“Dear PoPville,
Is Sushi Para permanently closed here in Van Ness?”
Welp, it’s not looking good. A call to the restaurant rings and rings without going to voicemail. Yelp and google list them as permanently closed:
And their website linked from their DC Facebook only lists two locations in Chicago.
Sushi Para opened in Van Ness back in January 2012 and put lots and lots of sushi in our bellies. If permanent as it seems they will indeed be missed.
Now bring back Taco Bell you cowards!!
