"DK Lee, the owner of South Austin Japanese and Korean restaurant and karaoke spot DK Sushi, died this month, according to the restaurant’s website, which offers no further details. Lee, who was originally from South Korea, moved to Austin in the mid-1970s and opened the first DK Sushi on South First Street in 1991. He followed that with the Brentwood location on North Lamar Boulevard in 2009. DK Sushi is known for hosting raucous karaoke nights where Lee would make raunchy jokes, lead sake bomb-drinking cheers, and hit a gong to play off poor singers." - Erin Russell
