The menu is expected to include Spam musubi, poke bowls and pork lau lau, among other dishes. Pine Isle is the brainchild of Kevin Singharaj, who is connected with the Zaap Kitchen chain, according to CultureMap Dallas. 

A soft opening was planned for April 17, but the restaurant’s debut was delayed, according to the Pine Isle Instagram page.

“We regret to inform you that our inspections didn’t go as planned,” reads a post from April 15. “We’re delaying our opening until a later date. Once we have a clearer understanding of our permitting status, we’ll set a new date. It’ll be sooner rather than later, but we didn’t want to keep you guessing.”

It isn’t clear when exactly Pine Isle will open at 2325 N. Fitzhugh Ave.
