Showing around The Northern Echo before its grand opening, General Manager Lucy Nguyen spoke of how excited the team was to expand.
"We always wanted to expand our business and we found out that Darlington is a big place that didn't have many sit-in Asian restaurants," Lucy said.
"It was exactly what we were looking for and a chance for us to give customers a new experience they've never had before."
