The menu features unique flavor profiles and food pairings made with farm fresh ingredients and is focused on achieving overall balance and wellness, much like the Asian diet, which promotes eating plant-based greens, vegetables and whole grains with minimal meat and dairy. The menu is clean eating in its purest form and delivered through a Pan-Asian menu focused on a fusion of flavors and ingredients from all across Asia.
"We are thrilled to be expanding into the Texas market for the first time," said PK, Co-Founder of Balance Grille.
