Mango’s Grill

This new restaurant began its soft opening on August 9. It’s open from 4:30 pm to 10 pm at 401 Bryan Avenue. This is the former location of Funky Picnic Brewery & Café. They promise an “Izakaya vibe straight from Japan’s late-night alleys.” Ice cold beer and Japanese whisky highballs served alongside smoky skewers of yakitori grilled to perfection. The former Shinjuku Station on Magnolia was the first to bring this typical Japanese fair to town. You can also find it at Wabi House at the corner of 8^th Avenue and Magnolia.

Lazy Cow

Adding an assortment of tasty treats, Lazy Cow has opened at 5615 Colleyville Blvd. Suite 420. It’s a “cow-themed café serving up handcrafted boba teas, over-the-top milkshakes, creamy horchata, slushies, smoothies, and even taiyaki — adorable, fish-shaped Japanese pastries stuffed with sweet fillings,” according to Grapevine Edit. Lazy Cow fills Taiyaki fish with custard, red bean, Nutella, you name it.
