2401 Cedar Springs Rd., Suite 120
East meets West in this steakhouse that brings together South Korean and Texas food, with just a dash of New Orleans thrown in, all to reflect owner and Smoothie King magnate Wan Kim’s life story. Check out our Inside the Dishes for a look at what is on the menu.
5463 Beltline Rd.
Looking for house-made pasta, Allen Brothers steaks, and fresh seafood? James Beard recognized chef Omar Flores kinda surprised DFW by announcing he was opening Even Coast in Addison on the day the doors flung open, but it’s nothing but a boon for us to have his work back in a kitchen here. It is open for lunch and dinner.

7859 Walnut Hill Ln., Suite 170
There’s some buzz around this Turkish/Mediterranean fusion restaurant in the nondescript shopping center by Trader Joe’s on Walnut Hill. The light and airy decor is inviting, while the menu features intriguing dishes like beetroot hummus, pacanga borek (Phyllo rolls stuffed with Turkish beef pastrami and kasseri cheese), and zirh kimya adana (hand-ground lamb seasoned with Turkish spices, onion, piyaz, and grilled tomato).
302 N. Market Street
The West End’s most prolific restaurateur, Jay Khan, opens his sixth restaurant in the neighborhood with this barbecue spot that is inspired by his wife’s family (they are the Moaks). Word is, Khan already has his seventh and eighth places plotted out.

3015 Gulden Ln., Suite #105
Speaking of barbecue, a
101 S Coit Rd. #50 in Richardson
This cute spot in the Cottonwood Market Antique Mall gets a rebrand from the catering truck Saucy Savories that’s been around for a few years, CultureMap Dallas reports. Shop for antique and vintage finds and pop in for a seat and a plate of chickpea Caesar salad or a pulled pork sandwich with chimichurri.
2301 N. Akard St.
Sushi lovers have a new spot to stop in Uptown. The interiors are maximalist to the max and the plates feature sushi and pan-Asian fare. Head in for a business lunch or a date night dinner.

7709 Inwood Rd.
Hey, did you like Dea over off Lovers Lane in West Dallas? It’s now called Perch Bistro. More or less the same-ish menu, reboot on the decor to take it down a notch (er, make things more approachable).
1321 Commerce St.
This spot made it’s pop-up in the Adolphus a full-time commitment. The two have hitched their wagons to each other for the foreseeable future, as Dallas’s love affair with omakase services rolls on. Interesting call.
