Genji Sato owns Sushi Sasabune in Glendale. Because he is so busy running his business, he admitted to Today that he can't spend as much time with his family as he would like.

So, last month, he announced that he will be closing his business for a day to take his 7-year-old son to Legoland.

He posted a sign on the door and on the restaurant's social media accounts.

The message was a big hit online — racking up hundreds of thousands of likes and shares.

"Thank you for all kind comments and messages, we never thought everyone would love our sign that much," Sato wrote.

Sato also shared a video of him and his son enjoying Legoland together.
