The Cosmo Restaurant Group is opening is fourth Yorkshire branch this month after investing £1m in its new outlet in York.
The buffet restaurant, which will seat 220 diners, is opening next month on the site of the former Argos store
The outlet will feature eight live cooking stations, serving food inspired by cuisine from India, China, Japan, Vietnam, Brazil, Italy and Thailand.
James Brion, creative director at COSMO, praised regeneration schemes in York, which he say attracted the brand to the city.
Cosmos follows openings in the city centre by Byron and Banyan, plus Carluccio's which operates an outlet within Fenwick.
Cosmos, which operates 15 other eat-all-you-want world cuisine banqueting restaurants across the country, has Yorkshire branches in Doncaster, Leeds and Sheffield.
