Plan review documents identify Ziki Sushi & Grill as a planned restaurant at 5025 Moccasin Wallow Road in Palmetto, near the intersection with 49th Avenue. The address places it in a fast-growing stretch of the city.

The planned location was reported by WhatNow, which also noted nearby restaurants including The Greyson and Corporate Ladder Brewing Company.

WhatNow reported that a launch timeline and planned menu offerings had not been made public. Would-be diners are awaiting further details from the restaurant.

A New Retail and Medical Plaza Takes Shape

The restaurant is also listed as a planned tenant in a new retail and medical plaza beside the ABC Fine Wine & Spirits location on Moccasin Wallow Road in North Palmetto, according to moccasinwallow.com. Other listed tenants include BODYBAR Pilates, Mann Orthodontics, and The Dream Barbershop.

The planned plaza would add dining, retail, and service businesses to a corridor that already has newer restaurants and other businesses. Ziki Sushi & Grill would be another dining option for the area.

Road Improvements Planned for the Corridor

Manatee County’s FY2026–FY2030 Capital Improvement Plan describes a project to widen Moccasin Wallow Road from 115th Avenue East to west of Sawgrass Road. The plan calls for four travel lanes, bike lanes, sidewalks, street lighting, and a new signalized intersection at Sawgrass Road, according to the Manatee County Government Capital Improvement Plan. The plan identifies the FY2026–FY2030 period and lists construction from 07/23 to 12/26 in its Schedule of Activities.

Early Buzz Builds Before Doors Even Open

A Google Maps review appeared before the restaurant opened. One reviewer wrote, “Super excited about this place!”

WhatNow reported that attempts to reach owner Xukui Wu for comment were unsuccessful. The restaurant has not publicly shared further details about its menu or opening date.
