Sushi Mo

Two sisters will launch their first restaurant this spring to share their Japanese cooking experience with Vancouver diners.Monica Mo of Vancouver and her sister Mi Jung Mo, who will soon move to Vancouver from South Korea, plan to open Sushi Mo in a vacant storefront in downtown Vancouver. The sushi, hot food, saki and wine bar restaurant will open in the Gravitate building, which was the longtime home of Koplan’s Home Furnishings, at West 11th and Washington streets. Opening is set for sometime in March, Monica Mo said. “Food has always been an important part of our life. My sister, Mi Jung, and I have loved to cook ever since we were young. For us, the love we had for cooking matched the love we had for eating, which is saying a lot,” Mo said in email. “We would always work together to create new recipes, while also repeatedly trying to improve others.”
