Move and name change in the works for Shinju Sushi

Filed Under: Openings

Thanks to the Meal Ticket tipster that put us on to this one: Shinju Sushi, the popular neighborhood BYO at 930 Locust, is in the process of moving a few blocks to the northeast to 719 Walnut, the former home of Aso Sushi, which closed in July. This new space is nearly three times the size of their current digs, and the move'll coincide with a name change � Shinju will soon be known as The Fat Salmon. This'll all go down seamlessly in the month of November, a staffer tells Meal Ticket; The Fat Salmon will also be BYOB, and they'll keep the same menu (with a few additions). Oh, and if you're fond of the sushi-themed movie posters that decorate Shinju, rest easy: They're working on an entirely new series for the move.

Oh man, Shinju is my absolute favorite sushi place in the city-- mainly because it is just so adorable.  I'm excited to see the new place and the new sushi posters. The new name is cute too!

What are they doing with the old posters?  I would totally buy some!

[...] Ticket reader JC spotted this sign on the door at Shinju (930 Locust St.). It’s an update to the October news that the sushi spot would be moving over to Walnut and changing its name to Fat Salmon. [...]
