Lendlease has announced the signings of four East Asian brands at Elephant Park that together will bring an exciting addition to the leisure and dining experience in the neighbourhood.
Esports café Wanyoo, Taiwanese tea specialists YiFang, and restaurant & bar OISOI have taken an inter-connected unit spanning over 6,000sq ft, and will be joined at Elephant Park by sushi and hot food outlet Kokoro.
Wanyoo was founded in 1998 and has since become one of the world’s leading cyber cafés, with over 1,300 locations across four continents. The new Elephant Park site will be the brand’s fourth in the UK, covering 1,917sq ft and seating up to 45 players at any given time, with the latest in Esports technology creating a unique experience for its players.
Specialising in Taiwanese fruit tea, YiFang is set to open its latest London outlet, a 226sq ft unit integrated with Wanyoo, offering its range of fruit teas, fresh milk teas, and the incredibly popular ‘MudFlip’ – a brown sugar pearl milk tea available throughout the day.
Having signed for a 3,968sq ft, 130 cover restaurant, OISOI is Elephant Park’s largest dining outlet to date. As a premium brand, it will provide a brand-new concept of “When East Meets West”, collaborating with Michelin-starred chef Max Castaldo and combining sous vide with traditional wok-fried skills, to present a unique OISOI experience. It will offer extensive choice, from an artisan dim sum lunch and Michelin style afternoon tea, to a formal all day à la carte menu.
Adjacent to 400 Rabbits on Ash Avenue, Kokoro is a Korean-Japanese takeaway focused brand. The 1,000sq ft sushi and bento restaurant seeks to keep food tasty, fresh, and healthy, having expanded significantly throughout the UK since launching in southwest London just over 10 years ago.
