After 35 years in the Inner Sunset, You See Sushi closed earlier this month at 6th Avenue and Judah Street after its owners announced their retirement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were able to make friends and memories that we couldn\u2019t even imagine when we first immigrated here,\u201d the owners Ikuko Miura and Paul wrote on a notice on the door. \u201cWe hope that we were able to contribute to your life in some shape or form.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The small mom-and-pop restaurant used to be named We Be Sushi, although it was unclear if it\u2019s related to the We Be Sushi locations in the Mission<\/a>. It changed its name to You See, likely because it was just blocks away from the \u201cUC\u201d Parnassus campus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On a recent Wednesday, the blinds were drawn in the small space and the restaurant\u2019s green sign, with drawings of fish with large fins, was faded after years facing the elements.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Okay, brace yourself. Another long-time Inner Sunset restaurant closed this month.<\/p>\n

Yumma\u2019s, a Mediterranean restaurant on Irving Street near 8th Avenue, closed its doors after nearly 30 years. Its last day of service was March 15. Elisa Dabis, who\u2019s part of the owner\u2019s family, said on Facebook that the owner, 74, decided to retire.<\/p>\n

Yumma\u2019s \u2014 meaning mother in Arabic \u2014 opened in 1998 at 721 Irving St. and was named after the owners\u2019 mom, who died in the early 2000s. <\/p>\n

\u201cEvery recipe we have shared with you came from her kitchen and her heart,\u201d the owner wrote. \u201cBeing able to bring her food into your homes has been one of the greatest joys of our lives.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sunset Roasters<\/a>, a coffee truck and roastery that usually parked in front of the Botanical Garden near 9th Avenue, moved to a new home in the Outer Sunset in March.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The truck served coffee in Golden Gate Park for almost two years. Its new location, at 45th Avenue and Judah Street, is in front of a shuttered laundromat that closed in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The owners, Philip and Sara Roliz, started Sunset Roasters from their home in the Sunset back in 2018. The coffee truck has been a regular presence at the Outer Sunset Farmers Market on Sundays, and the owners say that they \u201clove having our regular neighbors visit us at our new location.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"AA notice of violation from the Department of Building Inspection was taped on the door at LaLe\u2019s space in January 2026. Photo by Junyao Yang.<\/p>\n

After LaLe<\/a>, a Turkish restaurant, closed on Irving Street last November, construction on the space started almost right away. But in January, it came to a halt and a notice of violation from the city\u2019s Department of Building Inspection was taped on the door. \u201cA complaint investigation revealed that tenant improvements were occurring without the benefit of a permit,\u201d the notice read.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In mid-March, another notice from the Public Works Department appeared, covering the previous notice of violation, citing that the parklet in front of the business is operating without a valid permit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to business filings in March, a new restaurant named Istanbul Kebab & Gyros will open at the vacant space. But no new building permits have been submitted at the location.<\/p>\n

Starting in April, the Inner Sunset Flea Market is returning for its 11th year. The market runs through November on the second Sunday of the month on Irving Street between 9th and 11th avenues. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., it will feature vintage and second-hand vendors, local artists and markers, live music and free family-friendly activities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first market of the year is April 12.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Event<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been almost a year<\/a> since Sunset Dunes opened to the public.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the park\u2019s one-year anniversary, park advocates are putting together the first annual \u201cPloverFest<\/a>,\u201d a community music festival on April 12. It will have stages at Noriega, Rivera, Judah and Sloat, featuring local bands and DJs, as well as a kid play zone at Taraval Street.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the past year, the coastal park on the Great Highway has seen a lot: The giraffe art installation has come and gone<\/a>; it prompted the successful recall of a Sunset supervisor<\/a>, and is still playing a role<\/a> in the upcoming election. Even today, its fate is still uncertain given that a signature gathering effort is underway to put a measure to reopen the road on workdays up for another vote in November.\u00a0<\/p>\n
