A few months ago, Sam, Owner, Itamae, and the namesake of Sammy Sushi, mentioned that he planned to put the restaurant up for sale. After 4 years and change, Sam had decided that the 24 hours a day demands that his restaurant had put on him had started wearing away at him, both physically and mentally. I don't blame him, the restaurant industry is a tough one. And so it came to pass, a few weeks ago, Sam mentioned that he had a buyer, and the end was in sight. So it is with a heavy heart that I announce that Sammy Sushi's last night of operation will be Saturday, October 11th.
So this week will be your last chance to drop by and enjoy the nice neighborhood vibe of Sammy Sushi. It appears that Sammy Sushi is going to become a Fresh Seafood Market.
Over the years Sam has become much more than my friendly neighborhood Itamae, he's become a friend. And as sad as I am knowing that Sammy's will be gone, I have great hopes for Sam's future endeavors.
Good Luck Sam!

Hey Kirk:
Enjoy your blog; thought you might be interested, I thought I saw Sammy as sushi chef at Wal-mi-do, a Korean "hwe" and Japanese restaurant in Convoy. 4367 Convoy St.

Hi JKP - You are correct. I just spoke to Sam recently - he works 6 evenings during the week, Tuesday is his night off.
