Tokyo Japanese Steakhouse Moves Into Former Sakura Spot

The empty building in Amarillo at 4000 S Soncy has gone through a lot without having a tenant. We saw Sakura closing in that location. We rode the emotional roller coaster of hearing it would reopen.

Amarillo’s Restaurant Comebacks Give Hope

We hoped, especially after seeing other restaurants in Amarillo doing just that. We got to celebrate when Beef O'Brady's got new owners and opened their doors again. We were also more than thrilled when the same thing happened for Malcolm's. So, finding out that Sakura was going to as well, we were all for it.

Except that never happened. The building was back up for sale. We went back to wondering and waiting. Then the news came that Tokyo Japanese Steakhouse, 5807 SW 45th, was going to move into the empty location.

Tokyo Japanese Steakhouse Makes Its Move

Now, don't get them confused with Bangkok Tokyo, they are still, last we heard, moving into the former BL Bistro location in Wolflin. I was even confused and had to check to make sure I had the information correct.

A Bigger Space for Amarillo’s Diners

Yes, Tokyo Japanese Steakhouse had a small location in a shopping center on 45th, but that is all about to change. They are now open in the former Sakura location. They are going to be able to have all of the space in the world.

Opening This Week at 4000 S Soncy

Driving by over the past several weeks, we got to watch vehicles working on the property. It was getting close. Very close. Amarillo is excited. That empty building in Amarillo now has new tenants, and it happened on Tuesday. They are open and ready for you.
