Robert Moon, who's owned Shiroi Hana on 15th Street near Locust for a dozen years, is planning a Japanese sushi/noodle house called Doma at 1822 Callowhill St., next to the newish King of Tandoor, down the block from Sabrina's and Kite & Key, and across from the Rose Tattoo.
Moon, who describes his concept as "special-occasion dining at neighborhood prices," hopes to open in late December or early January.
Merchants along this Franklintown strip are thinking long-term, as they're behind the forthcoming Barnes museum on the Parkway.
