"It's a sign of the times," Owner Brian Hurdus told Patch regarding the closure. "We lost a little bit of business and it was always huge overhead to begin with.

As for Sarku Japan, the following is a description of what locals can expect when they open their doors in East Meadow.
From Sarku Japan's website:
Founded in 1987, Sarku Japan introduced fresh “made-to-order” Japanese cuisine prepared with high quality ingredients to provide a healthy, nutritious alternative to traditional fast food meals. We were the first to establish the concept of Teppanyaki-style, freshly cooked Japanese cuisine in food courts of major regional shopping centers. Today, we are still the only QSR operator to offer this distinguishing Teppanyaki feature as a national standard.
Company officials did not return Patch's calls for comment, and the eatery's opening date is not available at this point. For the latest updates, check back with Patch.
