The City of Quincy Board of License Commissioners on Dec. 9 approved a request from Quincy Sky Inc., doing business as Omari Izakaya & Sushi, to transfer stock interest among existing shareholders and to designate Chang Jing Zhao as the proposed manager for the restaurant at 11 Foster Street.
Attorney Kaiya Wong, representing the applicant, told the board the transaction shifts ownership among current shareholders and does not bring in any new people or change day‑to‑day operations. "Basically, we are transferring stuff from one existing shareholder to the other three existing shareholders, so there's no new person involved in this operation," Wong said.
Wong said Zhao is a U.S. citizen and Massachusetts resident with more than 10 years of experience in the restaurant business and that he currently works as a general manager at an Omari restaurant. The applicant described the premises as a street‑level, approximately 2,000‑square‑foot restaurant that includes a sushi bar.
A board member moved to approve the change of stock interest and the appointment of Chang Jing Zhao as proposed manager; another board member seconded the motion and members responded with voice votes in favor. The board chair indicated the approval was complete and the applicant was thanked at the conclusion of the item.
The approval applies to the establishment's all‑alcohol restaurant license. No conditions or operational changes were reported on the record; the attorney emphasized compliance with Massachusetts Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission (ABCC) rules and city licensing requirements.
