A new restaurant is preparing to open for business in the Springboro shopping center anchored by Dorothy Lane Market.

Wasabi has posted a banner at 784 N. Main St., the site of a former China Cottage location.

“Wasabi Japanese Cuisine Coming Soon!” the banner states.

No other information accompanied the sign. There is a Wasabi Steak & Sushi restaurant with four locations in northeast Ohio, but it is not yet clear whether the Springboro location will be related.

China Cottage closed at the end of last year at that address, saying it planned to relocate.

“Big changes are on the horizon,” a China Cottage sign stated at that time. “As our lease in our current Springboro location concludes at the end of this year, we are gearing up for an incredible relocation.”

An inquiry last month on the China Cottage Facebook page about that restaurant possibly relocating in Springboro received the following response from the business:

“I wish we had more information at the moment, but we’re currently working hard to build and create the perfect space for our customers. Thank you for your patience and please stay tuned and connected for updates. We’ll share more information as soon as we have an ETA on the opening.”
