The
Pittsburgh Business Times writes on Wednesday that Sushi Kim, one of only a handful of restaurants in Pittsburgh with a Korean menu,
will close after 25 years in the Strip District.
[Real estate director David Glickman] described Sushi Kim as one of the early purveyors of sushi in Pittsburgh.
“That’s a long run that they’ve had,” he said. “Not many restaurants in Pittsburgh are successful for 25 years.”
Yong Kim, the owner of the restaurant, is selling so that he can retire, said Glickman.
Sushi Kim is located at 1241 Penn Ave. on the west edge of the Strip District (

best sushi in Pittsburgh by readers of the Pittsburgh City Paper in 2003.
