Aug. 21, 2020 Staff Report

A well-known Japanese restaurant known for its hibachi cooking has permanently closed its Atlas Park shopping center location.

Shiro of Japan, a traditional sushi and hibachi restaurant, announced last week that it has shuttered its 80-40 Cooper Ave restaurant.

The owners—Peter Faccibene and Hiro Ishikawa—notified customers on their website last week.

The decision, they said, stemmed from COVID-19 restrictions.

“It is with a heavy heart that we need to announce the official closing of our Atlas Park Location,” the owners posted on Facebook.

“The uncertainty of our ability to open inside dining and troubling times that the COVID Pandemic has brought upon us all has forced us to make this difficult decision.”

The owners operate another Shiro of Japan restaurant at Carle Place on Long Island and are urging existing customers to go there.

A Flushing man was found guilty on Tuesday of brutally killing a 29-year-old woman at his Main Street apartment after a jury deliberated for just two hours before reaching a verdict.

Quming Wan, 55, was convicted of murder, sexual abuse, and related charges for the November 2021 death of Jiaomei Zhou, whose body he carried from his blood-soaked residence to the lobby before he was interrupted by other residents of his building across from Kissena Corridor Park.
