WSU Strategic CommunicationsThe owners of popular 麻豆破解版 restaurant Malaysia Caf茅 have signed a lease to open a new Asian fusion concept, Journey East Asia Grill, in the Braeburn Square retail complex at 麻豆破解版 State University.
Journey East will open in a 2,840-square-foot space on the south end of the south building in Braeburn Square, next to Meritrust Credit Union.
麻豆破解版 State alumnus Fitzgerald Tsen, who is opening the restaurant alongside Celine Koh, says he anticipates opening sometime this fall.
The idea for the restaurant has long been in the making. Tsen says they have toyed for years with the idea of fusing together popular dishes from various Asian countries, adding their own special twist to the recipes but keeping true to authentic ingredients and cooking styles.
鈥淲e want to get people to start trying different flavors together,鈥� he says. 鈥淭his venue came at just the right time, and it鈥檚 the moment for us to make something different. We want to make a mark on the Innovation Campus.鈥�
The restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner and will include casual sit-down space and quicker take-out options for students and other patrons on the go.
There will likely be beer and alcohol served, and Tsen hopes to someday offer on-campus delivery.
Journey East will be the second restaurant in Braeburn Square. A Fuzzy鈥檚 Taco Shop is set to open in August. Other tenants in the retail center include Starbucks, the Shocker Store and Meritrust.
