Downtown Sushi Spot to Replace the Shuttered Tiger!Tiger! in North Park | Eater San Diego

"After more than 20 years in downtown San Diego, Sushi 2 is packing up and moving to North Park, with owner Kuniko Holmes taking over the space that formerly housed beloved Tiger!Tiger! Tavern and an opening currently slated for Spring/Summer 2022. Tucked next to the Spreckels Theatre on Broadway, the enduringly popular lunch spot struggled when nearly all their customers shifted to working from home—"that part of our operation has not gotten back to anywhere near where it was pre-pandemic (with offices closing and many employees still working remotely)," Sushi 2 posted on Instagram—and with downtown nightlife and tourism still slow the move is meant to bring new momentum. Originally part of the Sushi Deli family, the downtown location was sold to Holmes ten years ago; she kept many menu favorites but also added a selection of craft beer, new appetizers like popcorn Brussels sprouts, and a large range of vegan sushi." - Kelly Bone
