The Market at Malcolm Yards to add World Street Kitchen this month
Uptown restaurant World Street Kitchen will open a second Minneapolis outpost this month inside The Market at Malcolm Yards.
Brothers Sameh and Saed Wadi founded World Street Kitchen over a decade ago, beginning with a food truck before establishing their popular neighborhood restaurant.
At the soon-to-be food hall location, which takes over the former Mr. Paul's Po' Boys and Jams space, World Street Kitchen will continue to offer dishes from across the globe.
"World Street Kitchen is cooking without borders," said Chef Sameh Wadi in a news release. "We source diverse ingredients worldwide to create unique and bold flavors. We can't wait to showcase our favorite dishes and celebrate global cuisine."
Yum Yum Rice Bowls, made with steamed rice, soft-cooked egg, and a "secret sauce", are perhaps World Street's Kitchen most-loved dish.
Both the Yum Yum Rice Bowls and Bangkok Burritos are made with Korean-style BBQ short ribs, crispy marinated tofu or chicken. Lemongrass meatballs and Vietnamese-style turmeric and dill fish are also offered on the rice bowl menu.
"We are excited to enhance our offerings and provide a diverse culinary experience for our guests," Patricia Wall, owner of The Market at Malcolm Yards, said in statement. "World Street Kitchen brings a new global and flavorful cuisine to The Market."
In a recent interview with Twin Cities Business Magazine, Wall confirmed she's looking to bring The Market at Malcolm Yards to the west metro.
Wall told the magazine she's eyeing St. Louis Park for a second location, which will ideally feature a rooftop patio.
