Get Herald RSSHaruki East, a Japanese restaurant on Wayland Avenue, will open Haruki Express, a small takeout restaurant and Japanese grocery store, at 112 Waterman St. in about a month, said manager Kazu Kondo.
The location, adjacent to Subway, will offer Japanese cuisine - mainly sushi - prepared on site for prices similar to those at the Wayland location, where a sushi entree costs about $10. There are no "definite" plans for food delivery, Kondo said, adding that he does not know how many people the location will be able to serve in a day.
Ben Wong, owner of Thai restaurant Spice - located nearby at 110 Waterman St. - said he wasn't worried about competition because Thai and Japanese cuisine are different. "I like it," Wong said of the new Haruki site. The restaurant is owned by his friend, Haruki Kibe.
