"Located at 311 West Sixth since 2005, this long-running sushi lounge faces closure or relocation after city approval of plans to build the BBVA Tower, which will become Austin’s second-tallest building. The brick building that houses the restaurant dates to 1927 and has been altered over the years, making it ineligible for protection by the Texas Historical Commission. Initial timelines had demolition beginning toward the end of this year, but the restaurant posted on Facebook that demolition won’t occur until “at least next year.” There is no public word yet on the lounge’s future plans." - Erin Russell
