LemonShark Poke will open for business this summer at the ground-floor
of The Bishop, which is located at 1115 Springwood Connector. The
project also includes neighboring retail and approximately 400 luxury
apartments. Multifamily developer and investment firm Pollack Shores
owns the development, which is expected to benefit from its proximity to
numerous job centers and MARTA.
The new restaurant will be run by franchise owner D.J. Fuchs. Named
after the Lemon Shark who only consumes the very best fish possible,
LemonShark Poké prides itself on serving the finest quality ingredients to
its guests. In addition to traditional poké offerings, the menu includes
shareable appetizers such as tempura shrimp and egg rolls, and its
signature Hawaii Katsu menu that features cooked-to-order, delectable
entrées including chicken, Alaskan cod and more. In addition,
LemonShark Poké’s new location provides locals with an elevated dining
experience – featuring Japanese-inspired upscale, chic décor. The Sandy
Springs location will also feature an oyster bar and a beer wall which will
serve a variety of Atlanta’s local craft beers.
“Atlanta is growing at such a rapid rate, and NKF presented our team
with a rare opportunity to introduce a first-to-market concept in a top ten
metropolitan area,” said Fuchs. “We’re excited to bring our combination
of extraordinary service, comprehensive food selection and tight-knit
family community to Sandy Springs.”
