A Sign That Sushi May Return to the Empty Storefront at Silver St. and Washington

A Swamplot reader sends the photo at top showing a bright yellow permit notice for something called Kubo’s Sushi and Washoku up in the window next to Tacodeli’s storefront at 1902 Washington Ave. The portion of the building now sporting the sign — designated suite C — most recently housed a different sushi restaurant dubbed Kukuri, but not for long: It closed last March after just over 6 months in business.

The new Kubo’s sushi spot is backed by the same team behind former Japanese restaurant Kubo’s Sushi Bar & Grill, which closed its second-story spot in the former Rice Village building between Kelvin and Morningside drives in 2016 after about a decade and a half in business.

The news is outdated. Eater Houston wrote a news piece on Kubo’s comeback to the loop in September. A Google search first would’ve showed this.

Frankly, I’m surprised Kubo’s lasted as long as it did in the Village after its sushi chef left to open Kata Robata at Richmond and Kirby: https://www.katarobata.com/about/
.
A significant number of Kubo’s customers followed the chef to his new restaurant, which will celebrate 10 years this year.
