Donguri bites the dust

The NYTimes' Florence Fabricant reports:

The last day for Donguri, 309 East 83rd Street, will be Saturday. The owner, Shuji Fujita, who did most of the cooking, needs back surgery, said his wife, Michiko Fujita. The owners of Kai on Madison Avenue have bought it, she said.

I heard great things about Donguri.  Congratulations to the lucky few who have nabbed the last reservations.
