New Korean restaurant DUBU to open in Northwest Austin

Hyo Lim, the owner behind Yuki Handroll Bar, is opening up a new authentic Korean restaurant at Anderson Mill Road and US 183, he said. The new eatery, DUBU, will launch in July.

What’s on the menu: DUBU will have a mixture of Korean and Japanese-style dishes, but will primarily highlight owner Hyo Lim’s experience with Korean cooking, he said.

The context: Lim is a longtime restaurateur, serving food across Texas in Houston, Dallas and Austin. He has around 15 years of experience working in the food service industry, though he got his start by shadowing his mother-in-law, who owned a Korean grocery store in Miami.

Lim launched his other Austin venture, Yuki Handroll Bar, in 2023 in Westlake. The restaurant is a collaboration between him and Chef Jun Kim. The pair then expanded the handroll restaurant in 2024, opening a second location at Four Points in Northwest Austin.

35 sheltered, 334 tons of debris cleared in first month of Austin's renewed homeless encampment response

City crews conducted hundreds of site visits, cleared hundreds of thousands of pounds of debris and moved dozens of people into shelter over the first month of Austin's ramped-up homeless encampment management.

The details: Earlier in the spring, Austin Homeless Strategies and Operations announced an expanded model for addressing the scores of known encampments in public places around the city. The renewed response came years after local voters reinstated a public camping ban, and followed shorter-term targeted encampment clearings by both the city and state agencies last year.

From May 11 to June 5, AHSO-led teams conducted 456 total visits to 127 unique locations citywide, where more than 334 tons of debris were cleared. Half of the people contacted at encampments accepted offers of assistance—either shelter or other services—while half declined any help. As part of ongoing monitoring, AHSO found people are frequently reoccupying sites after they're cleared, with signs of return activity at 28% of those locations.
