Leeds Merrion Centre welcomes ‘unique’ new Chinese street food and noodle bar

The Merrion Centre in Leeds announces the arrival of Mr Yang Chinese Street Food, a brand-new Chinese and noodle bar that opened its doors recently.

Based on Merrion Way, this is the only branch in Leeds and the Yorkshire region, making it a ‘unique and highly anticipated’ addition to the city’s culinary landscape.

A new addition to the international cuisine experience at the Merrion Centre, this latest eatery guarantees to deliver an ‘exquisite array of authentic Chinese delicacies’, featuring a selection of rice dishes, noodles, and dumplings.

The venture has also brought about seven new job opportunities for the local community, contributing to the growth and prosperity of the area.

Asked about the choice of the Merrion Centre/Arena Quarter for this new venture, Kwong Ham Chiu commented: “Having successfully run Mi’s Noodles in this location, we saw an opportunity to introduce a fresh concept with Mr Yang’s Chinese Street Food.

“By rebranding and introducing a new, exciting menu, we aim to cater to a broader audience while continuing to serve our loyal patrons.”

Charles Newman, Associate Director at Town Centre Securities PLC, owners of the Merrion Centre, expressed his enthusiasm for the new addition, adding: “We are delighted to welcome Mr Yang to the Merrion Centre family. Its unique concept and delectable menu will undoubtedly add to the vibrant and diverse dining scene in Leeds.

“We look forward to seeing the success and growth of Mr Yang within our flagship scheme.”

Kwong Ham Chiu added: “Our main goal is to attract more customers and promote Chinese food culture through Mr Yang.

The new establishment offers the same spacious interior as its predecessor, providing ample seating to accommodate groups of all sizes. This casual setting intends to complement the ‘casual and authentic’ cuisine served at the venue.
