Sushi Green is under construction in Chandler at 2990 E. Germann Road by Harkins Theatres Chandler Crossroads. The restaurant recently received its liquor license from the state and is finalizing the finishing touches on its buildout of the 3,221 square-foot space.
Sushi Green is a small chain from Colombia that specializes in modern Asian cuisine, serving everything from the Maui Taco (sushi rice, crab salad, and fresh salmon in a “taco shell” made of tempura nori seaweed) to traditional-style sushi rolls, teppanyaki, and wok-prepared dishes.
Customers can also look forward to plenty of delicious cocktails and an amazing Happy Hour deal. More details are to come as the website for this location is currently still in the making.
Sushi Green is owned by María Cardona Lopez and Cesar Mejía Velásquez, who manage seven locations in Colombia. They will open the first U.S. franchise in Arizona in conjunction with local husband-and-wife team Mauricio Lopez and Michelle Medina Lopez. The group will utilize 30 years of experience in the restaurant industry to build Sushi Green’s presence internationally.
As the restaurant’s buildout reaches completion, they are currently hiring a sushi chef, bartender, and other front- and back-of-house positions. Mauricio anticipates an opening in July, if all goes according to plan.
Until then, you can check out @sushigreenus on Instagram for more details and updates.
