Kingyo Sushi shutters

A tipster passes along word that Kingyo (1720 Sansom St.), the sushi spot formerly known as Genji, is down for the count. It's been dark since late July. The space's landlord tells Meal Ticket that he doesn't have a new tenant lined up as of yet.

Rumor has it rent was mad high (not surprising) and the street just doesn't get enough foot traffic to support something at that price point. Damn shame, Genji had excellent sushi and I imagine Kingyo did as well.
