Demolition has begun inside a small building at the intersection of Auburn Boulevard and Rollingwood Boulevard that was once home to a small Asian eatery.
A visit by Sentinel staff this week found the interior of the building formerly occupied by Teriyaki Land under construction. The new owner was on site and told The Sentinel that he purchased the building three months ago.
He plans turn the small restaurant space into a new American fast-food restaurant, but he did not yet know which restaurant was planned. The new owner anticipates the building to be ready for occupancy within the next month.
Teriyaki Land closed in August 2021, according to prior reports. The 1,246-square-foot building was listed for sale in October 2021 for $675,000, but in recent years, the price dropped by over $100,000 according to commercial real estate site LoopNet. Property sales history information lists the previous sale to a new owner as occurring in 2019 for $340,000.

In 2021, a frequent Teriyaki Land customer told The Sentinel that the previous owners were friendly.
After it was purchased three months ago, the one-third-acre lot has since been spruced up, according to accounts from neighboring business owners along Auburn Boulevard.
Adjacent businesses to the building include Delish Pizza, Mann’s Liquor, Les Schwab Tire Center, and Romanian Christian Fellowship Church. The building was built in 1975, according to the listing.
