🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

Opens Its First Brick-and-Mortar in Austin 🐟

Brand new Austin food news: WOW POKE just opened its first brick-and-mortar poke shop in Austin 🤠 and it’s a big milestone for one of the city’s most consistent poke concepts.

⭐️ WOW POKE currently holds a 4.8-star rating on Google with 330+ reviews, and this marks location number five 📍but the first permanent storefront after years of trucks and pop-ups across East Austin and Central Austin.

Rene opened WOW POKE with his wife after a long road that started overseas. He finished his degree in Spain, moved to Miami (his first time living in the U.S.), and worked in kitchens until he had enough to open his own concept in 2019.

Then the pandemic hit.
The business shut down.
Everything reset.

Instead of rebuilding in Miami, Rene looked for a smaller city with real potential 👀 and landed in Austin.

Being half Japanese and half Venezuelan, with ties to Hawaii and a love for fresh, light food, poke felt natural. WOW POKE started as a truck on East Cesar Chavez, quietly building a following with clean flavors, generous bowls, and consistency.

Today, WOW POKE operates five locations across Austin:

• Central Austin: Burnet Rd (brand new brick-and-mortar) - 7433 Burnet Rd

• East Austin —

• East Austin —

• South Austin —

• Central Austin —

What stands out is that Rene isn’t just a food guy.

He has a business and video production background, and it shows.

WOW POKE has built a loyal Austin following by doing the basics right — fresh poke, consistency, and scale without cutting corners.

If you’ve been eating WOW POKE out of a truck, this is a big moment 🫶

If you’re new to poke in Austin, this is a solid place to start.

⏰ Hours: 12PM–10PM daily 🤝

🚨 HAPPY HOUR IN EAST AUSTIN 🚨

Is Bringing Big Neighborhood Energy to East Austin 🍕🍻

Set inside the historic Haynes–Delashwah House in East Austin, Loudmouth is a gorgeous neighborhood hangout in AUSTIN from Daybreak Hospitality 🌞 the team behind

Happy Hour Details 🍹🍕

Mon–Fri: 4–6 PM
Sat–Sun: 12–4 PM

HH Drinks:

• $5 Spaghetts & ICY BOYS
• $8 house wine
• $10 frozens: Creamsicle, Painkiller (limit 2 — hella boozy)
• $10 cocktails: Limoncello Spritz, Aperol Spritz, Old Fashioned, Margarita

HH Food:

Built in the 1890s, the Victorian home was once owned by longtime city councilmember Harry L. Haynes and later Thomas Delashwah, Austin’s first Black pharmacist.

The renovation preserved original longleaf pine floors, stained-glass entry panels, and beaded interior paneling 😍 all thoughtfully reworked into the bar design.

The project was led by Furman + Keil Architects, Campbell Landscape Architecture, and Kempt Studio (also behind Paperboy’s interiors).

Loudmouth is a passion project from Daybreak’s Executive Chef Patrick Jackson, inspired by his boisterous grandfather, Joe ❤️

Now with a new culinary direction from Chef Greg Martinez (CDC) and Chef Josh Griffith (Sous), the menu leans heavy into nostalgia with playful riffs on Italian-American classics - it’s a great choice for an East Austin happy hour, group hangs, or a low-key Austin date night with pizza, wings, and cocktails 🤜🤛

Outside, the massive lawn feels like a classic East Austin beer garden 🍻 picnic tables, shaded patio, towering oak trees, a kids’ play area, and one of the best sunset views of the downtown Austin skyline.

Pizza. Beer. Cocktails.

🚨 A brand-new $195 omakase in Austin 🚨

AND IT MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE ONE YET

🫶

This concept opened last week inside the and is led by brothers Haru and Gohei Kishi, whose backgrounds blend French technique with traditional Japanese cooking.

That mix shows up in the structure of the menu — thoughtful pacing, clean ex*****on, and no torches or theatrics.

The first bite was especially well executed, and the rest of the meal followed that same level.

Two cocktails I tried worth noting:

Strawberry + Sakura and Yuzu + Olive Oil.

Courses:

• Gougère — A5 wagyu + toro tartare, parmesan crust, nori emulsion, osetra caviar
• Chawanmushi — shiitake dashi, kabocha purée, ikura, uni, fresh wasabi
• Gasterité — dry-aged kanpachi, umemori sauce, seasonal oyster
• Seasonal Bites — wagyu croquette, black cod miso, Texas grapefruit terrine, salmon mi-cuit, snow crab sunomono
• Nigiri — bluefin tuna selection
• Wagyu Beef Cheek — smoked Bourguignon-style beef cheek, red wine jus, potato foam
• Takikomi Rice + Miso Soup — fish bone dashi, goma nori
• Wagyu + Wagyu — Miyazaki A5 ribeye + Rosewood Ranch striploin, carrot purée, pecan yakimiso
• Koshihikari Rice Ice Cream — junmai sake, masago arare
• Namelaka — white chocolate, orange gâteau, yuzu gel, persimmon
• Madeleine — vanilla

The dining room is beautiful and not cramped, and I left comfortably full, which isn’t always the case with omakase formats.

📍 600 W 2nd St — inside Austin Proper Hotel
🚗 Valet available ($25 and the easiest option)

⏰ Hours:

• Tues, Wed, Thurs: 6–9 PM
• Fri & Sat: 5–11 PM
• Sun & Mon: Closed

🚨 Roma Norte (CDMX) 🚨 sorry it’s not Austin 😂 this is your sign to get your passport and hit MX ASAP 🤷🏻‍♂️

One of the most consistently great seafood restaurants in Mexico City, and easily one of my favorite stops this entire trip.

La Docena has locations across MX, but the Roma Norte spot hits a perfect balance of neighborhood energy, killer service, and next-level mariscos 🎣

The Kampachi Crudo was the best bite of my entire trip — bright, cold, citrusy, and insanely clean. Absolute must-order if you go 🫡

Their Lamburguesa (a lamb hamburger) is another standout: rich, smoky, perfectly seasoned, and one of the better burgers I’ve had in the city. Between the raw bar, the tostadas, the oysters, and the grill, everything coming out of the kitchen is dialed in.

Also thanks for the table-side Batanga 😂 that cocktail had its 15 minutes of fame a few years back but I still love the tequila, Mexican Coke, lime, and a salted rim mixed right in front of us.

Simple, classic, and perfect with seafood 🤝

If you’re exploring Roma Norte, love oysters, or just want a guaranteed-good meal in CDMX, this needs to be on your list.
