A new Asian fusion and sushi restaurant called Mu Lan is set to open in Amarillo, Texas, taking over a space that was previously occupied by a furniture store. The building is owned by White Stone, LLC, which also owns Sushi Nami in Lubbock, Texas. The opening of Mu Lan comes as the 45th and Bell area of Amarillo has seen growth in recent years, with the additions of QDOBA and Long John Silver's.

Why it matters

The arrival of Mu Lan represents an opportunity to further diversify Amarillo's dining options and reinvigorate the 45th and Bell area, which has seen some turnover in recent years. As a sushi fusion concept, Mu Lan could attract new customers and bring a fresh culinary experience to the community.

The building is owned by White Stone, LLC, a company based in Midland, Texas that also owns the Sushi Nami restaurant in Lubbock.
