Sushi lovers, rejoice!<\/p>\n

Nearly a year after Sushi Nine was destroyed in a tragic fire and ten months after demolition permits were issued for its burned-out remains, the owners have received the official go-ahead from the City to build anew.<\/p>\n

On December 21, the Ammons Building Corporation received a $210,000 permit for a “New Sushi Nine Building & Parking” which will be built out on the site of the former restaurant at 3812 Western Boulevard.<\/p>\n

The original building was first built in 1985 as a Golden Corral restaurant, and before becoming Sushi Nine was also home to Ten Ten, a Chinese restaurant.<\/p>\n

Sushi Nine\u00a0clearly had a lot of fans and supporters: the restaurant’s\u00a0posts on social media received lots of great feedback, and it had pretty decent Yelp ratings.\u00a0Kong L.<\/a>, an\u00a0Elite Yelp Reviewer (yes, that\u2019s a thing, and from what I\u2019ve heard, there are real-life perks, like free meals from restaurants, invitations to grand openings, groupies, etc.) wrote of Sushi Nine:<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve searched near and far for the best sushi in the Raleigh area and hands down\u2026\u201dSushi Nine\u201d is the winner! I\u2019ve been living in Raleigh, NC for the past 3 years and have tried sushi from all over the area and nothing is as good as sushi nine. Each time I visit, I know exactly how the roll should taste; consistency is the key. I also like just enough sauce on my sushi; not splattered and drowned with sauce.<\/em><\/p>\n

BOGO all day and everyday whether you\u2019re eating in or taking out. That\u2019s the up side of this sushi restaurant.<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s unknown at this time whether the BOGO deal will be brought back, but we imagine most patrons will just be happy to see the return of their favorite sushi joint.<\/p>\n

In other foreign-food foodie news, the Jerusalem Bakery & Grocery at the Mission Valley Shopping Center \u2014 not far from Sushi Nine, as it happens \u2014 will apparently be expanding its operations, per a permit issued December 20. The $26,000 job, which will be handled by Sam G. Budwan, describes the work involved as “expanding into Suite 106.”<\/p>\n

As Jerusalem Bakery currently occupies suite 105, we take this to mean that 106’s current occupant, Quizno’s Subs, will be no more. Tragic, but hey, the bakery has much better Yelp reviews, and apparently serves the best baklava in Raleigh. We might have to verify this for ourselves at some point.<\/p>\n

Over at Cameron Village, the Harris Teeter-attached Starbucks is set to undergo a significant, $600,000 interior and exterior upgrade. The work will be undertaken by Independence Construction Company. We can’t imagine what kind of transformation $600k will bring to this humble coffee shop, but if it were up to us, Independence Construction would turn it into the new home of Dumb Starbucks.
