New Restaurant Coming To Brookline Village

BROOKLINE, MA — After sitting empty since December, the spot at the corner of Washington and Station Street that once was home to a burger joint looks set to become a Japanese inspired restaurant.

The new restaurant appears to be set to joining Pon Thai Bistro, Migaku Noodle House, Poke Garden, Sichuan Garden, Wow BBQ and Pineapple Thai Cuisine all within a couple blocks in Brookline Village.

The proposed manager for the new restaurant is set to appear before the Select Board for a liquor license and a food license Tuesday. The company behind the restaurant is also behind New Sushi in Allston and Boston. All you can eat Nijiya Sushi in Medford.

According to Brookline the name will be "Omori," and is set to have a seating for 40 inside and 18 outside. And the plan is to be open Monday to Sunday 11 a.m to 1 a.m.

The spot at the corner of Station Street and Best Burger Bar first opened in August 2017, taking over the space where the art-house coffee shop Middle Gray once sat. Before that the space had sat empty for quite a while.

No word yet on when it plans to open.
