  "textContent": "**TAMPA, FL —** Sushi Alive is planning its second location at 9316 Anderson Road, Tampa, FL 33634, with co-owners Jennifer Ly and her husband Timmy Ly expanding the 20-plus-year-old brand into a space previously occupied by Boston Pizza. Jennifer Ly told Business Debut the modern Asian restaurant will bring its established concept to the area, with an opening targeted for late August.\n\n## What to Expect\n\nThe new location will follow the same concept as the existing restaurant, offering a modern Asian sushi experience designed to be accessible across price points, Ly told Business Debut. The full-service restaurant will include indoor and outdoor seating, with capacity for roughly 300 guests including patio space.\n\nGuests can expect a family-friendly atmosphere with a large patio and open layout, aimed at accommodating a wide range of diners. Ly shared with Business Debut that the goal is to provide a space where guests can enjoy quality food and atmosphere without a premium price.\n\n## Menu and Vision\n\nThe menu will feature both sushi and a full kitchen offering, including teriyaki dishes, noodles, and other Asian-inspired items. Ly told Business Debut that more than half of the sushi options are cooked, allowing the menu to appeal to both sushi and non-sushi eaters.\n\nSushi Alive is also known for its popular happy hour offerings. The restaurant will offer a weekday happy hour from 5 p.m.–7 p.m. with discounted sushi, nigiri, sashimi, and drink specials, along with a late-night happy hour from 8 p.m. to close featuring half-off appetizers, Ly said.\n\nImage from Sushi Alive website\n\nLy noted that the brand continues to evolve its menu with new appetizers and desserts while maintaining consistency across locations.\n\n## Opening Timeline\n\nThe team is targeting a late August opening, though timing may shift slightly as construction progresses, Ly told Business Debut.\n\n## Hours\n\nWeekday hours are planned for 11 a.m.–2 p.m. for lunch and 5 p.m.–10 p.m. for dinner. On weekends, the restaurant will open at noon and remain open through close, with Sunday hours ending at 9 p.m. and Saturday around 10 p.m., Ly said.\n\n## Follow for More\n\nVisit their Website, Instagram, Facebook.\n\n* * *\n\nDrive community buzz with Business DebutWe aim to create local buzz before you even open.Business Debut | New Business Openings in the SoutheastRoss McWaters",
