The combination of high quality food at very reasonable prices is always a winner and Way takes this to the next level by bringing together the mystical magic of the east into a fusion of exotic flavours offering a menu that combines traditional favourites with more contemporary Asian delicacies, and uses only the freshest ingredients selected daily from the markets in Mahón.

Wang’s welcoming front of house skills immediately set you at ease and in the mood to enjoy your dining experience. However, it is his chefs who are the real stars of the show, tempting you with their exotic culinary skills. Chef Wang Shi Pu is a gold medalist in the hot dish category in the 6th World Championships of Chinese cuisine and chef Kunihiro Oki Ono from Osaka has been teaching the secrets of Japanese cuisine to aspiring chefs all over the world, including Barcelona and Madrid.

True to their roots, Wang and Echo ensure the atmosphere at Way is always friendly and the service is efficient and the helpful waiters are happy to talk you through both the Chinese and Japanese menus. The Chinese menu offers a good choice of starters with crispy spring rolls, salads and soups, followed by a wide range of fish, prawn, duck, beef, pork and chicken dishes, including all the favourites such as sweet and sour pork, chicken with almonds and beef in black bean sauce as well as crispy duck, all served the special ‘Way’ way. New for 2012 are the Langostinos de Dragón and special curries with duck, beef or chicken. Main course prices start at €7.60. Also new are the ‘plancha’ specialities with an aubergine casserole and beef, noodle and satay casserole and Chinese specialities such as tofu and salt and pepper squid.

Renowned for its healthy qualities, the Japanese menu has been extended for 2012 with Way Recommendations and House Specialities.
