New Sushi Restaurant Opens In Former Cubano's Space In Silver Spring

SILVER SPRING, MD — A new sushi restaurant opened in downtown Silver Spring on Saturday after a brief soft launch that began last Wednesday.

Momiji Sushi & Izakaya, located at 1201 Fidler Lane, announced its grand opening on social media Saturday. Its signage and grand opening banner are now in place on the building.

The restaurant replaces Cubano's Restaurant, which closed after two decades in operation, according to Source of the Spring.

Momiji is not related to the restaurant of the same name that operated in Washington, D.C.'s Chinatown neighborhood and closed last year.

"I called the D.C. location [...] when I originally saw the sign posted and confirmed they are not the same owners," Jacob Newman, director of Silver Spring Regional Services, told Source of the Spring.

The restaurant currently has no website but is active on Facebook and Instagram and has a listed phone number.
