Fondren Grand Opening

admin — Thu, 20 May 2010 00:15:48 +0000

They may not have a grand opening scheduled until Monday, but a new restaurant wants you to know they are open for business now. Like most new eateries, Fatsumo has held a “soft opening” all week, taking time to train their employees and put last minute details in place. Operating partner Chef Scott Meinka said yesterday that they now have a fully stocked bar (“we have had some gin drinkers come by and we’re ready for them.”) Meinka also added the sidewalk full of chairs was just another sign of putting all the pieces into place. “We got our chairs in,” the Chef told us, “and some folks may have thought we were closed yesterday.” Not so.

Meinka and his staff, including managing partner Edward Cooper, invite you to come in all this weekend for lunch, dinner and drinks (11:00am-10:00pm Friday and Saturday, 11:00am-2:30pm and 5:00pm to 10:00pm Sunday) and experience “the skinny on American sushi.

Fatsumo Sushi Opens in Jackson

No fooling around: it was standing room only for Fondren’s newest restaurant Friday and Saturday, but as of Monday, April 4, they’re open for business! Fatsumo Sushi, a Gulfport based eatery, opened Tuesday at lunch to sit down service from 11am-2:30pm. Operating partner and chef Scott Meinka says “we did make our target of April 1.” He added, so far, diners are very pleased. “Our training exercises have gone well. The feedback is that our sushi is bite sized and we have great diversity (in our flavors).”

Fatsumo served sample bites over the weekend of various dishes including edamame, sushi, miso soup, and other delicacies. The restaurant also ran a limited “cash and carry.” Meinka says regular hours will be 11am-2:30pm for lunch, and 5pm-10pm for dinner, and Fridays and Saturdays all day. They will not be open for Monday lunches.

We told you in February about plans for Fatsumo and today we are proud to welcome them officially to the neighborhood! Fatsumo is located on Duling Avenue next to Fischer Galleries (suite 102). Call 769.216.3574, find Fatsumo on Facebook and online at FatsumoSushi.com.
