January 3, 2008 – Austin, TX.
Mama Fu’s Asian House opens its flagship location in Central Austin
today at the Triangle. After opening two locations in far south (Southpark
Meadows) and north Austin (Lakeline Blvd at Hwy 183) with success, Mama
Fu’s is now ready to make its mark in the center of town.
Randy Murphy, CEO of Murphy Restaurant Group, has personally overseen
the build-out of the Triangle location, which is next door to the new
Office Max. The Triangle is the highly anticipated mixed-use
development sandwiched between Guadalupe and 45th Streets and
Lamar Blvd., where the popular lunch eatery Mandola’s Italian Market
currently resides.
Murphy signed the lease at the Triangle over three years ago in
anticipation of this great location. Mama Fu’s restaurants will bring
in an estimated $4M to the Austin area this year, including the Triangle
location. Murphy Restaurant Group has invested over $2.3M into the
Austin area Mama Fu’s locations, and will continue to invest into the
Austin community with the much anticipated Second Street District
location opening in Spring 2008 at the corner of Colorado and Cesar
Chavez:
“We are very excited to launch our Mama Fu’s Triangle location. It
will give us an opportunity to reach many of our current customers more
frequently, and introduce our quality cuisine and high energy atmosphere
to many new customers in Central Austin.”
The Triangle location will offer its customers Asian fusion cuisine
including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Thai dishes that
are exquisitely prepared by highly-trained wok cooks using fresh, high
quality ingredients. Mama Fu’s menu favorites include Thai Dynamite
Shrimp, Lettuce Wraps, Thai Coconut Soup, Spicy General Fu, Seared Ahi
Steak and Ginger Sesame Salad. Each dish is made-to-order in an open
kitchen setting. The Triangle location will offer fast, counter service
by day and relaxing table service at night. Like all locations, Mama
Fu’s Triangle will also offer patio dining, live music on Friday and
Saturday evenings, and free Wi-Fi, great for students and professionals
in the area.
Mama Fu’s dedication to the Austin community doesn’t stop with its
newest locations this year. It has partnered with the Center for Child
Protection in 2008 to offer support to the Center throughout the year.
Mama Fu’s will be donating 50% of its Grand Opening Day revenue to the
Center, and Mama Fu’s panda bears will be available to patrons who would
like to purchase a bear for a child that has experienced trauma in some
way (all panda bear sales also go to the Center; please go to
www.centerforchildprotection.org
for more information).
“We are very proud about our expansion in our hometown of Austin; we
have created a large, loyal following of customers, and have now
eclipsed 100 total employees. We look forward to continuing to serve
the Austin community in a commerce, employment and charitable capacity
moving ahead.”
Dine-in or take-out is available daily from 11 am to 10 pm Sunday
through Thursday, and 11 am to 11 pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and Mama
Fu’s is always available for catering. For more information, please call (512) 637-6771,
