Part of Omei Restaurant Group
Pomelo is a new 120-seat, cocktail-focused restaurant bringing a chef-driven and refined-casual dining experience to Orlando. The culinary program draws inspiration from Southeast Asian cuisines, particularly Vietnam and Thailand, with an emphasis on thoughtful execution, quality ingredients, consistency, and an elevated but approachable guest experience.
Pomelo is not positioned as an Asian street-food concept. The restaurant is being developed as a polished, hospitality-driven destination where the culinary and beverage programs work together to create a distinctive dining experience.
Chef Hung Huynh will lead the culinary program and oversee kitchen development, the opening team, culinary standards, and execution.
The beverage program will also be an important part of Pomelo's identity. As a cocktail-focused concept, we are seeking experienced hospitality professionals with strong craft-cocktail fundamentals, along with growing knowledge of sake, wine, spirits, and food pairings.
