Sushi, then Kava, or vice versa? Whatever. 😎

Two new places next to each other opened at about the same date… and they seemed related to me, as if they have the same owner. One is calld The Kava Bar, at 4376 E. Speedway. The other is in the other half of the same building, Sushi-Kito Restaurant at 4380 E. Speedway. I vote for getting sushi first, then relexing (or whatever) with the kava. (If you haven't heard of Kava, here's a medical article — likely to be pretty conservative — from Cleveland Clinic: When It Comes to Kava, ‘Natural’ Doesn’t Mean Safe. I'm sure there are different choices and alternative opinions.) I was there July 16, 2024, as remodeling was wrapping up, so the murals may be a bit different now.

The Kava Bar has a simple mural on the north end of the west side:

The front of Sushi-Kito looks like this (with Kava Bar at the right edge):

And the mural on the east wall:

I rollled by on July 16, 2024.
