A new market hall and dining destination is to open this summer at a soon-to-be completed landmark development in Manchester city centre.
Bruntwood SciTech has secured a deal with the Chi Yip Group to bring Hello Oriental to Circle Square in July.
Located in Symphony Park, Hello Oriental will occupy more than 6,000 sq ft, over three floors in the South Pavilion.
The new concept which is being launched by the group behind Manchester restaurant Ocean Treasure and online supermarket of the same name, will offer everything from Chinese roast meats and dim sum to East Asian street food, alongside a modern Chinese bakery and on-site supermarket.
Ricky Yip, owner of Hello Oriental, said: "When we launched Hello Oriental as an online supermarket 12 months ago, that was only the start of our journey.
"We also wanted to deliver the very best Asian and oriental produce to our customers in Manchester, but we needed a flagship venue that would bring our vision to life.
"It was clear to us that Circle Square is the perfect place for us, a new city neighbourhood that is bringing people together to create a really thriving community.
"We can’t wait to launch Hello Oriental later this year and we’re confident that our new market hall experience will be a place for food-lovers of all backgrounds to come together, socialise and enjoy the very best Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine."
