Pacific Plaza
Pacific Plaza was an Oriental shopping and food court complex situated in Wembley, London. It closed in April 2011. It aimed to be similar to Oriental City at 399 Edgware Road, but was much smaller and has much fewer facilities and shops.
Pacific Plaza opened on 5 December 2009 and had numerous restaurants and food court outlets, with an oriental supermarket which was due to open in early March 2010 but never opened. The popular Japanese tableware and ceramics store, Utsuwa-no-Yakata, previously at Oriental City reopened under the new name of Doki Ltd.
The Plaza was situated in Wembley Retail Park, Engineers Way, Wembley, Middlesex, HA9 0EG, which was a short walk away from Wembley Park tube station.
Ground Floor
Several businesses were open on the ground floor.
- Doki - this was the Japanese crockery shop which used to trade as Utsuwa-No-Yakata in Oriental City.
- Tetote Factory - a Japanese bakery. It also sold hot drinks.
- O's Beauty - A beauty salon.
- 8am Healthcare Ltd - Acupuncture and Chinese medicine.
- Ceramics shop - Sold products such as large vases.
