A new restaurant called Sansu will be opening the first week of February, giving East Lansing residents a different place to dine on Japanese cuisine.

The restaurant located at 4750 S. Hagadorn Road, Suite 10, will specialize in sushi, maki, teriyaki entrees and fusion food.

Sansu is owned by Bong Jeon, who has 35 years experience in the business. His family will be helping him manage the new restaurant.

It does have a liquor license and will have special lunch sampler platters called bento.

The owners of Sansu said they are very proud of their cooking staff as well as their fish, which will be fresh at all times.

Rebecca Jeon, daughter of the restaurant's owner, said the main sushi chef has more than 30 years experience and is from New York.

The restaurant offers carryout food.
