Client Background

Yoshinoya is a world-famous Japanese fast-food chain best known for its signature beef bowls (Gyudon) and quick, friendly service. Established in 1899 in Tokyo, the brand has grown to over 2,000 locations worldwide. With its focus on healthy, affordable, and tasty Japanese meals, Yoshinoya attracts both busy professionals and families. To support its expansion into Mainland China, Yoshinoya wanted a modern restaurant design that respects its Japanese roots while appealing to local dining preferences.

Our Solution

To meet Yoshinoya’s needs for a modern, functional, and brand-consistent restaurant in China, we delivered a comprehensive design solution covering layout, furniture, and ambiance:

3D Visual Presentation

Before any work began, we provided high-resolution 3D renderings covering wall colors, flooring, furniture, lighting effects, and traffic flow. This ensured Yoshinoya could confirm the final look before construction.

Overall Space Planning

Based on the 3D design, we developed a clear layout dividing the ordering area, dining space, and take-out section. Wide walkways improved both customer movement and staff efficiency.

Zoned Seating Design

The restaurant was divided into three zones: booth seating along walls for families, central standard tables for groups, and window-facing bar counters for solo diners, balancing comfort and functionality.

Custom Dining Furniture

We supplied tables with light wood laminate tops that resist scratches and stains, supported by black powder-coated steel bases. Chairs featured solid wood frames and cushioned orange seats to reflect Yoshinoya’s brand identity.
