How This Hot Pot Eatery Appeals to a Younger Clientele
2023 Best of Year Winner for Large Casual Dining
Hot pot eateries abound in Sichuan province. For Chuan Hsi Pa Tzu in Chengdu, China, though part of a decade-old operation, appears spanking new thanks to a rebranding and redesign by HDC Design aimed at cultivating a youthful clientele while creating a setting steeped in Chinese cultural roots. Bamboo references turn up indoors and out as awnings and screens, albeit crafted of lightweight metal and metal mesh (rather than wood and fabric) to comply with fire codes. Sleek and minimalist timber furnishings populate the 5,000 square feet of open and private dining areas, where abundant greenery, nodding to rural landscaping, and an enclosed grill establish an emotional connection to—and new way to experience—a time-honored favorite.
