Ruby 8 Noodles & Sushi has signed a lease with 28 Walker Development for 4200 square feet of restaurant space within McHenry Row, a mixed-use project on E. Fort Avenue in Baltimore's Locust Point neighborhood. With an expected early-May opening, this will be the second Baltimore City-area location for owners Chil and Joyce Chong, who have operated a highly popular Asian-Sushi restaurant at the Baltimore Horseshoe Casino since summer 2014.
According to General Manager Lisa Chung, the McHenry Row restaurant will be configured as a “more upscale, modern and contemporary version” of the Horseshoe Casino, with a greater emphasis placed on sushi, Asian cocktails and eighteen taps featuring local and imported beers. In addition, Ruby 8 will be adding a raw bar serving fresh oysters, clams and crab claws. The restaurant will include nearly 130 seats.

“Based on our success at the casino, we have become well-known in the Baltimore area and we wanted to create a new restaurant opportunity for our loyal customers in a different section of the city,” explained Lisa Chung. “McHenry Row provides just the type of atmosphere...including an energetic evening and weekend environment based on the existing restaurant mix, nearby businesses and residential areas to become a destination point in Locust Point. ”
The menu will feature a variety of Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese entrées to include roast duck soup, Bulgogi, Mongolian beef and Vietnamese beef pho; seafood selections such as sea bass, lobster and rockfish and specialty items such as General Tso’s chicken and Szechuan Spicy Pork.
