Kusshi Sushi\u2019s two upcoming Montgomery County locations are scheduled to appear before Montgomery County Alcohol Beverage Services (ABS) on Thursday, November 19, 2026, as both restaurants seek liquor licenses ahead of their anticipated openings.<\/p>\n
The restaurants, planned for Bethesda and Germantown, are each seeking a new Class B Beer, Wine & Liquor License for on-premises consumption. The hearings mark another step forward for the two locations, although opening dates have not yet been announced.<\/p>\n
As previously reported, Kusshi Sushi is planning its second Bethesda location at 4611 Sangamore Road in Sumner Place, taking over the former Passion Fin space. The expansion will bring another Kusshi restaurant to Bethesda, joining its existing location in the downtown area. An opening timeframe has not yet been provided.<\/p>\n
In Germantown, Kusshi is preparing to open in the former Zane Japanese Eatery space next to Beers and Cheers. The location was previously home to Indian Bistro and EN Asian Bistro and Sushi. Coming soon signage was installed at the property, and a $150,000 permit for interior updates was issued earlier this year, marking significant progress toward the restaurant\u2019s opening. The Germantown restaurant will be Kusshi\u2019s first location in the upcounty portion of Montgomery County.<\/p>\n
Kusshi Sushi debuted at Pike & Rose in North Bethesda in 2018 and has since expanded throughout the region. Its existing Montgomery County locations include Pike & Rose, Bethesda, Rockville Town Square, and Downtown Silver Spring. The restaurant group also expanded into Northern Virginia, including a location at Reston Town Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
