The former Java Grill space in Old Town could be turned into a sushi restaurant.
A new permit filed to the City of Alexandria requests a change of ownership of 611 King Street from Java Grill — which closed in 2021.
The new restaurant is an Old Town location for Akeno Sushi Bar and Thai, which also has a Lincolnia location at 6650 Little River Turnpike and a location in D.C.’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.
The menu for the other locations features a mix of bento box meals, noodle dishes, sushi (obviously) and more.
The restaurant proposal would have approximately 118 seats and be open from 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
The interior of the restaurant will also be redecorated with “traditional Japanese decor with a contemporary flare.”
