New Sushi

Addison restaurant Nyla Sushi takes seafood creativity off the hook

Addison Circle, the cute urban village off the Tollway, gets its sushi back with the opening of Nyla Sushi, a restaurant that opened in December 2016. Nyla is in the space that used to be Kampai, which closed in 2016 after being there for more than a decade.

Kampai had its following, but Nyla steps it up with creative fusion dishes, says owner Dennis Fontana.

"We try to be the frontrunner on creativity," he says. "A lot of sushi places stick to basics, but we pride ourselves on our creativity. Our chefs love to use their skills and do special custom items. And that's the feedback we get from our customers. We try to make it be a personalized experience."

One example: the so-called fish and chips, which consists of four crispy rice cake discs that are topped with raw tuna and drizzled with ponzu sauce. There are bento boxes and signature rolls, such as the Thai fire roll with tuna and crab salad. There are ceviches and crab cakes with pineapple-mango salsa. And there is blue crab fried rice, with a blue crab bechamel.

Nyla offers cocktails and unique specialty martinis, and on weekends, it keeps late hours, staying open until 2 am from Thursday-Saturday.

Fontana previously worked with the Piranha Sushi chain owned by Kenzo Tran. He owns the Piranha Sushi location in Flower Mound, which he's changing over to Nyla, as well. And he has more expansion in the works, including Frisco, whose location he'll finalize later this month.

But Addison was a priority. "I love that area, it's just so lively with restaurants," he says.

The name Nyla reflects Fontana's personal history as well as the global focus of the restaurant. "NY is New York, I'm from New York," Fontana says. "LA is Los Angeles. 'From New York to Los Angeles' is what it means."

Fontana previously worked with the Piranha Sushi chain owned by Kenzo Tran. He owns the Piranha Sushi location in Flower Mound, which he's changing over to Nyla, as well. And he has more expansion in the works, including Frisco, whose location he'll finalize later this month.

But Addison was a priority. "I love that area, it's just so lively with restaurants," he says.

The name Nyla reflects Fontana's personal history as well as the focus of the restaurant.

"NY is New York, I'm from New York," Fontana says. "LA is Los Angeles. "'From New York to Los Angeles' is what it means."

Addison Circle, the cute urban village off the Tollway, gets its sushi back with the opening of Nyla Sushi, a restaurant that opened in December 2016. Nyla is in the space that used to be ;Kampai, which closed in 2016 after being there for more than a decade.

Kampai had its following, but Nyla steps it up with creative fusion dishes, says owner Dennis Fontana.

"We try to be the frontrunner on creativity," he says. "A lot of sushi places stick to basics, but we pride ourselves on our creativity. Our chefs love to use their skills and do special custom items. And that's the feedback we get from our customers. We try to make it be a personalized experience."

One example: their so-called fish and chips, which consists of four crispy rice cake discs that are topped with raw tuna and drizzled with ponzu sauce. There are bento boxes, and signature rolls such as the Thai fire roll with tuna and crab salad. There are ceviches and crab cakes with pineapple-mango salsa. And there is blue crab fried rice, with a blue crab bechamel.

They have cocktails and unique specialty martinis, and on weekends, they keep late hours, staying open until 2 am from Thursday-Saturday.

The Gem juice bar shakes into Uptown Dallas, complete with disco ball

The Gem Juice Bar is now open in Uptown Dallas.

An organic juice bar with a disco ball and a following in Dallas has opened a third location, this one in Uptown: The Gem Organic Food and Juice Bar is now serving juices, smoothies, and fresh food at Rosewood Court, 2101 Cedar Springs Rd., R115, next to Flower Child.

Co-owned by Leslie Needleman and Mary Kathryn Bass, The Gem first opened near Lovers Lane and Inwood before moving into its first dedicated space in Preston Center on Luther Lane in 2013. A second location at Forest Lane and Preston Road followed in 2015.

“We call this new location our 'Hidden Gem; Uptown customers had been asking for a closer shop for years,” Needleman says. “The area also brings steady office and hotel traffic, and for years, we've wanted to bring The Gem lifestyle into new parts of Dallas.”

The self-described “disco soul sisters” built the business around organic food and juice, with a colorful, upbeat atmosphere to match. Their interest in wellness has personal roots. In 2009, Needleman was diagnosed with breast cancer. During her recovery, she explored organic juice, clean food, and a plant-based, anti-inflammatory diet. Bass shared her interest in a wellness-focused lifestyle centered on mind, body, and spirit.

That philosophy informs the menu, which has featured ingredients such as maca, housemade cashew milk, and kale since the business launched in 2012. The juice is organic, cold-pressed fresh daily, and is not treated with high-pressure processing, or HPP, a method commonly used to extend shelf life.

“Gem juice lasts days, not weeks, because we refuse to trade fresh flavor, nutrients, and enzymes for a longer shelf life,” Bass says.

The menu is free of refined sugars, gluten, dairy, artificial ingredients, seed oils, and GMOs. Bestsellers include the Green Glow, made with kale, cucumber, lemon, apple, and ginger; the Golden Glow, a blend of turmeric, lemon, orange, ginger, and cardamom; and the Ruby Slipper, made with beet, ginger, and carrot. The Green Glow was the shop's first recipe and remains a favorite.

Other offerings include French press coffee, cold brew, matcha, smoothies, and protein drinks. Fresh food prepared daily includes soups such as lentil, mushroom vegetable purée, and immunity bone broth; along with salads, hummus, protein bars, and chocolate mousse made with raw cacao, avocado, and chia seeds.

The 1,000-square-foot Uptown shop follows the same colorful formula as the other locations, with a disco ball overhead and upbeat music. There's a front counter, a refrigerated grab-and-go case for busy locals and hotel guests, and seating at individual and communal tables.

“We believe that a healthy lifestyle can be sexy and fun; every Gem has a disco ball turning overhead, walls alive with color, and a soundtrack that makes it nearly impossible not to shimmy while waiting for your smoothie,” Bass says. “Healthy living should feel joyful, vibrant, and energizing.”

The Gem Uptown is open 7:30 am-6 pm Monday-Friday and 8 am-4 pm Saturday. It's closed Sunday.
