The restaurant will open at 1301 Custer Road, in a shopping center that has seen its share of culinary tenants over the years. Most recently, the space was home to China Pearl Restaurant, which served lobster noodle dishes and traditional Chinese fare earlier this year. Kirin Court’s arrival feels like a new chapter for the space, bringing renewed energy and a restaurant with an established reputation for quality and consistency.

Lockhart Smokehouse: Central Texas Barbecue at Home in Bishop Arts

Deep in the heart of Dallas’ Bishop Arts District, Lockhart Smokehouse brings the flavors and traditions of Central Texas barbecue to city diners. Founded by Jeff and Jill Bergus, the restaurant channels a deep connection to barbecue history while serving food with precision and care. Jill’s roots run deep: her grandfather, Edgar Schmidt, purchased the iconic Kreuz Market in Lockhart, Texas, in the 1940s. While some, like food writer Daniel Vaughn, argue that Kreuz is the oldest barbecue joint in Texas, what matters to the Burgus family is the lasting tradition of smoked meats, careful seasoning, and community-centered dining that has persisted for generations.

Bavarian Grill For Your Käsespätzle Fix

Bavarian Grill presents itself as a clean, no-nonsense take on Bavarian cuisine. Think grilled sausages, melty cheese, sturdy pretzels, and heartier fare that satisfies without pretense. The menu centers on classic sausages—bratwurst, knackwurst, Weisswurst—all grilled over charcoal to bring out that smoky snap. They serve them solo, as part of a sausage plate, or tucked into pretzel rolls. A real highlight is their Käsespätzle—small, handmade egg noodles folded with melted cheese and caramelized onions, comfort served in a bowl. Another staple is their schnitzel sandwich: thinly pounded pork, breaded and pan-fried, slapped into a roll with mustard, crisp pickles, and grilled onions.
