Chelsea’s Sushi Bar Expands with Second Location in Williamsburg

Chelsea’s Sushi Bar, known for its minimalist design and traditional sushi offerings in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood, has opened a second location in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The new restaurant opened earlier this month and brings the brand outside Manhattan for the first time.

The Williamsburg location is situated on Bedford Avenue, a busy street known for its mix of shops, restaurants, and residential buildings. The space features a similar layout and decor to the Chelsea original, including a sushi bar and small dining area. The menu closely matches the original, focusing on nigiri, sashimi, and a selection of rolls.

The expansion comes amid steady demand for Japanese cuisine in Brooklyn neighborhoods. The owners cited the area’s growing food scene and diverse customer base as factors in choosing Williamsburg. There is no indication yet whether further locations are planned.

Chelsea’s Sushi Bar opened in Chelsea five years ago and has maintained a steady following among local residents and commuters. With its second location, the owners aim to reach a broader audience while keeping the understated style and quality that have defined the original.
