First look: A massive three floor underground Chinese market hall is coming to Manchester city centre

We guarantee that Hello Oriental will be your first destination when lockdown eases. The underground market hall spanning 3 floors in Manchester’s city centre is expected to open in July of this year. The food hall will be open every day between 10am and 11pm, and offers Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine, including roast meats, dim sum, street food, a modern Chinese bakery and a supermarket.

Hello Oriental will be the first of its kind in the city, having started out as an online supermarket, created by popular local Chinese restaurant Ocean Treasure. The flag ship of the company will be 6000 sq ft in the South Pavillion, a unique subterranean space. This new and exciting venture at the heart of the community will also provide DJs and live music, allowing customers to soak up some much-needed social time after lockdown eases.

The hall will be based at Circle Square situated just off Oxford Road which, when complete, will include more than 1,700 new homes, 1.2 million sq ft of workspace and over 100,000 sq ft of retail and leisure space, including a variety of restaurants, boutiques and bars. Hello Oriental will be joining the development, underneath Symphony Park, which also boasts Canvas, a restaurant and events space, and TRIB3, a specialist fitness studio.
