Having previously owned the popular Sushi Jimmi Asian Fusion restaurant on Poplar Ave, which closed in 2019 due to burnout, Sinh expresses excitement about returning to the brick-and-mortar scene. Reflecting on his hiatus, he told Memphis Flyer, “It’s been a few years and I just feel more comfortable now, looking back.”
The forthcoming establishment follows Sinh’s successful venture, Poke Paradise, a food trailer and kitchen/pick-up center, which will soon be on the market for sale along with all related equipment. Sinh encourages potential buyers to reach out and discuss opportunities.
With a commitment to innovation and a desire to contribute positively to the Memphis dining scene, Sinh is ready to unveil a concept that he believes the city sorely needs. As he gears up for this new chapter, Sinh is eager to prioritize the restaurant, announcing that May 2024 will mark the conclusion of his catering and private dinner services.
As the culinary maestro prepares to re-enter the kitchen, fans and food enthusiasts alike are eagerly anticipating the grand reveal of Sushi Jimmi’s latest endeavor in Cordova next summer.
