            Multi-million Dollar Multi-complex Restaurant Coming to Callahan Road

Who? Phillip and Louise Lim, owners of the highly successful Asia Café North and Asia Café West,  announced this week that they are planning to build a new restaurant, the (Where?) New Asia Café, at 1708 North Callahan Drive. (near Jubilee)

What? The proposed 12,270 square feet building will include a Hibachi grill, state-of-the-art kitchen with ample prep and storage rooms, as well as a Karaoke bar,  spacious front and a rear patios,  a Sushi bar and separate dining facilities for Western-style foods (steaks and potatoes), Mexican, Italian and Asian Dining, along with a 192 square feet dance floor.

(When?) Lim said that the time has come for this expansion. Asia Café will leave their current location at the corner of 6714-B North Central Avenue by July 2015.

Customers for the new facility can expect to see more of the popular LED lighting and live music. An outdoor theatre is planned for the new multi-level complex that will include solar power.

(Why?)“Louise and I are truly excited,” he said. “This is something we have been dreaming about for quite a while. We have enjoyed the planning process. It is awesome to see our ideas come to life. We are doing everything we can to make our new building beautiful as well an environmentally friendly. We have already been working with TVA for help with solar energy.”

“Our loyal customers can expect changes that we think they are going to truly enjoy,” he said.  “Perhaps the best one will be the addition of  a supervised plan room for children that will include an arcade. Parents will not have to stay at home if they cannot find a babysitter. We will provide fun and games for the boys and girls while Mom and Dad enjoy dancing, dining or both.“

Other changes foreseen for the New Asia Café include more restrooms, more parking spaces,  separation to provide dining in some quiet areas of the building while others are participating in Karaoke or dancing to live music. There will also be a break room and separate restrooms for the staff. The plans were drawn by Benjamin Conway Garlington, Architect & Associates of Knoxville.

When asked when he expects the building to be completed, Lim said that the estimated date of completion is July 2015.

Lim said that the New Asia Café will require more employees, thus supplying more jobs for Knoxvillians. He is always on the lookout for good cooks who know how to prepare authentic Malaysian, Japanese/Sushi, Thai, Vietnamese, and Chinese dishes.
