The building that once housed Tomo Hibachi in Huntington village is undergoing renovations.

Workers have been spotted at the 286 Main St. building over the past few weeks, and an amended building permit has been filed with the Huntington Building Department.

A previous permit was filed with the town earlier this year by Michael Cheng, who owned Tomo, planned to remodel and open it under a different name, but ultimately closed the business and sold his lease in August.

However, after town officials returned a FOIL request last week, Long Islander News learned that an amended permit was issued on Nov. 9.

The permit details a new restaurant, “Hatch,” and allows for changes to the windows, HVAC system and interior walls of the building, which is owned by Michael Aboff.
