After more than four decades in Downtown San Pedro, Senfuku Japanese Restaurant has closed its doors. 🍣
Opened under Chef Yoshi and Helen Kikuchi in the early 1980s, Senfuku became a beloved local restaurant known for its sushi, family atmosphere, and generations of loyal customers.
In the October issue of San Pedro Today, Sanam Lamborn looks back at the Kikuchi family’s story, Senfuku’s place in the community, and the memories left behind as the family begins a new chapter.

Since January, they’ve collected about 2.25 tons of debris. But pulling it out of the water is just the beginning of where this trash ends up.
