This week on Arch Eats, George and Cheryl have some breaking news about one of St. Louis’ most anticipated restaurants. Ever since he first announced his revolving sushi restaurant and ramen bar, Sakatanoya, owner Anthony Wang has been the talk of the town—and for good reason. The forthcoming restaurant, which will soon open in the Delmar Loop, is the most novel place to open in St. Louis in recent memory, and the hosts get the inside scoop on everything from its double-tier, all-you-can-eat sushi conveyor belt, robot waiters, wild cocktail concept, and its official opening date. It’s an episode you won’t want to miss about what’s sure to be the hottest spot in town. Listen and follow Arch Eats on YouTubeSpotifyApple Podcasts, or wherever podcasts are available.

GM: Why did you choose St. Louis and why open this restaurant on The Loop?

AW: Honestly, it wasn’t really that I choose St. Louis. It feels like St. Louis chose me. I actually traveled across the US to explore different possibilities. But when I walk down [Delmar Boulevard], I have an instant feeling. It feels like a voice inside my head, “This is the place. You have to grab that. You have to open a restaurant over here.” Strangely enough, the middle three digits of my phone number is exactly the same as the St. Louis area code. So I think it is probably destiny that guided me here.
