The owners of Taste of China are bringing two huge new restaurant / buffet / bar operations to the north side, to be called Fuze. Each will be slightly more than 14,000 square feet.

Both were approved for liquor licenses and are already well under construction. The goal is to be open this fall.

The food will be buffet style and of every type imaginable: Korean, Chinese, Mongolian, Italian, Mexican, Japanese and American.

Each will have a large bar and feature a modern, higher-end design by TAP Architecture.

Lots of money invested here; the old shopping center on NW Expressway (to be completely remodeled) alone was $1.8 million and the land near Penn & Memorial was almost half a million. Looks like very ambitious plans:
