Running Dish, a new Korean restaurant by the team behind Pittsburgh-based Japanese eatery Sushi Bomb, has inked a 10,000-square-foot lease at Sugarland Crossing in Sterling, Va.

Bao Lin and Jin Lin, who started the first Sushi Bomb in 2019, and opened a restaurant in Hagerstown, Md., in 2021, will look to match its success as owners of Running Dish. The new restaurant will offer a mix of sushi, hot pot, and Korean BBQ. It is scheduled to open later this summer.
