"Domo Hospitality Group is crossing the East River and planting a flag in Williamsburg, bringing Konya by Konban, a compact hand‑roll and izakaya concept, to a busy stretch of Kent Avenue. The new spot is set to take over a 1,850‑square‑foot ground‑floor storefront at 235 Kent Avenue, under a 10‑year lease, and will include a small outdoor patio. It will be Domo's sixth New York City location and its first in Brooklyn."
"According to Crain's New York Business, Capricorn Retail Advisors represented both sides of the deal, and the space previously housed Field Guide. The report notes that the unit sits just a couple of blocks from the neighborhood's Trader Joe's and the former Showfields storefront, which is expected to be taken over by Uniqlo. Domo Hospitality, founded by Jae Kim and Brian Park, runs a mix of Korean and Japanese concepts around the tri‑state area, including Ondo, BRBQ, Koban and Domodomo."
"Max Talpalar told Crain's New York Business that this stretch of Kent has been "a super successful area for restaurants," pointing to development around Two Trees' campus that has helped drive more traffic and retail demand into the corridor. The outlet also cites REBNY data that pegs average asking rents in the immediate area at around $100 per square foot, which sheds light on why a relatively modest, patio‑equipped footprint can be appealing for a group expanding quickly."
