OKKO builds “Meiwei” network of pan-Asian restaurants

The OKKO Group Holding has already opened the third Meiwei restaurant in Kyiv. Now it is open to visitors of the Gulliver mall, one of the largest metropolitan shopping centers. By the end of the year, plans include increasing the number of restaurants in Ukraine to ten. New Pan-Asian cuisine venues will appear not only in Kyiv, but also in Lviv and Odessa.  

"The trend towards pan-Asian cuisine appeared in Ukraine a few years ago, but it was represented predominantly in the premium segment. But, while creating the concept of Meiwei, we tried to show that this cuisine is not only tasty, but can also be affordable,” says Andrew Yanchuk, Head of OKKO’s restaurant business. To do this, we offer our clients several formats of Meiwei, including a restaurant at gas stations, a city-style dining venue, and a food court. It’s up to everyone to choose the most convenient option for themselves”.

Previously, the Meiwei brand had already opened a restaurant at the OKKO filling complexes located at 4a Novokostyantinivska St. in Kyiv (in December 2015) and the first city-style restaurant in the heart of the capital, located at 23 Velyka Vasylkivska St. (in operation since November 2017). In addition, since 2017, Kyiv residents can order the food delivery service to their home or office through the Meiwei network. According to Andriy Yanchuk, pan-Asian cuisine has good prospects in Ukraine and the growing popularity of the Meiwei brand is a clear indication of this trend. Thus, in the years since the first restaurant began working, it has been visited by over 250 thousand guests, with 60% of them becoming regular customers.

The new (and already the third) Meiwei venue can be visited on the 5th floor of the Gulliver shopping center (1a Sport Square at the "Palace of Sports" metro station). Its feature is an express format. The menu includes dishes that take a few minutes to make. Guests can have a snack while shopping or enjoy a full lunch or dinner.
