DALLAS—Two trendy new tenants have debuted in Preston Center in Highland Park. Go Fish Poke is the first true poke concept, i.e. raw fish salad, of its kind in Dallas, and the flagship restaurant will be located at 6030 Luther Ln. Yolk will open its second store in Dallas, taking over LYFE Kitchen's old space at 8315 Westchester Dr.
Go Fish Poke is owned and operated by Tony Lin, who also owns Edo Japan in Rockwall. Lin sought to expand his culinary offerings in fine cuisine by bringing the popular West Coast and Hawaiian poke trend to Dallas. The 2,574-square-foot restaurant will cater to the health-conscious person looking for an alternative to salad to enjoy in house or on the go.
“We are very excited our first location in the metroplex will open at the prestigious Preston Center. It is a great opportunity to share our health-driven poke concept with the surrounding neighborhoods and employees, and we're hopeful and confident our enthusiasm for our food will be shared by all who come and try it,” said Lin.
Yolk's 4,604-square-foot eatery is the third location in DFW, with one in Fort Worth and another in One Arts Plaza in Dallas. Founded in 2006 by Taki Kastanis in Chicago, Yolk has established itself as a staple, serving breakfast and lunch, and will continue to expand throughout 2017.
“We're looking forward to joining the Highland Park community and sharing our passion for breakfast, lunch and fantastic service,” said Kastanis.
Both tenants were represented by Kornel Romada, executive vice president of retail at NAI Robert Lynn. Romada represented the tenants during the lease negotiations. Ryan Stewart represented the landlord, Rosebriar Properties, for the Go Fish Poke deal and the Weitzman Group represented the sub-lease of LYFE Kitchen for the Yolk deal.
“At NAI Robert Lynn, we strive to create long-lasting relationships with our clients by finding optimal deals for current and future needs,” Romada tells GlobeSt.com. “I've been fortunate to represent Taki with Yolk since the lease of the first Texas location in 2013, and Preston Center will be the third location in DFW. I'm also excited about the new partnership with Tony at Go Fish Poke and his concept that I think will really take off this year. I'm confident the new locations will contribute to each restaurant's success, and I look forward to assisting with more Yolk and Go Fish Poke openings in the future.”
