Apparently they could not get the proper permits to seat people in the back of the restaurant and/or did not receive a liquor license. Somebody please do something to change their mind.

Actually, if I were Pine Tree, I would minimize my losses and move on.
I think I would make that back area into fine cheeses, salad by the lb, and/or bakery breads.
All are pretty high profit, and would work with the rest of the store.
For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor. -
just sushi?! Or any food? I never got my bibimbop!!!!

I predict the actual fail on thier part was seating in the backyard ...so may have decided against sushi because it will no longer be profitable without the sit down revenue.

Did they ever sell sushi? I have never actually seen any sushi available. Including at prime hours, like 2pm on a Saturday.

This is horrible! The sushi was so delicious, and well priced. So much better than Sushi Tatsu, and less expensive than Gen. And very convenient to pick up on the way home. I hope they will consider selling the sushi in a prepared food section, or something of the sort.

THIS RUMOR IS NOT TRUE. We went there over the weekend and they are VERY MUCH still serving sushi (and bibimbap). The guy was speechless when I asked him, had NO idea what I was talking about, and frankly I felt a little silly asking him in front of his fully stocked sushi bar.
So, yes, they have sushi, looks good, they start delivery sometime next week.

Maybe people are confused because they are looking in the refrigerated cases for sushi. Maybe they dont realize you have to go to the back and actually order it.
Glad to hear Pine Tree is still serving it up. Their sushi is really good and I think its better than Sakura Tokyo on Nostrand (and honestly anyone can make better sushi than Sushi Tatsu- all their food is horrible).

BUT what mistaken information was the rumor based on?
Did you read this somewhere else?

Yea, I guess so. But it's not like he didn't know what I was talking about. He asked where I heard this and I told him here. He really wanted me to come on here and let everyone know it wasn't true. Sushi bar stocked, guy behind counter making sushi. He also emphasized the delivery as well.
Maybe they're not allowed to run it as a restaurant but still allowed to serve it/ deliver it.
