The interior design of the DAGU RICE NOODLE themed restaurant is a perfect visual feast that harmoniously blends tradition with modernity. The designers have boldly chosen red and metallic colors as the main palette, ingeniously using modern materials to interpret the charm of Chinese characteristics, offering diners an environment that is both familiar and refreshingly novel.



Upon entering the restaurant, one is greeted on the left by a massive golden abacus decoration, which not only serves as a striking piece of art but also symbolizes traditional Chinese wisdom and acumen. Behind it, a red lattice design contrasts beautifully, allowing Eastern elements to quietly flourish within the space. Centrally located, a lion dance patterned decorative painting becomes the focal point, its red base weighty and passionate, infusing the entire space with profound cultural depth and vitality.



The walls feature overlapping eave patterns, inspired by the essence of traditional Chinese architecture. This classic element has been reinterpreted with contemporary techniques, further emphasizing the restaurant's Chinese cultural backdrop. Such a design not only enhances the artistic quality of the space but also allows every visitor to experience the rich aesthetics of traditional Chinese architecture.



Overall, the DAGU RICE NOODLE themed restaurant successfully combines traditional Chinese elements with modern design language through its unique design philosophy, creating a space that conveys the atmosphere of Chinese culinary culture while appealing to contemporary diners. Here, it is not merely a place for dining but also a new venue for experiencing and feeling Chinese culture.
