TUSCALOOSA, AL — A few months after closing down its longtime location on 15th Street, Ichiban Japanese Grill & Sushi this week announced it will officially open for takeout service at its new University Boulevard location in downtown Tuscaloosa on Friday, July 23. The popular eatery says outdoor seating will be available, but more tables and chairs will be added once the company gets a better idea of how much sidewalk space it can utilize at the new location, which is at 2128 University Boulevard.

Patch previously reported that the owners of the restaurant were notified in late February of the termination of their lease by the Hackberry Property, LLC. The property owners then gave 30-day notice to vacate the location by March 20. A GoFundMe drive was started to help the family-owned business relocate, raising $6,083 of its $5,000 goal as of Monday morning. To place a takeout order on Friday, call (205) 752-8844 or visit the restaurant's Facebook page for more. Have a news tip or suggestion on how I can improve Tuscaloosa Patch?
