"A Japanese pop-up transitioning into a permanent restaurant in Richardson on Terrace Drive, operated by Gene Tran and Michelle Pepping. Developed about a year before the pandemic and launched last year, the concept quickly built a cult following by selling out nearly every day; its menu was typically posted online the day of sale. Fans praise its ultra-cute, Instagram-friendly bento boxes and crowd-pleasing dishes such as omurice and Japanese curry. The permanent location is expected to open this fall." - Brittanie Shey
