As India steps into the festive season, Chinese Wok, the country’s largest home-grown Desi Chinese quick service restaurant brand — has launched a bold new campaign that transforms everyday confusion into a craving.
Titled “Chinese Bole Toh, Chinese Wok,” the campaign humorously spotlights the common tendency to mix up the names of Chinese eateries. Each short film dramatizes these relatable slip-ups in playful, slice-of-life moments, before landing on the catchy punchline: “Chinese Bole Toh, Chinese Wok.”
The campaign aims to strengthen the brand’s recall as India’s go-to destination for Desi Chinese cravings, particularly during the country’s peak food, festival, and cricket season.
The films are being showcased across major OTT platforms, social media channels, and broadcast events, including the ongoing cricket season, ensuring high visibility among audiences nationwide.
Aayush Madhusudan Agrawal, Founder & Director, Lenexis Foodworks, said, “Over the last decade, Chinese Wok has become synonymous with how India enjoys Desi Chinese,bold flavours, youthful energy, and everyday indulgence. With this campaign, we’re not just launching an ad; we’re taking a leadership stance. ‘Chinese Bole Toh, Chinese Wok’ is a cultural hook that will define how the category is remembered and recalled for years to come.”
While the short films form the creative core, the campaign extends into influencer collaborations, AR-led in-store experiences, digital challenges, and cultural partnerships, making it a multi-platform engagement built for today’s youth-driven audiences.
Currently operating 240+ outlets across 45+ cities, Chinese Wok continues to expand rapidly, targeting 500 outlets by 2027. With this campaign, the brand reinforces its position as India’s most recognized Desi Chinese QSR — inviting the country to laugh, share, and indulge their next craving with Chinese Wok.
