Running a dimsum restaurant is one of the Chinese restaurant models that has gained significant popularity among Vietnamese customers. However, within the competition of this model, it's not enough for a restaurant to offer delicious dishes; possessing an impressive design space is essential to stand out. In this article, let's join KenDesign in exploring the Fung Ha Chinese restaurant design - one of our standout projects that distinctly carries the Chinese essence, amid the substantial competition of this business model!
Overview of the Chinese Restaurant Design Project in Cua Bac - Hanoi
The Fung Ha Chinese restaurant in Cua Bac is the second branch of this brand in Hanoi. KenDesign is honored to have the opportunity to collaborate with the investor on this establishment. Building on the success of the first branch, the investor aims to continue the Chinese restaurant concept, creating an environment that is traditional and inviting for customers to enjoy their meals.
Ideas for the Design of Fung Ha Chinese Restaurant in Cua Bac
The design concept is inspired by the owner's love for Hong Kong cuisine and the desire to bring a fresh experience to customers. Fung Ha Chinese restaurant aims to establish an affordable dining model to cater to a diverse clientele, leading to the selection of a simple and unpretentious design style.
However, within this competitive segment, the restaurant still needs an attractive design to draw in customers. With dimsum as the main cuisine and a Chinese theme, the investor can opt for budget-friendly yet durable materials like wood and iron. Wood, in particular, is suitable due to its cost-effectiveness and aesthetic value.
Traditional Chinese restaurant designs always prioritize the use of wood materials to evoke a sense of warmth and familiarity for diners. Guests feel comfortable, at ease, and naturally as if they were dining at home. In traditional design styles, the restaurant can be adorned with large folding screens depicting Chinese culture, creating a lasting impression on guests from their very first glance.
Additionally, using creatively designed pendant lights can set the establishment apart from other design styles. The investor aims for Fung Ha Chinese restaurant to exude an exquisite beauty through intricate and captivating decorative patterns, adding an element of sophistication
Scientific Interior Space Arrangement
During the design process of Fung Ha Chinese restaurant, which spans two floors with parallel facades, we focused on arranging the space to accommodate the desired capacity. The investor aims to maximize the area for this section. However, overcrowding tables too closely together can make diners feel uncomfortable, impede privacy, and impact meal quality. Therefore, the architects will calculate the area proportions and table density to ensure a suitable arrangement. This guarantees free movement, while maintaining ample spacing between tables to avoid any interference.
With the flexible space arrangement that can easily accommodate small groups or large parties, experienced architects at KenDesign have divided the area for convenience, feng shui, finances, and the investor's usage requirements. Scientifically arranging Fung Ha Chinese restaurant at Cua Bac makes it visually appealing and more attractive to customers. Additionally, this intelligent arrangement also maximizes space efficiency. As a result, the restaurant has a large capacity with a well-organized interior layout, providing better revenue opportunities.

Interior Furniture Seating
The design of Fung Ha Chinese restaurant prioritizes the seating system to offer comfort to customers while enjoying their meals. The choice of furniture should include simple and aesthetically pleasing designs, often used for single seats or tables for 2 to 4 people.
Moreover, for mid-range restaurants, investing in budget-friendly yet durable materials like wood and iron is a good option. Among these, wood is the most suitable material, both in terms of cost and aesthetic value, complemented by red cushions for added comfort without overwhelming the overall space. This creates a fitting environment for gatherings with friends and family.
For a Chinese dining boat, the design is often chosen to reflect Chinese culture, with wood as the predominant material, combined with other elements such as rattan, iron, and more. The restaurant selects a variety of seating styles, including sofa seats combined with single chairs, creating a diverse dining environment. The suitable decor details for this restaurant encapsulate a distinct East Asian atmosphere.
Impressive Chinese Spirit Decoration
The interior decoration of Fung Ha Chinese restaurant should embrace traditional elements like Chinese patterns, lanterns, and more. While designs inspired by Chinese culture can be intricate, they still manage to convey warmth and sophistication. Traditional roof details with intricate patterns, or chairs and tables crafted from wood with antique designs, will undoubtedly create an exceptionally striking atmosphere for the restaurant.
Moreover, decor elements such as paintings depicting Hong Kong culture can further emphasize the traditional essence of the restaurant. Given the limited horizontal space, the clever use of reflective mirrors creates a unique visual effect that expands the perspective and adds to the spaciousness of the dining area.
The completion of the decoration phase enhances the visual appeal of the restaurant and increases its aesthetic value. When it comes to decorating a Chinese restaurant, the details should carry traditional cultural symbols to make the space more harmonious. Lanterns are a familiar and longstanding element in Chinese cultural traditions. Therefore, hanging strings of lanterns as decor in the restaurant serves as an additional Chinese highlight. These lanterns can be creatively designed, along with impressive pendant lights.
Dominant Colors in Chinese Restaurant Design
When discussing Chinese architectural style, red and gold are the dominant and distinctive colors. These hues are closely associated with Chinese restaurants. Thus, when designing a Chinese restaurant, the investor should opt for red as the primary color for both the interior and exterior spaces. Red can be used for chairs, decorations, and should occupy around 50%-70% of the restaurant's area.
However, with any design, using only one color can make the space monotonous and uninspiring. The same applies to Chinese-style restaurants; the investor should incorporate an accent color, taking up about 10% of the area. The color gold would be an excellent choice for this purpose, as in Chinese culture, it symbolizes prosperity and beauty.
Another vital aspect in the design of Fung Ha Chinese restaurant is the lighting arrangement, serving both the needs of customers and the convenience of staff. The primary source of light utilized by the investor is electric lighting. However, as Chinese restaurants often incorporate wood materials, achieving natural lighting can be challenging. In this case, utilizing the restaurant's door system for ventilation can create an open and inviting atmosphere.
To enhance the beauty of the restaurant, attract customers, and meet evening needs, the lighting system is crucial. The investor should use warm yellow light instead of white light as seen in conventional designs. Since Fung Ha Chinese restaurant embodies a vintage, traditional charm, warm yellow lighting will accentuate the space's beauty and make customers feel more comfortable.
The project to design the Chinese restaurant "Fung Ha" with an impressive design space will surely be an attractive destination for many customers to come and enjoy Chinese cuisine. In order to create a complete restaurant design, it's not just about the appearance, but also about considering every aspect such as functionality and convenience. If you want to own a restaurant that is not only beautiful but also highly practical, Ken Design - an expert in restaurant and cafe design - believes that they will bring you the best values.
