Sushi Junai Omakase

Japanese Restaurant Sushi Junai Omakase Opens in Downtown Austin | Eater Austin

"I found a new Japanese restaurant focused on omakase has opened in downtown Austin at 315 Congress Avenue, Suite 100: Sushi Junai Omakase, from the local Sushi Junai team, which took over the vacant space previously occupied by Counter 3.Five.VII and opened in early October. Based on the name and the Yelp description, it serves a 24-course omakase—essentially a sushi tasting menu centered on freshly sourced fish—for dinner at $150, while lunch is offered a la carte; hours are 11:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m. for lunch and 5–10 p.m. for dinner. The focus on an extended tasting menu can be read as a nod to the space’s predecessor, and the restaurant sits in the same building as Swift’s Attic and the jazz bar Elephant Room, with Ways & Means Oyster House expected to open next door in late fall." - Nadia Chaudhury
