New Pan-Asian noodle bar to open in Edinburgh city centre next week with Chop Wok offering free food giveaway
A new Pan-Asian noodle bar is set to open in Edinburgh city centre next week, with a free food giveaway for customers.
After a £150,000 investment and a year of planning, Chop Wok Express will be opening in Edinburgh this month on South Clerk Street, at the former barbers shop in the Southside area of the city.
Creating seven new jobs in the process, Edinburgh’s Chop Wok Express will be the first Pan-Asian eatery in the area, offering a selection of Pan-Asian dishes but at a “lower price than usual, along with far shorter waiting times”.
The official store launch will take place on Thursday, January 22, from 2pm till 6pm, with select main wok dishes free of charge to all attending, including a vegetarian option.
On the launch day, customers will be able to choose either one non-vegetarian or one vegetarian dish from the ‘build your own section’ of the menu, with a selection of payable sides, sandwiches and desserts to choose from. Aside from this there will be a wide array of Pan-Asian favourites to choose from.
Abbas Ahmed, Edinburgh Chop Wok Express owner, said: “All the team here are very excited to launch and welcome the local community. We hope the community will take advantage of the free food offer for two reasons, so they can taste our food and so we can say hello."
Anyone wanting to take advantage of the free food offer will need to submit their contact details in-store upon ordering, and will also need to share photos of the food and store on Instagram by clicking here.
The store has been modelled based upon electro-oriental themed outdoor spaces with visually striking images from the Far East, where the menu draws its influence from.
Chop Wok brand owner, Andy Dulay, said: “After all the hard work, long hours and planning, I’m so glad to see this fantastic looking store open. It really is a unique experience for the customer and I have full confidence the locals will love it!”
