We want to create a gathering place where people can stop in for fresh handrolls and Japanese-Korean flavors that are simple, approachable and genuinely delicious. We\u2019re excited to become part of the neighborhood and share what we do with San Antonio,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The apartment complex is an Oxbow Development Group project.
