Korean food

The owners of BB Bop, a Korean restaurant on Lower Greenville focusing on bibimbap, are opening a new location on West Davis near Tyler as soon as March. Husband-and-wife business partners Greg and Sandy Bussey live in Winnetka Heights. They own CBD Provisions and run BB Bop with their brother-in-law Steve Shin, who hinted that the Oak Cliff BB Bop might offer Korean fried chicken. The new location, at 828 W. Davis, has been vacant for many years and was the site of a popup bar three years ago.

Austin food

Tacodeli announced in January its plans to open its first restaurant outside of Austin. The Texas taco chain, which has four locations in Austin, signed a lease at Sylvan Thirty and is expected to open this coming summer. Founder Robert Espinosa started the restaurant in 1999 because he missed the food of his hometown, Mexico City. The restaurant has its own tortillas made and serves 40 types of tacos, including cochinita pibil, carne asada, shrimp, chicken and veggie. Plus breakfast tacos.
