    Sunny restaurant does brunch and breakfast all day at new Dallas location

    It's gonna be omelets for days in Carrollton with the opening of Sunny Street Café, an all-day breakfast restaurant opening at 2150 N. Josey Ln., just south of George Bush Turnpike, in Carrollton.

    According to a spokesperson, the restaurant will open on October 9.

    This will be the ninth location in Texas for Sunny Street Café, a small fast-casual chain founded in Dublin, Ohio in 2007 that serves breakfast and lunch, from 6 am-2:30 pm daily. It also has locations in Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Alabama, and Edmonton, Alberta.

    The menu ranges from pancakes and eggs benedict at breakfast to Buffalo chicken salad and "big" BLTs at lunch. They're also very big on breakfast and lunch catering, with boxed breakfasts and lunches plus fruit and sandwich platters.

    In addition to basic breakfasts with eggs, toast, and choice of bacon, sausage or ham, there are meat-centric breakfasts combining eggs with chicken-fried steak or smoked sausage; all of the above come with choice of hash browns, grits, or fruit.

    The Power Breakfast is their "healthy" (ish) option with scrambled egg whites, chicken sausage, fruit, and toast. They also have a strong juice game with not just orange but carrot and "green" juices.

    There are omelets, cinnamon roll pancakes, bananas foster pancakes, and French toast. Specialty items include a breakfast quesadilla with eggs and black bean and corn salsa; a burrito with egg, sausage, onion, peppers, cheese, and potatoes; and a protein wrap with egg whites, spinach, and chicken sausage.

    "Loaded" hash browns come with eggs and sausage gravy. There are also biscuits stuffed with sausage, peppers, onions, and cheese, topped with sausage gravy.

    Lunch has sandwiches such as a Reuben, grilled cheese, and turkey club. There's a black Angus burger, chorizo chili, and a chicken flatbread.

    In September 2017, a franchise group signed a deal to add 20 new locations in Dallas-Forth Worth over the next four years. Those kinds of deals are often more talk than action, but lo and behold, they've opened five locations in North Dallas, Roanoke, Little Elm, Willow Park, and Coppell, joining three previously established locations in the Tarrant County cities of Weatherford, Haltom City, and North Richland Hills.

    This newest franchise development slated for the Dallas-Fort Worth area represents significant growth potential for the chain, notes Mike Stasko, vice president of brand strategy for Columbus, Ohio-based Sunny Street Cafe.

    Serving up a menu of all-day breakfast and lunch in a warm, community atmosphere, Sunny Street Cafe is uniquely suited for the welcoming arms of the Texans.

    Sunny Street Cafe VP says in a release that the chain focuses on a menu that is "chef driven and guest friendly — comfort food reimagined," he says. "Our bright, comfortable cafés serve as a gathering place for communities that we strive to connect with."

    The locations have been both new construction and second-generation opportunities that have been renovated. Sunny Street recently executed an evolutionary redesign that emphasizes a bright and welcoming feel, with a modernized interior layout and décor that includes a wood feature wall, butcher-block tables, counters, and seating.

    Frisco sushi restaurant Hinoki does a slimmed-down twist on omakase

    A new sushi restaurant has debuted in Frisco with a mini version of omakase: Called Hinoki, it's open for lunch and dinner at 8050 Preston Rd. #106, in a space previously occupied by another short-lived Asian restaurant called Imura, and is serving seafood both raw and cooked.

    Hinoki is from chef Leo Kekoa, who previously worked for the acclaimed Nobu chain and who also owns the popular Kinzo Sushi in north Frisco, which he opened in 2022 to bring omakase to Frisco.

    Omakase is the dining experience in which the chef prepares a multi-course tasting menu of small bites made to order, often at a premium price. While omakase has no set number of dishes, it usually ranges from 10 to 20 courses depending on how excessive the chef/restaurant is.

    Hinoki offers a six-course menu they describe as omakase for $75. It's a starter version that rotates but usually includes a sushi course, oyster topped with caviar, soup, galbi, and mochi dessert. The restaurant also has a regular a la carte menu featuring sushi, hot items, and composed bentos boxes for lunch.

    "Kinzo is my fine-dining omakase restaurant," Kekoa says. "Hinoki is designed as its more casual counterpart — still rooted in discipline and detail, but more accessible."

    Kekoa created the menu but he says it’s a team effort, with two veteran chefs: Chikau "Harry" Kikuchi, who brings 25-plus years of experience to the sushi counter (he and Kekoa worked together at Nobu); and chef Sachiko Hashimoto presiding over the hot line and overseeing the preparation of Hinoki's home-style and regional Japanese dishes.

    No sushi restaurant can ignore basics like the spicy tuna roll, California roll, dragon roll, and shrimp tempura roll, but Hinoki also has a few of distinctive rolls such as the Kumo roll with crab, avocado, and chipotle aioli, wrapped in soy paper, which has a pleasing texture that's a little more toothsome than the standard crisp seaweed wrapper.

    There are creative bowls as the Sake Dashi, featuring sushi-grade raw salmon, Asian pear, crushed marcona almonds, yuzu shirodashi, and truffle oil; and hot dishes such as miso black cod, teriyaki salmon, and Kushiyaki skewers with chicken thigh, kurobuta sausage, and shishito pepper. Most items average about $20.

    Kekoa calls his lunch offering "honest and efficient."

    "We’re bringing back the Japanese bento [referring to the cute boxed lunch with compartments for courses], such as our chirashi bento with fish, sushi rolls, and seaweed salad," he says.

    Hinoki also has a full bar with sake, wine, beer, and cocktails.

    Kekoa lives in Frisco and is bullish on his hometown.

    "With Universal Studios on the way and PGA nearby, I believe this city deserves a neighborhood sushi spot done right," he says. "I want Hinoki to bring fine-dining service at a price more people can enjoy."
