A new restaurant serving Japanese cuisine will open its doors for the first time this week in Owens Cross Roads.

Yoshi Sushi Fusion, a 3,200-square-foot eatery owned by Irwanto Fnu, Jackie Lee and Yuansheng Huong, will host a grand opening at 11 a.m. Friday on 3110 Mountain Cove Circle, Suite D, in the shopping center with Bedzzz Express, PetSense and Victoria Nails.

The event will begin with a ribbon cutting ceremony, followed by live entertainment until 1:30 p.m. from the Tea Time Music Group. Customers who visit the restaurant through Sept. 22 will receive 20 percent off their orders.

"We have been waiting quite a long time, and it's under our impression that our future patrons are as excited as us," Yoshi Sushi Fusion said in a statement to AL.com. "Everything is coming together at a rapid pace for our Sept. 16 opening. We cant wait to share what we have all worked very hard for with the community."

A spokesperson said Yoshi Sushi Fusion has a 100-customer maximum occupancy and is actively seeking experienced servers and bartenders. Applicants can drop off their resume at the restaurant from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Randy Taylor, broker and realtor for the development at U.S. 431 and Sutton Road, said they are now leasing the second 9,000-square-foot phase of the project. Proposed tenants include Marco's Pizza and Earfinity.

"We are again seeking retailers and want to ask residents of Hampton Cove what they wish for this site," he said.
