Yelo, a grab-and-go counter service restaurant serving Southeast Asian street foods in Katy Asian Town, closed Sept. 4 to create more dining space for Malaysian restaurant Phat Eatery.
Alex Au-Yeung, chef and owner of both restaurants, said in a press release that Phat Eatery has seen demand that exceeds its capacity. The eatery opened in Katy Asian Town in 2018, with Yelo opening in 2021.
The eatery will close for two weeks in late September for renovations and reopen in early October with 40 additional seats for a total seating capacity of 130. Phat Eatery will also receive a full bar focused on signature Asian cocktails and a private dining room. Some Yelo menu items will move to Phat Eatery, including pan-fried dumplings and the beef noodle soup. 832-913-6382. www.phateatery.com
