"Rondo will take over the space vacated by Junkichi Robata Izakaya, another Japanese restaurant whose gimmick was a charcoal robata grill … featuring an actual robot. Last month, Junkichi mysteriously shut down, claiming it was “due to renovations” — but apparently the closing was more than temporary (Eater Seattle reached out to Junkichi for an explanation, but did not hear back before this article was published)." - Gabe Guarente
