ROANOKE, Va. – A local business is making a comeback in a big way.
Sakura Japanese Steak House has reopened one of its locations after a major fire nearly a year and a half ago.
The fire happened in November 2023 at their Roanoke location on Williamson Road, causing more than $250,000 in damages.
Since then, the community has shown strong support, helping out until the restaurant was able to reopen its doors on May 9 — a moment many were excited about.
The business currently employs more than 10 people and features a menu that blends meat, poultry, and seafood.
