Wu Chow co-founder and former Sushi|Bar chef opening tiny sushi restaurant in East Austin

https://www.statesman.com/story/ente...ve/6915461001/

Joining a growing number of intimate sushi experiences that have sprung to life in Austin over the last several years, tiny omakase restaurant Toshokan (toshokanatx.com) will open its doors for service March 2.

Well, the doors might not actually swing open. You’ll have to find them first. The six-seat sushi counter is discreetly hidden in one of the former rooms at East Austin’s Native (807 E. Fourth St.), a hiply styled former hostel that since the pandemic began has served as a bar, café and home to several small local businesses (Black Fret, Eastend Tattoos) that have set up shop in the former bedrooms.

C.K. Chin, a co-founder of downtown restaurants Swift’s Attic and Wu Chow who has since left his operational role with those businesses to work as a partner at Native, created the concept with executive chef and partner Saine Wong, whom Chin met during Wong’s short stint at Los Angeles import Sushi|Bar in East Austin.

Nice. I'd like to see Springdale Rd. develop more. It has immense potential.

I am not a fan of the Springdale Apartments because it butts up to Austin's oldest African American Cemetery where many slaves are buried in unmarked graves dating back to 1835. The records of the burial plots were lost in a fire so there is no telling if there are graves where the development will be digging.

Of course there’s telling. Ground penetrating radar.

Which they’ve done.

Having done that due diligence, the chances of finding an unmarked grave here are probably _less_ than any random development (where it’s non-zero)

Any clue what this will look like or when they hope to break ground?

City Council gave final approval Thursday for zoning to allow construction of a huge development, including a new brewery and 275-foot-tall building at 6705 and 6501 Regiene Road on the city’s east side. The plan for the 16-acre site includes 1 million square feet of office, retail and restaurant space, artist workshops and up to 742 apartments. The developer, Daryl Kunik, has promised that 10 percent of the rental units will be affordable for families earning 60 percent of the median family income.

There is no site plan so it's going to be at least a year before ground is broken. I would guess 1.5-2 years. Timeline depends like always on the engineer's ability to make revisions based on city notes.

I wish someone would purchase a whole bunch of Coronado Hills/St. Johns and redevelop it. That whole area has so much potential.

I wouldn't be surprised to see these tiny projects go for $1200/monthly.

I mean, lovely buildings and all. But those names are barforama.
