According to a Disher in the know, employees of Sushi Axiom at the Ilume were told the restaurant will be closing tonight after service. Also, Gordo’s in Preston Center will close on May 5 to make room for another Black Eyed Pea location. The BEP will be next door to John Tesar’s Spoon Bar & Kitchen.

Gordo’s UPDATE: According to an email from George Bakhshmandi loyal customers:  “Our move to the wrong side of Preston Center at the wrong time of the economy was not a wise choice. Therefore, Gordo’s was victimized by the 2008 economic disaster.” He also hints they will be back.

  1. Sushi Axiom – I noticed signage for a SA at Belt Line & Montfort, but that location isn’t on their website. I wonder if it’s replacing the Oak Lawn location.

  2. Re: Gordo’s. I don’t think it’s the location or the economy. Try improving the food next time.
    Re: BEP. Too bad it won’t be something newer/fresher. It reminds me of Chili’s. A local landmark turned into corporate pablum. Maybe it will exceed my expectations.

  3. [...] Nancy reported yesterday that Sushi Axiom in Cedar Springs is closing doors. The owners of Sushi Axiom and their business partner, Monica Green, have decided to open a new (unnamed) Mexican concept restaurant in its stead. Sushi Axiom will move over to Addison and open in the space where Cyclone Anaya’s once occupied that area off Belt Line and Montfort. It’s slated to open in late summer 2012. $(document).ready(function() { $.getScript('http://directory.dmagazine.com/common/inthispost?urls=http://directory.dmagazine.com/restaurants/Sushi-Axiom/21537&selector=%23in-this-post', function(){ $("#in-this-post a").data("click-source", "In-This-Post"); })}); [...]
