Nishi reported its first sale in Austin on and is open now, per Community Impact. The first brick-and-mortar restaurant from Little Nishi, a hand-roll trailer, in South Austin. It serves Japanese hand rolls and small plates, such as a yellowtail belly hand roll with whiskey ponzu, sashimi, and roasted chili edamame, and the bigger kitchen adds nigiri. Brand-new spots often run soft-open hours and a short menu at first, so it's worth a quick check before you cross town.

How we know
Each business here holds a new Texas sales tax permit from the Comptroller. A permit is not an opening, so we call a business open only after checking it by hand. Source: Texas Comptroller sales tax permit records.
