Yeah, that replaced PizzeRizzo. I'm referring to a replacement for Mama Melrose's. Sit-down Italian is rather approachable for most Americans. Certainly more approachable than Japanese or Asian fusion.

agree. niche food belongs in Epcot or DCA during their food truck season.

I have a sneaking suspicion this new restaurant won't be as exotic as some imagine.

And ridiculously high-margin.

I don’t know that there’s another table service restaurant in DHS where that would make sense. They are all so highly themed that I feel like you’d lose something if you switched their menus too radically. The only exception is Hollywood & Vine, but that seems safe since it’s the character dining buffet.

I don't really think Sushi is considered a niche food anymore... its very very popular. As is Hibachi

Anything more than California rolls with fake crab in them is most likely not gonna sell well with the US audience. And the price on sushi is ridiculous at off property restaurants. Hate to see it there lol.

that was my thinking - sushi and Asian fusion seems pretty standard nowadays ... some fairly basic rolls and like teryaki chicken or katsu or similar
I am sure can have a burger with a little uniqueness too
but maybe it is me as I don't understand why anyone bothers with like Cosmic Ray's but it is the busiest restaurant in all of Disney, right?

You know what's funny?
Because it is easy, and MK food options are not all that great.

I simultaneously want Disney to have more sushi and don't because the prices are always insane for the most basic rolls.
The few places that offer it are like twelve bucks for a six piece California roll. The non-Disney. sushi place I frequent sells those for 6.25. I don't expect Disney to be cheap, but there's a limit to how much I'm willing to put up with.

Location, capacity, indoors, visibility, menu variety and selection (something for everyone)
It's not pretty. It's not good. But it gets the job done.
I think they just need to take ideas from the restaurants in Japan from Epcot. Sushi does have a big market and many people like it. But also why would you have a sushi restaurant from the movie and not sell sushi there?
It'll be an Asian Hamburger Fusion restaurant.

Sashimi roll desserts perhaps.

Sushi has exponentially grown in popularity among younger eaters. I'm not sure it's going to be as much of an issue as some may think it would.

While I love sushi, I am not getting it at DHS. Even EPCOT is questionable. But, I don’t go to WDW for culinary delights. I am fortunate to live where I can get much better stuff. Plus, sushi needs to be very very high quality.
Now, if they want to do Hibachi or Teppanyaki, that would be fun…granted it steps on EPCOT’s toes.
I could see them redesigning a lot of the SGE Asian-fusion noodle based meals.
The theme, as usual, will be the bigger draw than the actual food.

I agree with the later park - I would like to do a Monsters Inc Sushi/Asian fashion dining experience but because it would (presumably) have fun theming and provide a unique experience and ideally also have at least solid food (no excuse to serve poor food) - but I am not picking my dining locations at Disney just for food quality
