Kotobukiya Sushi @ Porter Exchange

[haptotrope.livejournal.com]

Ok, so since it was a huge question, I went and had some sushi, and asked them what the deal was, and told them that the internet was sad that the Japanese groc. store in the Porter Exchange was leaving.

So, the verdict is that the Sushi bar will be staying, and has a lease in place for the next 3 years or so... and that if they go, the whole asian mall complex food alley will go elsewhere. They were happy that they were staying but sad that the store was getting pushed out, and then we discussed how the citi-bank location doesn't deserve to be there, or have any customers, and the bookstore should expand there... or that the groc should move there... or something.

But yay sushi!

It was never in doubt the sushi place was staying ...

same owners... so it was a possibility if they got the lease at the same time.

I think the fact that the store and the restaurant had separate leases was revealed at pretty much exactly the same time that the news about the store closing became news.

"Owners of the other stores, including Kotobukiya’s sushi bar, told the Chronicle they still have leases and plan to stay".

That sucks. I love that grocery, but I don't like sushi so the sushi place stayig is no consolation. If the grocery moves I hope it's somewhere close.

I think it was medford... so not that close.

the sushi place has a lease for 3 more years...but the japanese grocer is moving out to medford, i think. There is a story link in the other comments for more details.
