Soft Opening Alert

Austin's first proper izakaya, The Dojo, has softly opened "for our friends, family, and neighbors," and they'll be open all week long. The Dojo is "a combination of bar and restaurant where you relax and enjoy small dishes as you order drinks," and it also features the noodle expertise of Mike Elliott, aka the Ramen Ninja, who claims to make a hell of a bowl of vegan ramen. Have you been let? Let us know what you thought down the tipline. [Eaterwire]
