We Be Sushi’s original location at Valencia and 22nd streets has closed after 36 years of operation. Its last day was Feb. 29.

The restaurant’s last day was Feb. 29, according to owner and chef Andy Tonozuka. The reasons are “mainly the slow business, and another one is I’m 74 now, and I got sciatic nerve pain,” he said.

The price is negotiable, he added. If “nobody buys it, I may ask somebody in my restaurant at the 16th location to” look after the 22nd St. location.” in 1987, the restaurant was briefly embroiled in a legal battle with McDonald’s until the owners rebranded it shortly afterwards. Tonozuka chose “We Be Sushi” out of 200 names suggested by the community.

“There used to be a lot of families living here, and a lot of them came over with kids and, also, pregnant women,” he said. “So I call them We Be Babies.”
