Mizuki, an all-you-can-eat sushi and hibachi restaurant, will be taking the place of the former Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar at 12110 Chenal Parkway in West Little Rock. Arkansas Times Cannabiz editor Griffin Coop alerted us to news last week that a sign had been placed on the front of the building and stopped to get a few photos for Eat Arkansas. There’s plenty of Applebee’s signage still left behind, Coop reports, including a Christmas Elf promotion for a $10 bonus gift card with the purchase of a $50 gift card.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported that the owners are targeting an August opening for the restaurant, which will feature a “buffet with all-you-can-eat sushi, sashimi and nigiri and kitchen-prepared hibachi dishes.”
Applebee’s closed the Chenal store in December after 28 years in the neighborhood.
