UP to 20 jobs are to be created when a new restaurant opens in Tralee town centre early next month.

Lana Asian Street Food, which has a restaurant in Galway and two in Limerick, is opening at a premises in Ashe Street which was previously The Dragon Inn and later the Royal Palace Chinese restaurants.

Area manager, Sean Crawford, told TraleeToday.ie that the Tralee outlet will create 20 jobs and the restaurant will be open by August 10 if not sooner.

“It’s a more casual dining experience and affordable with all main courses priced €8 or below. While it is a restaurant the food is served in takeaway boxes. We have a beer and wine licence too and a machine where customers can make their own ice-cream, so there’s a fun, laid-back element,” said Sean.

They are currently advertising for jobs and applicants can visit their Facebook page (click here) and enquire about the positions by private messaging them for details.

The restaurant chain is owned by Stephen Lin and Michael Li who opened Kaya restaurant in Limerick in 2014. The businessmen opened their first Lana Asian Street Food restaurant in Salthill, Galway a year and a half ago.

Within the last six months they have opened two restaurants in Raheen and Castletroy in Limerick, while another outlet in Ennis is due to open this month.
