Dallas restaurant Malibu Poke will add an Austin location this fall at 211 Walter Seaholm Drive.
Jon Alexis, owner of TJ’s Seafood Market & Grill, and Matt McCallister, a James Beard Award-nominated chef at FT33, designed the Malibu Poke menu, which combines classic poke bowls, quick service and fine dining ingredients.
Alexis is partnering with brothers Ben and Eric Kusin, both of whom attended the University of Texas, to bring Malibu Poke to Austin.
“We aren’t just Dallas carpetbaggers—we have deep ties to Austin,” Eric Kusin said in a media release. “None of us are interested in simply bringing a Dallas concept south. We’ll infuse this Malibu location with everything we love about Austin.”
Malibu Poke has one location in Dallas in the Turtle Creek Village and plans to open another Uptown Dallas location in the fall. 469-250-7074.
