Nick Ford and Wade McElroy of Rocco’s will open neighborhood sushi bar Kinsho off Rainey Street in Austin, the first-ever dedicated sushi restaurant on the street.
“Rainey [Street] continues to be one of the most dynamic areas of Austin,” McElroy said in a news release. “Kinsho is meant to be a true neighborhood sushi bar, easy for Rainey [Street] residents to enjoy often, and inviting to Austinites from all over the city.”
On the menu
Kinsho will offer an a la carte menu, as well as an omakase option. The restaurant will feature an 18-seat sushi bar where chef Victor Gonzales, who has spent time at Uchiko and Lucky Robot, will guide guests through chef-chosen courses.
Beverages will include a selection of sake, beer, wine and cocktails.
Quote of note
“We’re bringing the same attention to detail we apply to all of our projects, but in a way that feels relaxed, accessible, and personal,” Ford said in a news release. “From the house-made elements to the sushi bar experience Victor has created, whether you’re ordering a single roll or sitting down for omakase, we want every visit to feel thoughtful and welcoming.”
