Help! Sushi Restaurant Bricktown

[jeff.]

I work at In The Raw in Bricktown. I've been there for the past four years, since it opened in 2008. Before ITR, I know there were a couple of sushi joints downtown, one named RAW and it was off of the canal, and the other I think started with an "L" but I'm not entirely sure what it was named or its location in Bricktown. I was hoping maybe someone here had any information or old pictures from these establishments? Stashed away on an old hard drive somewhere or perhaps an old photo album archive online? Either way, I can't time travel so hopefully someone here can help me out. Thanks

I believe Lotus is the "L" restaurant you mean.

I believe Lotus is the "L" restaurant you mean.

Correct. It was located directly above Bourbon Street Cafe. Sadly it had a very short run. Mismanagment was the least of the issues behind the sordid life of the owner.

[jeff.]

Yeah. Lotus is the name. Now for some pictures or anything of Lotus or RAW...

I heard a forum member named Metro might be able to help? I tried checking his gallery and found nothing (actually, his gallery wouldn't load properly).

[kevinpate]

Yes, Lotus. It disappeared sometime late 2003 or perhaps the first few days of 2004.

[jeff.]

Could anyone explain why user galleries are not working? User metro seems to have what I'm looking for in his gallery, it just doesn't seem to be working.

[Pete]

Those galleries are very old and no longer operational.

You should send metro a personal message and see if he still has the photos he took.

[jeff.]

Ah that is unfortunate. I messaged him, hopefully he has something archived.

[Pete]

Here is an old photo of Lotus:



And an old article with a couple of photos:

Yes it was Lotus, I didn't receive a PM but Ill see what I can do later this week. It's been a long week for me.

[jeff.]

Awesome! Thanks Pete!

Metro, that is strange. The message is still in my sent box. But thanks for the help! Take your time man...the holidays can be stressful ha.
