After turning their destructive forces on Venice, are rising rents next going to threaten the sanctity of The San Gabriel Valley and its incredible cheap eats scene? Tokyo Lobby, a time-tested hub for local families craving ginormous servings of sushi from fake boats, is closing its San Gabriel store this Sunday, with a staff member telling Alhambra Source it will reach “total shut down” with no intent to resurface. A lack of customers is cited in the face of 168 Market opening next door and hogging all the parking, with a rumored rent increase to an annual $60,000 giving the restaurant additional reason to scatter.
