DONE DEAL ANNOUNCEMENT - Al's Deli

Patrick Totah and Restaurant Realty recently completed the sale of the restaurant formerly known as Yuzuki, on the corner of 18^thand Guererro in San Francisco.  The new owner of the location is Aaron London, chef and owner of the nearby AL’s Place, who plans to institute a casual deli in the space.

This transaction represents the transition from one era of delicious food in a prime location to the beginning of another.  

The chef of Yuzuki, Yuko Hayashi, was a Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient, known for her outstanding offerings such as home-made tofu and tempura-fried lotus root.  Yuzuki was a beloved Japanese restaurant in San Francisco for more than eight years, and we wish Yuko well as she moves on to her next endeavors.

And we trust that Aaron London’s acquisition of this location will yield a whole new crop of awesome food offerings.  Aaron rose to fame at Ubuntu, a Michelin-starred vegetarian restaurant in Napa (now closed), and continued to showcase his talents at the omnivorous AL’s Place.  

Aaron plans to open an East Coast-inspired deli in his new establishment, and while he’s keeping the specific details under wraps for the time being, we’re pretty sure this will make an excellent addition to all of the justifiably popular eating establishments already in place in the 18^th Street corridor.
