The Japanese restaurant features a sushi bar and a dozen hibachi tables.
Osaka Sushi and Hibachi is now open at Woodbury Lakes. Located near the Tamarack Road entrance to Woodbury Lakes, the restaurant opened Tuesday, May 7. It’s at 9000 Hudson Road, suite 622. Behind the main restaurant area of Osaka, formerly Kenichi Japanese and Sushi, are 12 hibachi tables in a large open room.

The restaurant was completely renovated and has a number of features unique to Woodbury.
The Woodbury Cowboy Jack’s is set to open Monday, May 6. The space—which has seen several restaurants come and go over the past few years—has been completely renovated. “We tried to bring the After Midnight Group’s flavor to it and we’re really excited about it,” said Chris Diebold, owner. About $1 million was sunk into the renovation, which features 38,000 square feet of old barn wood, two fireplaces, shuffleboard courts and Western décor. The bar was also moved to the other side of the restaurant. “We could have just slapped a coat of paint on it, but that’s not what we do,” Diebold said. Volleyball courts are being installed (teams have already signed up and the leagues are set to begin in June) and there’s also a roulette-like charity-…

The business partners with Torque Studio Cycle; both opened in January.
Featuring underwater video analysis, specialized exercise routines and, come summer, open-water swimming sessions, a Woodbury business that opened recently focuses on triathlon training. In The Moment opened in January in the same building as Torque Studio Cycle, with which it partners. So far, things are “awesome” at the new studio, said Vahid Sadrzadeh, founder and CEO. Though he swam competitively for 25 years, Sadrzadeh a few years ago lost 75 pounds after he discovered triathlons. “What better way to dedicate my life to people who are in my shoes?” he said. In The Moment has triathlon-training programs for people of all ability levels, Sadrzadeh said. Co-founder and trainer Luis Leonardo has been doing triathlons for 17 years. “All …

Sidewalks are torn up but the doors are open.
While work on a building at Woodbury’s CityWalk development progresses, the businesses there are open. “It’s just a nuisance,” said Melissa Fink, co-owner of Wild Child Hair. The sidewalks are torn up as crews fix footings and siding is being replaced on the building at the 10000 block of City Walk Drive. Fink said she feels people driving by assume her hair salon, Quiznos, H&R Block and Waxing the City are closed. Walk-ins have slowed since the work began, she said. Association members at CityWalk last spring filed a lawsuit against developers alleging shoddy workmanship, the Woodbury Bulletin reported. Fink said there have been issues with water seepage at the building. The work is expected to be complete by mid May or mid June, Fink …

It's the latest the course has opened in five years.
Oak Marsh Golf Course in Oakdale is opening for the season on Sunday. Already, more than 200 people have signed up for tee times, said Steve Whillock, general manager and director of golf. Oak Marsh is typically one of the first courses in the area to open each year, Whillock said. Yet the long winter weather delayed the opening a bit, and 2013 is the latest the course has opened in five years, he said. The course typically opens in mid-March, Whillock said. The range at Oak Marsh opened Thursday, and people were taking advantage, Whillock said, even though golfers sometimes had to walk over snow banks. Also, new this year at the Oakdale course is happy hour on Friday nights, starting April 26. Oak Marsh Golf Course is located at 526 …
