The establishment has won numerous awards for its food and commitment to quality. “In 2015 we scaled back to focus on the brick & mortar expansion in Austin and I am thrilled that after almost a decade we are returning to the city where my journey in Texas began. Houston holds aspecial place in my heart and I am excited at the opportunity to rekindle my connection with this diverse and culinary-focused community,” said Kim.
