Kapow Noodle Bar, the Southeast Asian restaurant concept with an established Palm Beach County presence, is taking over the former Elba space at 250 SE 6th Ave near Las Olas Boulevard — the brand's first Broward County address, according to the operator's Instagram.
The announcement confirmed the address and the prior tenant but offered no opening date, build-out timeline, or seat count. What it does establish: Kapow is crossing county lines for the first time, moving into a corridor that has supported full-service dining concepts within walking distance of the Las Olas entertainment core.
The brand's menu spans ramen, bao buns, and sushi alongside handcrafted cocktails — a Southeast Asian-leaning format the operator has used to build its Palm Beach County following across multiple locations. The cocktail program is likely to be relevant on SE 6th Ave, where the surrounding block draws evening foot traffic from the Las Olas Boulevard strip.
The former Elba space gives Kapow a named address and an existing build-out to work from, though the scope of any renovation has not been disclosed. Square footage and design credits were not included in the source.
A permit filing with the City of Fort Lauderdale would be the clearest next signal on timing and build-out scope. Until then, the Fort Lauderdale entrance stands as announced but unscheduled — a first Broward location for a Palm Beach brand making its southward expansion along the I-95 corridor.
