Sapp’s, a Japanese restaurant in Long Island City, will be expanding as well. The restaurant has secured a space at 2888 Broadway, between 112th and 113th Streets, and is anticipated to open in the fall.
This restaurant offers an extensive menu of sushi appetizers and entrees, noodle soups, dumplings, meat skewers, specialty rolls and more. An extensive drink list also comes with a couple of sake cocktails and specialty shots.
This will be Sapp’s second location, and owner Shih Lee (who also owns SHI) tells Columbia he thinks the location will be a win. “We’re very excited to be part of the Columbia University community, especially in a post pandemic world,” he told them.
We’ll provide updates once these restaurants get closer to opening!
