The location faces "Phan Kế Bính Street".

This street is a popular Japanese street in Hanoi city these days. It is also popular with Europeans and Americans and is a lively place.

"BISTRO NIQ" is based on the concept of [dining that not only satisfies your stomach, but also satisfies your mind and heart] with a focus on ingredients.

I thought about the design with the theme of ~ a healthy dining where you can meet the real thing ~.

The owner himself was full of expectations and hopes as it was his first overseas store.

However, since this was my first overseas business, I also wanted to keep the investment as low as possible.

Therefore, rather than [building a new one], I thought of a method of [showing the broken state as it is!].

In other words, I incorporated a lot of the concept of subtraction.

The configuration of "WILD & COOL" cut costs while retaining an industrial feel. We aimed to strengthen the image of a “steak restaurant” and produced a “sizzle feeling”.

In addition, using recycled materials and waste materials, we also selected MATERIAL in the direction of "cutting costs while creating a cool finish!"
