Exciting News for Columbia Food Lovers: Sukiya Japanese Steakhouse to Open Soon in Harbison Area!

Exciting News for Columbia Food Lovers: Sukiya Japanese Steakhouse is Coming Soon!

Columbia, South Carolina, is buzzing with news that has many food enthusiasts excited! After the beloved Yamato Japanese Steakhouse closed its doors back in January after a remarkable 49 years in business, it looks like grill flames will be flickering back to life at the same location. A new restaurant named Sukiya Japanese Steakhouse is set to take over the spot at 360 Columbiana Drive, right in the heart of the busy Harbison shopping district, northwest of downtown Columbia.

A Familiar Presence

If you’re a food lover in the area, you might already be familiar with Sukiya. This exciting addition to Columbia is not entirely new; there’s already a location that has garnered quite a fan base at 5228 Sunset Blvd. in Lexington. Sukiya promises to bring the same delicious offerings that have made it a hit in the neighboring community, so expect to see some familiar favorites!

What Happened to Yamato?

The closing of Yamato was a bittersweet moment for many. Operating in Columbia for nearly half a century and residing at the Columbiana Drive building since 2000, this restaurant had become a local institution. Their abrupt closure left a significant gap in the dining choices for residents and visitors alike. Although a Yamato restaurant is still open in Myrtle Beach, the loss of the Columbia location was felt deeply by its loyal customers.

Thriving Harbison Area

With the vibrant retail landscape in the Columbiana Drive and Harbison area, it’s no surprise that Sukiya chose this location. It’s surrounded by an array of popular retailers and restaurants, making it a prime spot for food lovers. The nearby Columbiana Centre mall, Target, Walmart, Sam’s Club, and Publix attract crowds, ensuring that Sukiya will get plenty of foot traffic once it opens its doors.

If you’re itching for a bite to eat after a shopping spree, you won’t have to look far. With dining options like Miyabi, Carrabba’s, Braza Do Sul, and Texas Roadhouse all nearby, it’s safe to say that the Harbison area is a foodie’s paradise. Sukiya will add another delicious layer to this already rich culinary scene.

What’s Next for Sukiya?

As for the opening date, there’s still a bit of mystery. Although banners are hanging outside the restaurant announcing Sukiya is coming soon, details about when you’ll be able to savor their offerings have not yet been shared publicly. But if the buzz around the community is any indication, people are more than ready to welcome this new eatery with open arms!

Final Thoughts

For those who cherish a good meal at a Japanese steakhouse, the arrival of Sukiya is certainly a reason to celebrate. The culinary landscape of Columbia will soon have a fresh addition that not only reignites the grill but also carries on the rich tradition of Japanese dining. As you count down the days until Sukiya opens, keep an eye out for updates and stay tuned for more details on what promises to be a fabulous new destination for dining in Columbia!
