A longtime Junction restaurant has announced it’s moving. Mashiko (4725 California SW) made the announcement this afternoon:
Mashiko is moving?!?!
You heard it here first, folks! After 32 years in our humble location, It’s time to say goodbye to the building as it’ll be torn down soon. The Junction and y’all are special to us in so many ways. We’ve been through a lot together! First dates, anniversaries, birthdays, saying goodbyes and welcoming others, but don’t fret! We’re not going far!
We’ll be relocating to White Center, where both Mariah and Alix each call home. We hope that you’ll come and see us in the Junction over the next few months and say goodbye to the location that has brought us all together over the last 3 decades. It’s been an honor to serve you here and we look forward to creating new memories with you in the future location (to be announced soon).
The current owners took over seven years ago; Mashiko founder Hajime Sato moved out of state. Regarding the building being “torn down,” we checked city files to be sure we hadn’t missed anything, and there is nothing currently on file for that address. The building is owned by the Miller family, which does have a long-on-hold project further south on the block awaiting better development conditions.
