DK Sushi & Seoul Korean Restaurant

Austin Restaurant DK Sushi Owner DK Lee Has Died | Eater Austin

"A South Austin Japanese and Korean restaurant and karaoke spot, the South First Street location of DK Sushi was opened in 1991 by DK Lee, who moved to Austin from South Korea in the mid-1970s. I remember its raucous Monday-night karaoke, where Lee would make raunchy jokes, lead sake-bomb cheers and hit a gong to play off poor singers; that disco-style karaoke scene has been called a “must” for visitors by local music organizer James Moody. The restaurant’s website reported Lee’s death this month and notes that the south location remains open, with the family promising to “continue his legacy.” Lee is survived by his wife, Anna, and three children." - Erin Russell
