The seemingly unstoppable folks from Cheu Noodle Bar and Cheu Fishtown are back at it again with Nunu, a Japanese-style bar that will be located directly adjacent to Cheu’s Fishtown location. Nunu will be serving up Japanese cocktails and beer, yakitori, katsu, milk bread sandwiches, small plates and sides, and will have an outdoor bar area. This concept is slated to open “sometime in this life,” according to its Instagram page, though we’ve heard that we can expect a springtime opening. 1414 Frankford Ave., Philadelphia
