The quality fell short. So, they started making their own. What began as a better towel quickly became something more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/slowtide.co\">slowtide.co<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kei Concepts<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">restaurant group<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">17011 Beach Blvd., Huntington Beach<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Company tagline: \u201cKei Concepts\u2019 vision and mission is to connect all generations, old and new, through its concepts by offering authentic yet progressive pan-Asian cultural cuisines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About: \u201cIn 2014, we opened our first restaurant, SUP Noodle Bar, not knowing the surprises it had in store for us in the future.
