Bang Bang
London’s Biggest Asian Food
Hall Launches Summer 2017
The highly anticipated Stiff + Trevillion designed Bang
Bang Oriental will open in summer 2017 in North
London. The eco-friendly venue will bring a pan-
Asian culinary experience and cultural entertainment
concept to the capital. Bang Bang Oriental will
encompass a food court, restaurant, shopping
experience and community space - all under one roof.
North London’s hottest new destination will celebrate
Asia’s vibrant culture with 33 individual kiosks offering
an eclectic mix of Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Indian,
Vietnamese, Singaporean, Taiwanese and Malaysian
cuisine. This sophisticated and affordable food court,
seating up to 450 guests, will bring the energy and
authentic vibe of an Asian Street Food Market to
the area.
Richard Blandy, Director of Stiff + Trevillion said:
“The Bang Bang concept layers a contemporary filter
over the pan-Asian culinary experience and Stiff +
Trevillion found it an incredibly exciting project to
work on. With 33 individual kiosks, each unique in
their offering but elevationally homogenous in the
overall aesthetic, the scheme brings a stylish coherence
to the hustle and bustle of an authentic street
food market.
“The design emphasis is on clean lines and eastern
minimalism, utilising robust natural materials and
a muted pallet that is peppered with the colours of
the orient. Timber is celebrated and the signature
diagonal tiling draws the Bang Bang brand into the
architecture.”
The exciting new hub will also be home to the
stylish Golden Dragon flagship restaurant. The 300
cover restaurant will offer dim sum lunches with an
extensive traditional Chinese menu in the evening.
There will be four separate retail units on the
mezzanine floor beside the community space,
including Chinese massage and herbal medicine, and
nail and beauty boutiques. There will also be indoor
and outdoor spaces for community events, cookery
classes, and cultural activities such as Lion dancing.
The community spaces will be available for residents to
hire for free for up to 60 hours a week. There will also
be a children’s play area.
‘Bang Bang Oriental Food Hall’ translates as ‘Good
Good Oriental Food Hall’ in Mandarin. The venue,
which will be open all day from 11am until 10pm, will
be located next to Morrisons and will share the car

parking facility.
Bang Bang Oriental is a green initiative so
sustainability is important to the site. The venue will
feature state-of-the-art technology such as a bio-fuel
cylinder (costing £85K) which will collect food
waste for energy regeneration, thus reducing carbon
emissions. Award-winning architects Stiff + Trevillion
are undertaking the transformation of the building
and landscaped outdoor area. The design will fuse
minimalism and oriental culture to create an iconic
building within the local landscape.
