Riverdale Park, MD — Prince George’s County continues to demonstrate its appeal as a destination for regional business expansion, with upscale Japanese restaurant Kusshi Sushi preparing to establish a new location at The Station at Riverdale Park.
As reported by Alison Beckwith of The Hyattsville Wire on October 14, 2026, the restaurant will occupy 4501 Woodberry Street, the former location of Le Fantome Food Hall, which closed in 2025.
Since opening in Bethesda in 2018, Kusshi has expanded throughout the Washington, D.C., metropolitan region, building a presence in communities including Rockville, Silver Spring, Arlington, Tysons, and Reston.

Strengthening the County's Commercial Landscape
The arrival of Kusshi represents more than an addition to the County's dining scene. It highlights the importance of attracting established businesses to existing commercial developments while supporting the continued evolution of mixed-use destinations.
The Station at Riverdale Park has become a destination for shopping, dining, and residential living. The addition of a new restaurant concept can help strengthen the development's tenant mix, attract visitors, and generate additional activity for surrounding businesses.
By bringing an established restaurant into a previously occupied commercial space, the development also demonstrates how existing properties can be repositioned to support new business activity.
Creating Opportunities for Local Businesses
Restaurant expansions can contribute to local economic activity beyond their immediate operations.
New dining establishments have the potential to create employment opportunities, increase consumer spending, and generate demand for services such as food distribution, maintenance, marketing, and other business-to-business support.
For nearby retailers and service providers, additional restaurant offerings can also encourage visitors to spend more time within a commercial district, creating opportunities for increased customer traffic.
Kusshi's decision to expand into Riverdale Park reinforces the importance of maintaining vibrant commercial corridors that can attract investment while supporting the businesses already operating within them.
As Prince George’s County continues to grow, the ability to attract regional brands while fostering opportunities for local entrepreneurs will remain an important component of building a diverse and resilient economy.
