The search is on for a new home for one of the Philadelphia metro area’s top Asian restaurants. Win Hospitality is on the hunt for a new storefront for its beloved concept, Azie on Main, reports the Philadelphia Business Journal.

The eatery spent 15 years at its former location at 789 East Lancaster Avenue, before the landlord opted to convert the building into office space in September. 

Win’s co-CEOs Pearl and Paul Somboonsong have been courting potential spots but have not yet chosen a home for Azie. The pair are committed to finding the best possible location. Pearl states “We really want to be selective on choosing the next spot.”

The Somboonsongs are exploring options both in and out of Villanova. The duo are open to adapting the Azie model to the right space, whether that means scaling down to a smaller space or adopting a more casual approach to the formal dining experience the concept previously offered.
