A Taiwanese restaurant known for its handmade soup dumplings has debuted in Southlake: Kitchen Master<\/a> is now open at 3311 E. State Hwy. 114, in the space previously occupied by Mughlai Fine Indian Cuisine, which closed in 2024.<\/p>\n

The first restaurant opened in Frisco in 2020, followed by locations in Tamsui, Taiwan, and Suwanee, Georgia.<\/p>\n

Kitchen Master is owned by Ian Peng, a Taiwanese entrepreneur who moved to the U.S. when he was 8 years old. He comes from a family of restaurant owners in Taipei and grew up working in the kitchen before moving on to Japanese restaurants and eventually launching his own concept.<\/p>\n

While the original Frisco location focused on authentic Taiwanese cuisine, the Southlake restaurant expands into broader Pan-Asian influences, along with a deep selection of Japanese dishes inspired by Peng\u2019s background.<\/p>\n

Highlights of the Southlake menu<\/a> include:<\/p>\n

Mala Berkshire pork house soup dumplingsSzechuan Berkshire pork wontons infused with Chinese spicesLamb chops with homemade chimichurri and lemongrass aioliHamachi crudo with strawberry vinaigrette and yuzu juice<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a nigiri tasting sampler, described as a mini omakase experience featuring chef-selected fish and toppings.<\/p>\n

Most entrees are priced under $30, while noodle and rice dishes stay under $20. The restaurant also features a raw bar with traditional sushi rolls starting at $10 and signature rolls at $16. For lunch during the week, an assortment of stir-fry options is available for around $15, each served with soup and a rice bowl.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur focus is on the best ingredients we can use,” Peng says. “We elevated our menu with prime cuts and better meats that result in a more flavorful and delicate dish.”<\/p>\n

A full bar serves cocktails made with premium spirits, with an emphasis on artful presentation. A happy hour menu will launch soon, they say.<\/p>\n

Spanning 9,000 square feet, the Southlake location includes a raw bar, dedicated cocktail bar, spacious main dining room, and patio.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor our new restaurants in Georgia and Taiwan, we introduced a more modern look and a relaxed eating environment, and we\u2019ve brought that same vision to Southlake,\u201d Peng says.<\/p>\n

Hours are 11am-9 pm Tuesday-Thursday and 11 am-11 pm Friday-Saturday. It is closed Sunday and Monday.<\/p>\n

While the restaurant is already open for service, they are planning a grand opening event in September, they say. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Taiwanese restaurant known for its handmade soup dumplings has debuted in Southlake: Kitchen Master is now open…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":422956,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[147158,6636,2874,423,71778,160,162,161,959],"class_list":["post-422955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-plano","tag-cityline-richardson","tag-healthy-living","tag-opening","tag-openings","tag-original-chopshop","tag-plano","tag-plano-headlines","tag-plano-news","tag-richardson"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=422955"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422955\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/422956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=422955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=422955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=422955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
