Westfield Valley Fair, the home of Northern California’s only Eataly, will welcome another expansive culinary emporium later this year: Asia Live.

The couple behind the ambitious China Live in San Francisco, noted restaurateurs George Chen and Cindy Wong-Chen, announced their new venture Tuesday.

“Establishing our first Asia Live in the heart of Silicon Valley is a natural progression from our success with China Live, as we expand our culinary focus to encompass the broader Asian continent,” George Chen said in a statement. “We transformed perceptions of Chinese cuisine in America by highlighting the rich diversity of Greater China’s regional flavors, and now we aim to broaden that perspective to all of Asia, reminiscent of our pioneering work with Betelnut in 1995.”

The Asia Live at the San Jose mall, the chef said, will offer an “immersive exploration” of all Asian cuisines through a diverse restaurant menu, retail marketplace and interactive experiences. Diners will be able to watch chefs fill dumplings, for example, roll sushi and make curry.

The first two dishes on the Valley Fair menu are sure to be his S.F. bestsellers — Sheng Jian Bao, the pork dumplings, and the Peking Duck, roasted and served with a seasonal fruit glaze. He launched the first phase of his 30,000-square-foot modern food hall in March 2017, opening the Market Restaurant and Bar Central, the Oolong Cafe and a retail Marketplace with spices, condiments, cutlery and cookware. In October of that year, Eight Tables, an ode to Chinese private chateau cuisine or shifan tsai, made its debut. The final addition — Chen’s rooftop bar and lounge — came the next year.

The architecture company that designed the China Live flagship, Berkeley’s DMARCstudio, will transform Valley Fair’s former iChina space into the new concept, which will feature sushi and robata stations, tandoori ovens and an Indonesian rice table. Multiple food and beverage areas will accommodate small and large dining groups. And there are plans for a rooftop terrace.

A fall 2025 opening is envisioned.

The swanky iChina restaurant closed last October after four years in business. The restaurant had offered opulent dining spaces, a glittering lounge, chandelier-lit restrooms and four private dining rooms, including one that immersed guests in a virtual reality experience.

The 2021 debut of iChina marked the halfway point for the creation of Westfield Valley Fair’s Restaurant Collection, which is built around an open-air plaza. The upscale King’s Fish House, Shake Shack, Salt & Straw and San Francisco’s AnQi Shaken & Stirred (in Bloomingdale’s) opened during that period.

After that, the Italian food emporium Eataly, with three floors of food, wine and retail offerings; Mastro’s steakhouse; and Korean barbecue restaurant Baekjeong joined the collection. A popular Canadian-based restaurant, Joey, will open this year.
