Alpharetta Restaurant Offers Chinese Food Takeout, Delivery

ALPHARETTA, GA — Mow’s Chinese Kitchen, a virtual restaurant offering takeout and delivery Chinese food is now operating from a stand in front of Lapeer Seafood Market at Alpharetta City Center. The pop-up is the newest concept from Maven Restaurant Group which also operates Lapeer Seafood Market, South Main Kitchen, and Butcher & Brew, and will serve a menu inspired by Owner Louis Soon’s Chinese heritage.

Mow’s is open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. from Tuesday through Saturdays, with dinner service forthcoming.

The name Mow’s Kitchen comes from Soon’s grandfather, who grew up and owned restaurants in Guangzhou, China. The menu will be reflective of dishes Soon enjoyed throughout his childhood, blending Chinese-American favorites with new standouts, including triple citrus chicken - fried chicken, sesame seed, scallion, crispy glass noodle and sticky rice; house special fried rice - onion, carrot, red pepper, Chinese broccoli, egg, togarashi, chicken, BBQ pork and shrimp; and western vegetable stir fry - wok sauce, chili crackle, sticky rice and togarashi.

Handmade dumplings and made-from-scratch noodles will be incorporated into dishes like gyoza - handmade pork dumpling, onion, garlic, savory seasonings and crackle-yaki dip; wonton soup - handmade pork wonton, shaved onion, scallion and fried wonton chip; and garlic pork noodle - Chinese broccoli, scallion, miso butter and garlic chip.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted us to revisit and adapt our current restaurant offerings to better serve our community,” Soon said. “I look forward to bringing some of the flavors and dishes I grew up eating to Alpharetta’s distinct dining scene through our new virtual concept.”

Customers can pull up to a reserved parking space directly in front of Lapeer in Alpharetta City Center, 12 North Broad St., for pickup. Takeout ordering is available on the website, and delivery is available via UberEats, GrubHub, DoorDash and Postmates.

“I continue to be inspired by the way tenants at Alpharetta City Center have adapted over the past year, despite such challenging conditions,” said Ashley Majors, property manager at Alpharetta City Center. “Louis’s new pop-up is bound to be a huge success for his team at Lapeer, and I know the Alpharetta community will welcome it with open arms. I am thrilled to see his passions for both the restaurant industry and his Chinese heritage blend in such a unique and innovative way.”

Lapeer Seafood Market will continue to operate during normal business hours and serve its menu of Caribbean and Asian flavors.
