New 200-seat Asian restaurant poised to open in former Ruby Tuesday
HUBER HEIGHTS — Renovation has taken longer than anticipated, but a new restaurant entitled Osaka Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar is poised to open in a former Ruby Tuesday restaurant at 8120 Old Troy Pike (Ohio 202) in Huber Heights.
The restaurant could open as early as next week, according to owner Johnny Zhang of Tipp City. It will open with 10 to 14 employees, Zhang said. The new Huber Heights restaurant has no affiliation with a Beavercreek restaurant that is also called Osaka Japanese Steakhouse, Zhang said.
Zhang, formerly of Hot Springs, Ark., has 18 years experience with other Asian restaurants across the country. He said he was drawn to the former Ruby Tuesday site because of its high-profile location at the I-70-Ohio 202 interchange. The Ruby Tuesday closed in early 2009.
We first mentioned Osaka back in April 2010, and Zhang said the extensive renovations took longer than expected in part because of the need to install a new sprinkler system and other required updates.
When it opens, Osaka Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar will serve lunch and dinner seven days a week. For more information, call (937) 236-3888.
