Detailed Information

Emerging as a new dining experience, this Asian restaurant chain redefines culinary spaces with its innovative and breath-taking design, seamlessly blending traditional Asian elements with modern aesthetics. 

As you step into YouMee, your eyes are immediately drawn upwards to an extraordinary spectacle of hanging scrolls cascading from the ceiling adorned with vibrant anime, infusing the space with drama and energy while the walls speaks a silent language, adorned with embossed Japanese scriptures whispering the names of delicate dishes. Each stroke on the wall is a nod to traditions and a respectful homage to the culinary roots that inspires the menu.

The integration of manga, a prominent element in the design, captivates diners with its dynamic storytelling and vivid characters while the striking colour palette of white, black, red, and gold, deeply symbolic to the Asian cultures weaves through the space, representing elements like purity, mystery, passion, and prosperity. As natural light filters through metal perforations at the entrance, it creates a mesmerizing dance of light and shadow, reminiscent of the dappled sunlight filtering through bamboo forests. This interplay of light brings a dynamic energy to the space, constantly changing and evolving with the day.

"Inspired by the graceful arrangement of dominoes, the flooring brings an element of playful sophistication, seamlessly tying together the traditional and contemporary themes that run through the restaurant."

In this design symphony, every element plays a distinct role, contributing to the celebration of the vibrant essence of Asia with a modern twist. YouMee transcends the boundaries of conventional restaurant design, offering not only a feast for the senses but an immersive journey into the rich tapestry of Asian culture. It’s more than a dining experience; it’s a visual and gastronomic adventure that beckons patrons to savour the fusion of flavours, culture, and design at every turn. YouMee stands as a testament to the art of blending tradition and innovation, creating a unique space where the spirit of Asia comes to life in every detail.
