No one was sure if Baton Rouge would embrace a raw fish salad inspired by the cuisine of the Pacific Islands when Southfin Southern Poké first opened in March 2017.
“Cut to just over a year later: The flagship location has become a lunchtime destination, poké is popping up on menus around town and Southfin’s second location has just launched,” 225 Dine writes in a new feature that offers that takes readers inside the restaurant’s newest location on Corporate Boulevard.
Southfin’s second location is roomier than its first. There’s a bigger dining room as well as two community tables in addition to the restaurant’s signature fish scale accents, blue walls and airy atmosphere.
“The poké menu is nearly the same except for one thing: a special seasonal bowl that will rotate depending on what’s fresh,” 225 Dine reports. “If you’re looking for the exact same bowls in a new location, you got it.”
New features include an emphasis on milk teas. The original Southfin also serve varieties of the drink, but the Corporate location places them front and center, offering Thai, matcha, taro and Louisiana citrus milk teas brewed with tea from Red Stick Spice Company and finished with tapioca bubbles.
