Wok Chi Opens, Serves 'Authentic' Chinese Fare
The first of its kind in the nation, Wok Chi opens in Brandon, with a May 11 benefit for the Brandon Sports and Aquatic Center.
The Wok Chi at the Regency Square shopping center is open after a special grand opening "community celebration" for the Brandon Sports and Aquatic Center, which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary as a Greater Brandon area fixture.
At the May 11 Wok Chi benefit, restaurant founders, promoters, employees and diners talked about the store's concept, roots and menu offerings, with the words "fresh" and "authentic" used liberally.

"It's healthy, it's fresh, it's unique and the food is great," Burgess said. "It's a great concept and the Brandon area is going to embrace it."
