After remodeling the former Izumi's restaurant space, sushi restaurant Kanpai 2 is open at 2150 N. Prospect Ave.

The second location of sushi restaurant Kanpai is serving nigiri, maki rolls and entrees at 2150 N. Prospect Ave., the freshly remodeled former home of Izumi's Japanese restaurant.

Kanpai's original location is in the Third Ward, at 408 E. Chicago St.

Jong Kim said the remodeling brought a contemporary aesthetic to the space that's similar to the Third Ward location. The east side restaurant has booths and a banquette in white; the sushi bar was renovated, and blinds that covered the windows have been removed, Kim said.

"It's way, way different," he said.

The next project for the 99-seat restaurant will be adding a patio, Kim said, although it might be early fall or next year before it's ready.

The menus at the east side and Third Ward restaurants are identical, Kim said.

Hours are 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for lunch Monday to Saturday and 4:30 to 10 p.m. for dinner daily, Kim said.
