Among San Francisco’s popular dining spots, a sushi restaurant holds a place in the hearts of locals and visitors. Serving the community since 1997, Sushi Zone has now announced its closure. Bidding goodbye to its iconic Market Street location, the restaurant is now seeking a new home.
Highlights
- The Sushi Zone Market Street location will close permanently next month.
- The landowner’s refusal to renew the lease led to this decision.
- The management is now looking for a new location to continue serving the community.
Sushi Zone to Close Market Street Location Permanently
The announcement of Sushi Zone’s Market Street location’s closure came on June 19, 2025, via social media. The post reflects the heavy hearts of the management who had to make this decision after 28 years with the community. The post also clarifies the reason behind this decision and assures everyone that this goodbye is only temporary.
The post thanks the customers for all the wonderful years that they have shared with the restaurant. Their gratitude and love are reflected in the message sent to the community, with an invitation to enjoy the last meal at this location.
Refusal to Renew Lease
The reason behind this decision is also clarified via social media. According to the post, it is the landlord’s refusal to renew the lease that led to this decision. After nearly three decades of calling this Market Street location its home and sharing countless memories, the restaurant must now move.
The post reads, “This decision comes with a heavy heart, as our landlord has decided not to renew our lease, making us leave the space we’ve called home for nearly three decades.”
Not a Goodbye, But a Pause
While it is saddening to see this local favorite close in the upcoming days, there’s also encouraging news for fans: The post continues to reveal that this closure is not permanent, as the management is actively seeking a new location. The restaurant will soon continue to serve flavorful sushi at a new location.
The post reads, “This isn’t goodbye forever — just a pause. We are actively looking for a new location to continue serving you the sushi you love. Our journey isn’t over, and we hope to reopen soon in a new space where the Sushi Zone spirit can live on.”
Share One Last Meal and One Last Memory
Finally, the restaurant invites the community to experience the delicious food at Sushi Zone for one last time at this location. After 28 years, the memories made here are uncountable and precious. And so, this is the last time for everyone to celebrate and share their stories of nostalgia at this location.
The restaurant will close on July 12, 2025, and Sushi Zone invites the community for the last meal. “Until then, please come visit us before July 12 for one last meal, one last memory, and one final thank you.”
