Three restaurants in Toronto suddenly shut down due to reasons beyond their control
Three restaurants in Toronto, which were located on the same block on Queen Street West, have all recently closed their doors due to "reasons beyond their control."
Next-door neighbours Aji Sai (467 Queen St. W.), Oishi Tea (467 Queen St. W.), and T.O's Kathi Roll Eatery (465 Queen St. W.) all suddenly closed their doors this year to the dismay of loyal customers.
Oishi Tea officially closed its doors on June 1, and revealed in a statement on Instagram that the bubble tea shop was closing due to circumstances beyond their control, namely the sale of the property, which prevented them from continuing regular operations.
The bubble tea chain still has multiple locations in Brampton and Oakville.
T.O.'s Kathi Roll Eatery, which is known for its Indian fusion street eats, told blogTO that the business had a short-term lease that expired.
Staff noted that the restaurant's Queen Street location was takeout only with no seating, and the business will be shifting from this model to fast casual with dining options.
T.O.'s Kathi Roll Eatery still boasts multiple locations in Brampton, Burlington, Vaughan, Guelph, Scarborough, and Mississauga, and confirmed to blogTO that the business is in the middle of finalizing a new lease on Queen Street West as well as in Midtown.
blogTO reached out to Aji Sai, which also boasts multiple locations throughout the GTA, for comment on its closure on Queen Street West but did not receive a response in time for this article's publication.
