Jason Cao, owner and operator of the popular Daimaru Steakhouse in Salina, said a number of his customers who regularly drive from Hutchinson to Salina convinced him to look at Hutchinson for expansion. Jason came to the U.S. from Japan as a child. When he was young, his parents operated a restaurant and later helped him unveil his first own restaurant in Provo, Utah. He then opened the Daimaru Steakhouse after moving to Salina in 1999, later expanding his horizons by opening a second one in Topeka in 2007. Now he proudly presents Mr. Cao Japanese Steakhouse, located in Hutchinson, Kansas, to serve as another true display of Japanese style cuisine prepared with only the freshest ingredients.
