- Manchu Wok
-
Manchu Wok is a Chinese fast food chain in the United States and Canada, similar in concept to Panda Express. Despite the name, the menu does not feature any dishes from traditional Manchurian Cuisine and instead is mostly made up of American Chinese cuisine and Canadian Chinese cuisine. The first store was opened by Hong Kong immigrants in 1980 with the first location in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. The 200 store chain operates primarily in mall locations. It is owned by Hong Kong based Cafe de Coral Holdings Ltd.
In 2003 and 2004, it expanded its operations to United States military bases in Santa Rita, Guam and Okinawa, Japan, respectively. It also has location on a U.S. Army garrison in Korea,[1] and Ramstein Air Base in Germany.[2]
First Manchu Wok stores were open in Canada in the early 1980s by Dr. Jack Lew who used the services of Food Service Equipment Consultant, Alfred Grech, a Maltese immigrant in Canada who designed and built the first 33 stores.
