The restaurant made the following statement on its website, https://www.hurrycurryoftokyo.com:

“To our loyal customers,

“It is with great sadness that we announce the closing of Hurry Curry of Tokyo after 33 years in business. We have lost our lease and will serve our last meal at the end of February.

“We are especially proud of our many excellent employees over the years who represented us so well and prepared and served what we felt was the best curry in Los Angeles. We are also proud to have been a significant part of the development of Sawtelle Boulevard from a sleepy street near the 405 to a powerhouse of dining. It is the street L.A. goes for Asian food…

“Lastly, thank you to our customers who have supported us through the years and we certainly hope to see you all, and serve you a last few plates of curry, throughout February.
“Would you like to help out? Below is our employee Gofundme link. 100% of the donations will go towards supporting our team members: Https://Gofund.me/57021572

    Former Terminal Islander Hisayo Matsumoto, 99, now Former Terminal Islander Hisayo Matsumoto, 99, now a resident of San Antonio, Texas, keeps warm bundled up during the big Texas freeze of 2021, with no electricity and running water last week. Auntie Hisa got by with the help of a yutampo (Japanese hot water bottle). The family got a bit of a respite with the temperature rising from 10 degrees to 43 degrees (F) and all is well on the homestead, according to her daughter Grace Bennett, who noted that even though the electricity was out, the gas stove still worked and a nearby store and restaurants were open.
