The owners of Buredo only just opened their second location in Dupont Circle and already they’ve signed a lease for restaurant number three. The sushi burrito joint will open in a new mixed use development at 625 H Street Northeast, across from the forthcoming Whole Foods, next year—likely in late winter or early spring.
If you haven’t yet experienced the sushi burrito craze, Buredo serves oversized, nori-wrapped maki rolls with white rice, proteins ranging from pork shoulder to salmon sashimi, and other fusion fillings.
While there aren’t too many details about the new space at this point, co-owner Mike Haddad says the 1,500-square-foot spot will be somewhere in between the Dupont and Franklin Park locations in size. More shops are also on their way.
“We’re working on a few other deals,” Haddad says. “We’re in expansion mode, and we’re working on building the structure of the business internally to support the growth.”
