Same Fresh Beats, New Location Sushi Noise for Austin, Texas -- http://www.austinsushi.com/forum ========================================================== 1. Two New Sushi Bars! That's right kids. Two new sushi bars have opened, Sushi Niichi and Dragon Gate (thanks to Ed for the tip). Both are relatively small, but nicely appointed, sushi bars. Sushi Niichi is the University area's first real sushi bar** and it's located right next to our favorite bubble tea and Sanrio outlet, Momoko. Dragon Gate, located in Westlake next to Breed and Company, has a sushi bar, a comprehensive menu of Chinese food, and even a couple of Teppanyaki tables (** The now defunct Banzai wasn't really a sushi bar, though they served sushi) Sushi Niichi 705A W. 24th Street (next to Momoko) (512) 469-7424 Dragon Gate 3663 Bee Caves Road (next to Breed and Company) (512) 328-6776 ========================================================== 2.
