The hiragana lettering on the front reads "itaniki" or いたにき. Literally, this means "it was coming", or "come to the". The side lettering reads "masu" or ます, in English "trout" - fits well for a sushi shop, doesn't it? Spliced together, "Trout was coming" makes little sense, so when applied to modern English, it can best be translated as "Coming Trout" (possibly because of jumping trout in lakes and rivers, making them easy to spot), or "Come to the Trout", an invitation for customers to enter the restaurant.
