The Kimchi餐厅,捷克 / SOA architekti
The Kimchi 餐厅位于布拉格马萨里克火车站(Masaryk Railway Station)旁,占据了一处由原糕点店改造而来的空间,并在一定程度上保留了原有的空间布局。
The Kimchi restaurant is located next to Prague’s Masaryk Railway Station, occupying the premises of a former pastry shop while partially preserving its original spatial layout.

该项目由一对韩国夫妻设计完成。对于他们而言,The Kimchi 既是一项个人创业实践,也是日常生活方式的自然延伸。他们希望将一种真实的韩国街头美食带到布拉格——它快速便捷,同时保持新鲜、正宗,并以毫不妥协的态度追求品质。餐厅每日准备新鲜食材,并有意限制每日供应数量,使其呈现出一种更具个人化体验的餐饮特质。
The project was created by a Korean husband-and-wife team for whom The Kimchi is both a personal venture and a natural extension of their everyday life. Their ambition was to bring an authentic version of Korean street food to Prague—fast and accessible, yet fresh, genuine, and prepared with uncompromising attention to quality. Ingredients are prepared daily and the number of servings is intentionally limited, giving the restaurant the character of a personal culinary experience.

餐厅的运营概念被划分为两个相互关联的区域。新鲜食材的处理与基础烹饪准备在后厨完成,而每一道菜品的最终组装则在服务柜台前进行,并完全展现在顾客视线之中。这种方式既保证了高效的工作流程,也维持了食材的新鲜度与料理的真实性,同时建立起厨房与访客之间直接而紧密的联系。
The operational concept is divided into two interconnected zones. Fresh ingredients and primary food preparation take place in the back-of-house kitchen, while the final assembly of each dish happens at the serving counter in full view of the guests. This approach ensures an efficient workflow while maintaining freshness, authenticity, and a direct connection between the kitchen and its visitors.

空间的视觉与功能概念由建筑师、平面设计师以及业主共同协作完成。室内设计从韩国饮食传统、当代流行文化以及首尔充满活力的视觉氛围中汲取灵感。贯穿整个餐厅的核心设计元素是一种动态波浪形态,其灵感隐约来源于韩国国旗,并延伸至餐厅的各个部分——从外部标识、服务柜台,到墙面上的图形设计。
The visual and functional concept was developed through close collaboration between the architects, the graphic designer, and the clients. The interior draws inspiration from Korean culinary traditions, contemporary pop culture, and the vibrant visual energy of Seoul. The central design motif is a dynamic wave, loosely inspired by the Korean flag, which flows throughout the restaurant—from the exterior signage and serving counter to the graphics applied on the walls.

空间色彩体系围绕蓝色、红色与橙色之间鲜明的对比关系展开。蓝色统一了桌面、长凳座椅、墙面饰面以及灯光细节;而白色瓷砖网格中的红色填缝,以及柜台上方具有肌理感的橙色网状材料,则为空间注入活力、层次感与独特的视觉识别。
The colour palette is built around the bold contrast of blue, red, and orange. Blue unifies the tables, bench seating, wall finishes, and lighting details, while the red grout within the grid of white tiles and the textured orange mesh above the counter bring energy, depth, and a distinctive visual identity to the space.

The Kimchi 餐厅以一种全新的视角诠释高品质快餐。顾客可以在开放式厨房中观看餐食最终制作过程,也可以从多样化的座位选择中找到适合自己的位置——无论是充满活力的临窗座位,还是共享式混凝土餐桌——或者简单地将餐食打包带走。餐厅将城市餐饮所需的快速效率,与新鲜品质、个人故事以及独特的建筑体验结合在一起。
The Kimchi presents a fresh perspective on quality fast food. Guests can watch the final preparation of their meals in the open kitchen, choose from a variety of seating options—from dynamic window seating to a communal concrete table—or simply take their meal to go. The restaurant combines the speed of urban dining with freshness, a personal story, and a distinctive architectural experience.
