(9/5/2011) – Bishamon Japanese Restaurant in Covina is set for remodeling this month. Some years ago, the 2nd floor Karaoke Bar was remodeled, and now finally it is the restaurant’s turn to get a makeover. The Karaoke bar will remain open during construction, but the restaurant dining area will be closed from September 15 – 30, and expected to reopen on October 1st. A pathway from the front door entrance to the stairs will be made for customers to enter the Karaoke Bar, opening at 9pm – Tues thru Sun.

I was involved in the initial ideas at the beginning of the year, but not much after that. So what the decor will actually look like will also be a surprise to me. What you can expect.. is that the sushi bar will be extended from the original 10 seats to about 18 seats. There will be 2 Sushi Chefs running the sushi bar together, so all sushi orders will come from the sushi bar. For the dining tables.. most of the booths will be eliminated.. replaced with long bench booth seats along the walls, with 2-4 person tables and chairs in front of it. This way.. the tables can be easily configured to accommodate groups of any size (within reason of course lol). So the restaurant will be much more ‘group friendly’ with the changes.

Luckily my office is stationed here at Bishamon, so I will be able to watch the construction, and offer more details and photos as it unfolds. “Pardon Our Dust” as they used to say at Disneyland lol. Hope you’ll join us for the Grand Opening of the new Bishamon!
