New Sushi Restaurant Headed Downtown

A new sushi restaurant—titled Sushi ATX on public records—will soon begin construction on a downtown location at 419 W. 2nd Street.

The project will be spearheaded by Adept Hospitality, a group based in both Las Vegas and Los Angeles whose portfolio includes several original brands such as Alba’s Empanadas, Ggiata Delicatessen, and Sushi | Bar.

A recent FB 101 article detailed the group’s expansion of its Austin Sushi | Bar location which provided “increased seating by opening a second 10 seat intimate omakase room to complement their existing room. This additional room will have three seatings per night, allowing an additional 30 guests per evening to enjoy the coveted experience.”

“The expansion is a response to the increased demand, and a desire to keep guests’ needs a top priority while the popularity of the omakase-style concept continues to grow since its opening just over two years ago,” the report stated.

“When we learned that Bento Picnic was going to be closing, we took the opportunity to negotiate the added space for Sushi | Bar Austin,” says Ryan Stock, Co-Founder of Adept Hospitality, partner Sushi | Bar Hospitality to FB 101. “The expansion was just enough to keep the intimacy of what Sushi | Bar is most celebrated for, while still being able to keep the experience exclusive.”

Project notes state that the $350,000 construction job will reach completion in July.
