Materials 

A soothing neutral palette of warm whites, white oak details, and clean lines welcome guests into a light and airy space, while the signature terrazzo and yellow mosaic tile create a sense of movement and flow

Retail 

Small batch market goods from Good To Eat & friends welcome guests as they enter the space

Capturing a subtle sense of nostalgia, the metal screen that sets off a small retail area is inspired by the intricate patterns of metal window screens throughout Taiwan.

Instead of traditional geometric shapes, the design features laser-cut dumpling graphics drawn by the chef herself. This fresh, playful design element captures a reinvented sense of home, connecting guests to the cuisine’s makers.
