North Austin is getting a fresh hit of Korean fried chicken. Donkey Mo’s, one of Austin’s better-known spots for double-fried wings, is heading back to the Parmer Lane corridor with a new brick-and-mortar restaurant slated to open in April 2026. The team says fans can expect the same crispy bite and saucy wings that first put the brand on the map during its H-Mart days.
According to Community Impact, the new shop will move into the former Brooklyn Pie Co space at 6301 W. Parmer Lane, Ste. 502, with an anticipated April 2026 opening. The outlet identifies CKN Boys LLC, along with partners Youngmin Noh and Charlie Oh, as the owners behind the expansion.
From H-Mart Stall To Neighborhood Favorite
Donkey Mo’s got its start in 2018 as a stall in the H-Mart food court, where it quickly developed a loyal following before going through a series of closures and reopenings. Eater Austin traced that journey and the brand’s eventual return to brick-and-mortar service in 2024. A review in the Austin Chronicle gave particular props to the shop’s double-fried technique and wings, helping solidify its spot in the local dining landscape.
What’s On The Menu
The menu leans hard into Korean fried chicken in just about every format: wings, tenders, nuggets and sandwiches, joined by shrimp baskets and classic sides, according to Donkey Mo's. The restaurant highlights its house-made sauces and a crackly, crispy finish as the hallmarks regulars have come to expect.
Location Details And Timeline
Community Impact reports that the Parmer Lane outpost will operate from Suite 502 in the shopping center, taking over an existing restaurant footprint previously occupied by Brooklyn Pie Co. The opening is currently targeted for April 2026.
When To Expect It
Donkey Mo’s and its partners have not shared a specific opening day or final operating hours for the Parmer Lane restaurant beyond the April 2026 target. For now, the Airport Boulevard location remains the brand’s active storefront, and the restaurant’s website lists current hours and contact details, as noted by Donkey Mo's.
