Hubli, 13 January 2026: Chinese Wok, one of India’s leading Desi Chinese QSR brands from Lenexis Foodworks, has announced the opening of its first outlet in Hubli at Inorbit Mall. The launch marks the brand’s entry into one of North Karnataka’s key commercial and education hubs, known for its growing young population, rising mall culture, and increasing preference for organised dining formats.
With this new store, Chinese Wok now operates 36 outlets across Karnataka, including 31 in Bengaluru, and a total of 87 outlets in South India. The brand aims to make its popular Desi Chinese cuisine more accessible to consumers in emerging cities such as Hubli.
South India continues to be a key growth engine for the brand, driven by increasing acceptance of organised QSR dining, strong adoption of food delivery, and high repeat consumption across both metro and Tier-II markets. Karnataka, in particular, has emerged as a key scale-up state beyond metros. The Hubli launch is part of Chinese Wok’s broader strategy to build strong regional clusters across South India by expanding beyond metros into high-potential Tier-II cities.
Inorbit Mall, the largest shopping mall in Hubli, records an average footfall of nearly 5,000 visitors on weekdays and around 10,000 visitors on weekends. From this new location, the kitchen will serve multiple brands under Lenexis Foodworks, including Chinese Wok, Big Bowl, and The Momo Co.
Speaking about the launch, Aayush Madhusudan Agrawal, Founder & Director, Lenexis Foodworks, said, “Hubli is an important market for us, and we are delighted to open our first store here. Cities like Hubli are seeing rapid growth in organised dining and modern QSR formats. Our expansion into such markets is a key part of our strategy. With the new outlet at Inorbit Mall, we look forward to offering residents of Hubli our signature Desi Chinese flavours along with value, convenience, and a high-quality dining experience.”
The new outlet will offer a wide range of popular favourites such as Burnt Garlic Fried Rice, Hakka Noodles, Chowmein, Kurkure Momos, six varieties of sauces, and 12 Saver Combos. New customers can also try the Superbowl starting at ₹99, making it an easy entry point to experience Chinese Wok.
The outlet will be open for dine-in, takeaway, and delivery, serving families, students, office-goers, and shoppers in and around the Inorbit Mall area.
