The Palace Hotel’s Kyo-Ya, which was considered the city’s top sushi spot back in the nineties, will be closing its doors next month. A source told the Scoop that the restaurant is just too expensive to run in this day and age. Kyo-Ya will be offering lunch and dinner through September 21, and the space is currently on the market. Yelper Nemo O. muses about Kyo-Ya’s owners’ vision: “Some Japanese people decided to start a good restaurant in the States that would fit into the local area while remaining authentic to Japanese culinary and aesthetic demands.” [Scoop]
