Ichiro’s closing post: https://www.facebook.com/ichirosrestaurant/posts/3850517755007433

Thanks Sage! I updated my post! I can always count on all the "Friends of Yoso" to come thru.

sad when a long time establishment closes

Sandy

Years ago, Ichiro's was the first "real" sushi visit where we sat at the bar. It was the first time I had toro, and was hooked. I don't think we ever went back, and I'm sorry to hear that they have closed.

Jack

Wow, Ichiro is old school Japanese for the San Diego area, probably one of the first asian restaurants in the Convoy area. I remember in college or just out of college, it was too expensive to go to regularly and had to go to the inexpensive udon/curry place (wish I could remember the name) that used to be in the O'briens strip mall. Great run but always a bummer to see a family restaurant closing, especially not on their terms.

Junichi

Shirahama Sushi just sold. Not sure when their last day is. Owner wanted to sell and retire for a while.

Soo

What a sad news day.

Jason

That's too bad, never been to either but unfortunately it's a sign of the times.

Kirk

Really sad Kat!

Like the end of an era Sandy.

One of the first places I ate at back in the 90's when I was doing consulting here Jack.

I had heard that Junichi. BTW, I have an interesting "story" about Shirahama for you....one of these days.

Very sad Soo.

Definitely a sign of the times Jason.

Cathy

Hippo's was the name of the curry place. We will miss Ichiro's as well as so many other local places.

Kirk

Seems like a lot of these older mom-and-pop type places are closing Cathy. I'm sure that the owners are tired and just want to retire.

The place Jack is thinking of was Otemoyan. First went there in 1984 and it was run by three women.
