UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 298 Nikuya Kitchen TST is Japanese BBQ restaurant which was relocated from Central to Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong.
The overall design of the space was inspired by American Diner, such as black and white patterned tiles, white metro tile and light bulb messages.
