And it’s one bright spot in neighborhood activists’ ongoing fight against new development threatening small businesses and the availability of affordable housing. It all seems like a fitting tribute to Santos, who spent much of his career successfully fighting against the intrusion of non-local businesses and gentrification in the Chinatown-International District. Dynasty Room, which won Eater Seattle’s 2018 Bar of the Year, is set to close by the end of July so the building can be torn down. The current Four Seas Restaurant building still stands on the site and is home to Dynasty Room, a semi-permanent bar in the old restaurant’s lounge.
I know the karaoke places here in Seattle use Japanese VCDS and LDs I think. I dont know about videos, but I know there were Laserdiscs sold awhile back. The opening is still a ways off, with Uncle Bob’s Place not set to be complete for another two years. Yeah, I highly doubt also that romaji karaoke is found anywhere.
Uncle Bob’s Place will have 126 affordable housing units and ground floor commercial space. The new building that will house Bush Garden-Uncle Bob’s Place-is named after him and owned by the nonprofit he started 50 years ago, Interim CDA. She and her husband Steven, a dentist in Federal Way, are planning to open a karaoke box in the traditional Japanese style, as she described it, with 12 private boxes ranging from small (four to six guests), to medium (eight to ten), to large (12 to 14). Rock Box co-owner Mindy Dodobara cleared up any confusion. Bush Garden was a beloved haunt of Chinatown-International District activist and icon “Uncle” Bob Santos, who died in 2016. UPDATE: And the answer is: private karaoke studios with a bar. It’s also one of the Chinatown-International District’s oldest restaurants. Bush Garden was the first restaurant in the country to have a karaoke bar, and over the decades it became a Seattle institution.
But here’s a welcome update: the Chinatown-International District Japanese restaurant Bush Garden, which is closing to make way for a new development, will be resurrected inside a building coming to the current Four Seas Restaurant and Bar site. It’s not every day that a Seattle redevelopment story comes with good news for neighborhood restaurants.
