The installation, which just opened, is the first of at least 30 planned outlets by Chan that are intended to deliver a new concept in sushi service for New Yorkers.
Construction of the 601 Lexington store was supervised by John Gallin & Son president Mark Varian and Andrew Cortese, vice president and project manager.
Designed by the lower Manhattan-based interior architecture and engineering firm known as form-ula solutions group (CQ), the 1,000 s/f Sushi-teria has a multi-color motif and finishes suitable for high-quality restaurants, but no seating for dining, the restaurateur adds.
The Sushi-teria at 601 Lexington Ave. is situated in the atrium, with no street access. "For this prototype installation we wanted a fairly controlled environment where we can test the appeal of our concept, as well as our operating procedures," said Chan.
