Charles Wong's anticipated barbecue restaurant, Umamicue, has halted its plans to open at Sterling Food Hall due to mismanagement by STHRN Hospitality Co. Wong cites the failure to provide a lease and problems with equipment as factors eroding his trust. Originally aimed at expanding to a prime downtown location, he now faces financial uncertainty while letting go of staff from previous locations. The opportunity was viewed as a means to reach a broader audience and further Wong's dream of a full-service restaurant, making this setback particularly disappointing.
"As weeks passed, Wong's confidence in the food hall's management decreased, and his concerns continued to rise as he waited to sign a lease that never materialized."
"Working in a downtown food hall with big lunch crowds would have represented a new challenge for Wong and a way to introduce even more customers to Umamicue's unique offerings."
