A new Japanese restaurant is headed to downtown Highland.
Sakura Bowl Restuarant will fill the space the legendary Lincoln O's sandwich shop vacated when it closed last year. Highland Building Commissioner Ken Mika said the new owners run the Dragon Bowl restaurant in Munster.
"I believe the party currently owns a restaurant in Munster on the northeast corner of Hohman Avenue and Ridge Road," he said.
Redevelopment Director Kathy DeGuilio-Fox said the new owners have been renovating the restaurant's interior since last fall.
Lincoln O's, a beloved local institution known for its Italian submarine sandwiches and its U.S. Steel Special, closed last year after being founded in Gary 55 years prior.

Sakura Bowl, Hibachi & Sushi Restaurant is taking over the former Lincoln O's restaurant spot at 2813 Highway Ave. in downtown Highland after that half-century-old sandwich shop closed last year.
Though neighboring Munster is home to both Little Tokyo Japanese Restaurant and Kitaro Surf & Turf & Sushi, Sakura Bowl will be Highland's only sushi place. It also will feature teppanyaki-style cuisine in which steak, shrimp, noodles, vegetables are cooked in a metal pan on a flat-top hibachi grill, usually in front of customers.

Sakura Bowl opens Sunday in the space of the former Lincoln's O Restaurant in downtown Highland, across from Growler's.
The owners of the Dragon Bowl Chinese restaurant in Munster expanded into Highland with a Japanese hibachi and sushi restaurant at 2813 Highland Ave.
The new Asian restaurant replaces the Lincoln O's sandwich shop that carved up Italian subs and specialties like the U.S. Steel Special, Chester hoagie, Bunny Girl, Dagwood Cal City Special, Toledo sandwich and the Sibley Special for more than 55 years in downtown Highland before closing last year.
Sakura Bowl is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m Friday and Saturday, and from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday.
