This Week In Food: Say Bye to We Be Sushi
"Maria Isabel opens in Presidio Heights, at 500 Presidio Avenue, from the couple behind Dalida in the Presidio. The restaurant is a celebration of chef Laura Ozyilmaz's Mexican heritage, both her mother's side from Guerrero and her father's from Sinaloa, with plenty of modern California style thrown in."
"JouJou, the new French brasserie concept from the Lazy Bear team of chef David Barzelay and Colleen Booth debuts Friday, March 6. It's set to be a stylish affair with plenty of old-school and new-school French touches, and a bar area that hopes to become a bustling evening scene."
"The ever-popular, 30-year-old We Be Sushi has closed as of earlier this month. Chef-owner Andy Tonozuka, 76 years old, said 'I felt so much relief once I decided to retire.'"
San Francisco's dining landscape undergoes notable transitions as spring approaches. Maria Isabel debuts March 3 in Presidio Heights, celebrating chef Laura Ozyilmaz's Mexican heritage from Guerrero and Sinaloa with California influences. JouJou, a French brasserie from Lazy Bear's team, opens March 6 with classic and contemporary French elements and an ambitious bar program. Meanwhile, We Be Sushi closes after three decades, with 76-year-old chef-owner Andy Tonozuka retiring. The Slanted Door Group continues planning the reopening of the original Valencia Street location, now projected for early 2027, over a year after chef-founder Charles Phan's death. Additionally, Cafe Bolita, chef Emmanuel Galvan's first brick-and-mortar venture, softly opens in the former Standard Fare space.
