The restaurant portion of the business will temporarily close on October 29, 2016. The bar and karaoke business will continue operations from 5:00 p.m. – 1:30 a.m. daily.
“As development plans move forward, I am hopeful to find another space in the International District to continue the long history of Bush Garden being a community gathering place and home to so many,” Bush Garden owner Karen Akada Sakata said. “I am grateful for the support shown to the Bush Garden family for all of these years.”
Bush Garden is the second oldest Japanese restaurant in Seattle and Washington state. More information will be released when available.
