ST. LOUIS — A Midtown sushi restaurant has closed.

BaiKu Sushi Lounge, located at 3407 Olive St. inside Hotel Ignacio and near the campus of Saint Louis University, has closed its doors. Officials with the restaurant made the announcement on Facebook Thursday.

Two of the new additions to Union Station now have firm opening dates. The St. Louis Wheel and Soda Fountain restaurant will open their doors Tuesday, Oct. 1. But eager customers can get a sneak peek the day before. There will be a "soft opening" on Monday, Sept.

“BaiKu Sushi Lounge has closed. Thank you to all the amazing guests we had the privilege of serving these past five years – it has been our pleasure. Catch ya later,” the social media post read.

Bon Appétit magazine has released its annual list of the 50 best new restaurant nominees, with St. Louis' Savage and Balkan Treat Box making appearances. The magazine's annual list is overseen by Bon Appétit's Deputy Editor Julia Kramer.
