Kona Grill opens ghost kitchen

The One Group Hospitality Inc., which owns Kona Grill and Bao Yum, is opening a delivery and carry-out-only location in Austin through its partnership with Reef Kitchens, an operator of virtual restaurants, logistics, and proximity hubs in North America.

“This is the first time The One Group is partnering with a ghost kitchen concept like Reef, so we’re excited to open in Austin to discover potential growth opportunities this partnership can unlock,” Emanuel “Manny” Hilario, resident and CEO of The One Group, said in a company press release. “Customers can expect the same quality food in any of our restaurants, delivered to their doors quickly and efficiently. Our menus will comprise fan-favorite dishes like Kona Grill’s variety of sushi offerings and the KG Cheeseburger and Bao Boxes from Bao Yum. We look forward to creating even more affinity for these brands in and around Austin.”

Austin customers may order from Kona Grill and Bao Yum via all major third-party delivery platforms, including DoorDash and Uber Eats.

“Reef’s partnership with The One Group will allow us to serve up some of the most popular menu items from their fast-growing fine and casual dining brands to existing fans while introducing them to new guests,” Kenneth Rourke, resident of Reef Kitchens, said in the release. “We’re looking forward to expanding this collaboration and delivering the Kona Grill and Bao Yum experience to even more communities.”

The One Group Hospitality has 60 locations in major metropolitan cities in the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East.
