The Union Building along Akard Street in Uptown will soon get a seductive and chic new sushi spot.

TEN Sushi + Cocktail Bar is a venture of longtime restaurateurs and business partners John “JT” Reed and Leslie Nguyen of Daily Dose Hospitality. The brand already has two other locations — in Houston and in Irvine, California — and after being impressed by Dallas' food scene, the duo will debut a third restaurant in Big D.

This new venture combines sushi with Pan-Asian dishes, so guests can indulge in raw food, steaks or a curry dish.

The 4,295-square-foot space holds a 14-seat mainstay circular bar and a 16-seat dining and lounge area. Bringing it to life are floor-to-ceiling Asian street art murals by California artist Jason Roose, bamboo flooring, Chinese lanterns, cherry blossoms and splashes of seductive pinks against the restaurant's matte black canvas.

Reed and Nguyen want guests to feel like they've stepped into a new environment when arriving, so each of their restaurants has its own personality but follows the same scheme. During the day, TEN will be an ideal spot for casual and formal business lunches, and at night it will transition to a sexy and chic dining experience. Naturally.

It's hip. It's cutting edge. And it's opening Friday, August 2. Happy hour will be Monday – Friday, 3–6 p.m., and a generously sized lunch menu will be offered Monday – Friday, 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.
