Signs have been put up at a new Japanese restaurant in Darlington town centre.

T.A.O Street-food & Noodle Bar will be opening soon at 27 Blackwellgate.

The business is opening in the building that was used for Yoby, a Chinese noodle and fried chicken restaurant and takeaway.

After several months, however, the restaurant did not open and now the site will be home to T.A.O.

According to the website, the restaurant offers food “inspired by traditional flavours, T.A.O. offers a fresh, creative and respectful interpretation of Japanese cuisine.

“We offer various menus tailored to your occasion and budget, from corporate events to private gatherings.”

On the business’ Instagram page, images of sushi, sashimi, and gyoza, can been seen as well as images of the striking interior décor.

An opening date is yet to be revealed but judging by the business’ social media accounts, Darlington will soon have its own Japanese eatery.

The Northern Echo approached T.A.O. Street-food & Noodle Bar for comment but did not receive a response.
