Bangkok-based studio Onion designed the interior for Eat Rice & Noodle, which is completely made of an ash-colored wood material. This unique concept creates an intoxicating cohesive appearance that looks like a [child's playhouse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-next-agency). Beside the ash-colored interior, the only other color visible in the eatery is the logo, which is a black circle with the brand's name written in the center.

The [monochromatic interior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-carrot) is strictly comprised of balsa wood, which provides a soft light-colored and welcoming hue. The Eat Rice & Noodle restaurant is located in the basement of a food court in the retail complex created by New York firm Leeser Architecture.

The eatery is about 66 square meters and specializes in [Thai food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-basil-market), which is reflective of the name. The ultimate goal for this eatery is to provide a wholesome family-themed appearance while serving healthy and delicious dishes.
