Trained chefs Amanda and Wing Joe Hohave operated their restaurant at Fashion Island for more than 13 years and opened a second location in November.
Chefs Amanda and Wing Joe Ho with their signature Fried Chicken and Doughnuts, and a Mimosa that is seved with choice of orange juice, lavender lemonade or caramelized pineapple, on the patio of their Great Maple restaurant in Anaheim on Wednesday, March 20, 2024. Great Maple co-owners Amanda and Wing Joe Ho stand together admiring the black-and-white images of Pixar characters hanging on their restaurant’s walls.
Portobello Mushroom Fries and a Lavender Lemonade is served up at the Great Maple restaurant in Anaheim on Wednesday, March 20, 2024. “They’re so lifelike,” Ho said of the images. “Their expressions are thoughtful. We thought there was something very interesting about that. To be dining in a space that is kind of upscale but doesn’t take itself so seriously and the interplay of that. We wanted to create a space that was approachable for kids and for kids at heart.”
Now more than 13 years later, Ho, along with Wing Joe, have expanded Great Maple’s brand beyond its first location at Fashion Island. There were some setbacks over the years, but the newest location in Anaheim introduces Great Maple to a broader audience. “I love our salads,” she said. “The chop salad is a longtime go-to. That’s been on our menu forever. It’s also my dad’s favorite.”
“That’s true of the Pixar characters and the pixels that make them up and that’s true of the culinary process. That’s partly why we felt there was some synergy between our two brands. We’ve tried to make a few little winks and nods throughout our restaurant space that speaks to that. There’s a mural on the wall as you’re headed to the kitchen that breaks down the process of making our doughnuts or the lamps above the tables near the bar are shaped like whisks.
