"Hamburger Project also was not "getting the traction needed at that location." Still, the second closure of a restaurant at 598 Guerrero in less than a year, and the sidewalk meat incident, just adds to the pall that has hung over this space for decades."
"Apart from the solid eight-year run of Izakaya Yuzuki (2011-2019), the space has seen a high number of quick restaurant closures. There was the sadly short-lived AL's Deli from chef Aaron London, which debuted in mid-2019 and shut its doors a week before pandemic lockdowns began."
"A restaurant called Ebb & Flow lasted a mere six months in the space in 2010. And two other short-lived concepts tried to make a go of it there in the aughts, Craig's Place in 2007/08, and Central American restaurant Platanos from 2003 to 2006."
The Mission District's 598 Guerrero Street location has closed again, this time with Hamburger Project shuttering approximately one month after a viral social media incident involving improperly stored ground beef left on a sidewalk. Co-owner Tan Truong attributed the closure to insufficient business traction at the location. This marks the second restaurant closure at this address in under a year, following Handroll Project's closure the previous summer. The space has a documented history of failed restaurants spanning decades, including Izakaya Yuzuki's eight-year run from 2011-2019, AL's Deli, Ebb & Flow, Craig's Place, and Platanos. The location appears cursed by consistently short-lived restaurant ventures.
