is now open. The restaurant owned Friday at noon.

Richmond restaurant owner Jay Ko announced the second location of his popular Jackson Ward the day after Boka Tako Bar abruptly closed in the space.

Ko bought the building and did a quick turnaround on the space while retaining more of the staff.

"I think it was time [to open a second location]," Ko told the Richmond Times-Dispatch in November.

Ko, along with business partner Michael Ng, opened the first J Kogi at 327 N. 2nd St. in 2014. In 2017, Ko opened the sushi restaurant, Fighting Fish at 317 N. 2nd St.

J Kogi specializes in Korean street food with items such as Kimbap (Korean sushi rolls, $6 - $8), Korean BBQ style bowls ($8 - $9) and and Korean chicken ($6.50 - $12).

With the Fan spot, Ko said they'll "focus on upping our service game and our bar program."

J Kogi in the Fan is open Sunday through Wednesday, noon to midnight and Thursday through Saturday noon to 2 a.m.
