    Coronavirus News

    Thanks to COVID-19 for these Dallas restaurant openings and closings

    Coronavirus cases have supposedly leveled off, leading Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to allow bars to reopen. That won't happen in Dallas for now, since Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said he won't reopen bars in Dallas County until Dallas County stops presenting "moderate risk" for COVID-19 transmission.

    But we're still seeing a few openings and reopenings here and there, as well as some sad closures.

    Here's the latest batch.

    OPENINGS

    Good Wings
    New wings-to-go concept features wings, both boneless and bone-in, plus sides including mac & cheese, fried pickles, French fries, and red velvet cake. Their hours are 3 pm-midnight, and they can be ordered via Uber Eats, Door Dash, and Grub Hub, or you can pick up at their ghost kitchen at 520 Shepherd Dr. in Garland.

    Founder is Cole Chavarria, a F&B pro who lost his job due to the pandemic and decided to give this wings thing a shot.

    Their menu includes traditional wings, boneless wings, and sliders such as "Carolina Reaper," featuring fiery hot chicken tenders on a mini bun, speared with a pickle. Buffalo Ranch fries are as you might expect: topped with spicy Buffalo sauce, then drizzled with ranch.

    Asian Mint
    The small, impeccable Thai chain has managed to hang on with creative to-go options and a brisk takeout operation. Now they're slowly reopening the dining rooms at their four locations, one by one.

    • The Inwood Village location at 5450 Lovers Ln. opened at the beginning of October.
    • The Richardson location at 300 W. Campbell Rd. #140 opened on October 5.

    The two remaining locations — at US-75 and Forest Lane and at 4246 Oak Lawn Ave. — are still "coming soon."

    Cadillac Pizza Pub
    Pizzeria in historic downtown McKinney at 1125 S. Kentucky St. has reopened, starting with curbside pick-up only. Calling this a COVID-19 reopening is not quite true: The McKinney Square staple suffered a fire in April. They're doing curbside pickup first, and plan to open for dine-in service in mid-October, with the possible return of live music in November.

    Cadillac Pizza Pub does New York-style pizza, making dough every day and featuring wood-fired pies with all-natural sauce and locally sourced toppings.

    They're part of {33} Restaurant Group, which also owns and operates The Yard in McKinney, Taverna Rossa Craft Pizza and Beer in Plano and Southlake, and Heritage Pizza and Taproom in The Colony.

    CLOSURES

    Beauty Bar
    The longtime Dallas dance club that debuted on Henderson Avenue a decade ago has closed. The closure was announced on October 1 via a Facebook post.

    "Well RIP Beauty Bar," it said. "We tried to hang around...but ya know, 2020."

    Beauty Bar was among the first bars to help transform Henderson Avenue into a buzzy area when founder Brooke Humphries opened it in 2010. It had a welcoming atmosphere and became a big platform for local DJs. Humphries moved the bar to Deep Ellum in April 2019 as part of her overall departure from Henderson Avenue.

    Kobe Steaks
    The hibachi-style restaurant in Addison closed on October 2, announcing the news via a Facebook post on October 6. "After 40 years of operation, due to COVID-19, Kobe Steaks has made the difficult decision to close its doors," their statement said.

    Kobe Steaks opened in December of 1980 on Belt Line Road in Addison.

    "We will be forever grateful to our friends and loyal customers who have supported us throughout the years. It has truly been a pleasure and an honor to have served you," their post said. "We wish good health for you and your loved ones during these uncertain times."

    El Fenix
    The Lemmon Avenue location of this Tex-Mex chain closed on September 25. It had been at that address for 60 years. Owner Mike Karns, who bought the chain in 2008, told the Dallas Morning News that "current conditions" led to the closure. There are 14 other locations.

    Wabi Sushi opens in Flower Mound with fun creative dishes to try

    A highly creative chef has opened a new sushi spot in Flower Mound: Called Wabi Sushi, it's a Japanese restaurant which opened in May at 1450 Long Prairie Rd. #110, taking over a former Parlor Doughnuts which closed in December 2025.

    Wabi Sushi (no relation to Wabi House, a small local chain) is from Dongwhun Lee, a sushi chef who learned the ropes of sushi while living in Los Angeles, and has worked at a variety of restaurants such as Avocado Roll Sushi.

    "I have been working as 'Chef AK' at Japanese restaurants since 2006," Lee says. "My goal is always to make sushi accessible, both for sushi lovers as well as sushi beginners — to remove any barrier and make everything easy to eat."

    Wabi Sushi's menu includes classics like sushi rolls, nigiri, rice bowls, and dumplings. But Lee is a creative chef who is constantly adding inventive dishes to capture diners' imaginations. (He once founded a breakfast concept called Three Egg Muffins, now closed.)

    Signature items at Wabi Sushi include:

    • Korokke, a fried potato fritter that's a common comfort food in Japan. A variation of the French croquette, it's made from mashed potatoes, onion, and ground beef or pork, shaped into patties, covered with panko crumbs, and fried.
    • Inari sushi, AKA sushi pockets, these are another comforting dish that's almost like a cross between sushi and an open-faced dumpling. It has a paper-thin slice of tofu which is fashioned into an edible pouch, simmered in broth, then stuffed with seasoned sushi rice and choice of topping from an array that includes spicy salmon, tuna, seared salmon, spicy pork, shrimp, tamaago egg, Japanese tuna salad, avocado salad, or French carrot salad.

    Many traditional inari options feature cooked ingredients, making them a good alternative for those who don't want to consume raw fish. The tofu has a sweet-savory quality that's appealing, and their handheld profile makes them great for takeout.

    There are a few places in Dallas doing inari, although usually just as a single item on the menu. Wabi Sushi offers them in samplers such as three pockets for $10, or four pockets for $13. Lee calls them "the perfect bite."

    "They're my daughter's favorite," he says. "We try to offer something affordable and it's a simple, easy-to-eat item that's great for lunch."

    Other recent introductions include their oversized "sumo" dumplings, baked volcano rolls, and BBQ bowls — and there are more new items in the works.

    "We're launching sushi tacos this summer, and shrimp ramen in the fall," he says. "We plan to keep updating the menu so there is always something new. But we always cover the basics, with food that's simple and good."
