- Ahi Muse, Itto Sushi, Tepanyaki Japanese Steakhouse and Teriyaki Stix will Provide Customers a Variety of Regional Asian Cuisine
- Additionally, University Place is Building New Five-story Parking Structure
OREM, Utah (October 23, 2017) – University Place, a 120-acre mixed-use development project formerly known as University Mall, today announced that it is expanding its dining selections with four new locally-owned restaurants.
University Place is already home to the Seasons Food Court, and more than 25 food and beverage options, representing a mix of fast-casual and sit-down dining restaurants. The new additions include:
- Ahi Muse – All-you-can-eat sushi and steak restaurant, including a variety of seafood including lobsters and crabs. Ahi Muse will host live entertainment and music daily, as well as monthly tuna shows. Ahi Muse is located in The Village along 800 East, and celebrated its grand opening earlier this month.
- Itto Sushi – This sushi bar prides themselves in serving fresh, never frozen, fish delivered from San Francisco, and using premium Japanese rice cooked properly at a high heat for a short time. Itto Sushi is located on next to Macy’s just east of Midici The Neapolitan Pizza Company and right by the 545 University Place Office Building, and has an anticipated open date of late November.
- Tepanyaki Japanese Steakhouse – Diners will be able to watch their meals being prepared right at their table at this hibachi-style restaurant. Tepanyaki Japanese Steakhouse will be located near the corner of University Parkway and 800 East, directly east of Starbuck, and is planned to open in November.
- Teriyaki Stix – Opening the beginning of November, Teriyaki Stix is an alternative to fast food, offering salad and rice bowls using fresh ingredients. Stix is located in The Village, between the Cinemark movie theater and Deseret Book.
“What’s unique about all four of these new restaurants is that on top of serving delicious fare, they are all locally owned,” Randy Woodbury, president of Woodbury Corporation. “We take pride in being able to offer diners a wide variety of food options, and we’re glad to welcome these new additions to University Place.”
Other restaurants that have recently opened at University Place include Oh Mai, offering Vietnamese sandwiches; Swig n’ Sweets, which offers unique blended beverages and cookies; Midici The Neapolitan Pizza Company, offering up authentic Neapolitan style pizza’s.
Additionally, University Place is currently building a new five-story parking structure directly west of The Orchard, to provide added convenience to shoppers and diners. The structure will offer more than a thousand parking stalls, and will be built in two phases, with the first scheduled for completion in November, just in time for the holiday shopping season.
