Sushi Restaurant, Where Woman was Fatally Stabbed, Reopens with New Name

Lake Hiawatha restaurant is also under new ownership and management.

A little more than a year after a man stabbed a woman to death inside Kazumi Sushi, the Lake Hiawatha restaurant reopened with a fresh start about two months ago.

Aloha Japan is at the same location as Kazumi Sushi on Beverwyck Road and the restaurant confirmed that it has reopened with a new name, ownership and management.

The establishment, which features online ordering and a delivery service, replaced Kazumi, which became controversial in October 2012 when Yun Fei Lin, 33 of Parsippany, was found stabbed to death in the restaurant.
