I can assure you this courtyard has seen only minor damage

It's a real pity Bob didn't approve a Detroit-themed land. They'd be ready to reopen this afternoon and we'd celebrate the realism that only Disney can achieve.

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.

Sell well with the typical midwestern & southern WDW guest is what you actually mean.

They already sell sushi at Epcot - it’s not a new or unproven concept.

There’s also lots and lots of sushi restaurants all throughout the USA

Publix has been offering sushi onsite since 1997-1998. It is quite common to Americans.

I mean at one point Future World had a bunch of abandoned buildings, foreclosures were the future...

Either way, who wouldn't love a RoboCop themed land?

Disney did not release this, more than likely taken by a guest over the construction walls.

Good to see activity there.

Yeah, DH and I are regular high-end sushi bar customers...up here in the urban backwoods of the midwest.

I know malls aren’t a thing in the US like they are in much of the world, but any given Canadian food court 2/10 spots are Japanese, one is usually Chinese and one is usually SE Asian of some sort.

I feel like Japanese food is fairly prevalent and palatable enough for Americans these days. It’s been Americanized. Hopefully those electing for a Japanese themed restaraunt would understand what an American-Japanese restaraunt would serve.

Even just thinking of the major American cruise operators. Usually they start with a steak house, then Italian… but pretty quickly a sushi restaraunt is the next specialty the lines go to.

Not to mention Monsters allows them to go a tad off script.

Local malls by me all have at least one Asian place in the food court.

I'm an East Coast snob and I don't eat sushi. I'm too aware of marine microbiology to eat uncooked 'meat.'

I'm also darned confused why this is a topic in the M.Inc Land thread.

They are opening a sushi restaurant, probably.

 

[Spideeey_24]

In the old concept art, it shown someone holding a baby monsters in a strap

Would that consider kidnapping in the monsters world or no?

K,... I kinda missed that. Was that from Disney, an insider, or a guesser?

At little of column A and C. Harryhausens is replacing Mama Melrose as per both iterations of the concept art. That's why I added the probably caveat, the conversation originated when it was questioned if WDW guests could tolerate a Japanese restaurant based on the content of the menu implied from Monsters Inc.
