The team behind Roswell sushi eatery Monkey 68 is expanding its footprint in North Fulton County.
Monkey 68 Kitchen & Bar opened Oct. 17 in Alpharetta. The restaurant doesn’t yet have its liquor license, though there is a plan to roll out a formal cocktail menu in addition to a "spirits free" cocktail menu.
The restaurant comes from owner Mali Hu and George Muh, who opened Monkey 68 in Roswell in summer 2017.
Sushi was recently added to the Alpharetta menu, overseen by executive chef David Yun.
