A new Asian restaurant is due to take over a long vacant unit at a mall in Reading town centre.
The Village, formerly known as King’s Walk, is located at the start of King Street.
Units in the mall are starting to fill up, with an Asian food company called JeiLi Restaurant due to take over Unit 7 of the mall.
The unit is located between My Warsaw Polish street food and the Banh Mi QB Vietnamese restaurant on the ground floor.
No external work on the unit has taken place yet, with advertising for a bar restaurant remaining.
Ahead of opening, JeiLi Restaurant has applied to sell alcohol on and off the premises from 11am to 11pm Monday to Sunday.
The application has been submitted to Reading Borough Council’s licensing department.
You can make a representation by emailing licensing@reading.gov.uk .
