# Vibrant Vietnamese Noodle Bars The Newest 'NamNam' Noodle Bar is Located in Indonesia By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-12-07 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/namnam References: [retaildesignblog.net](http://retaildesignblog.net/2016/12/06/namnam-noodle-bar-by-metaphor-interior-architecture-jakarta-indonesia/) & [the-metaphor](http://www.the-metaphor.com/) The newest location of NamNam Noodle Bar is Jakarta, Indonesia and the space was designed by 'Metaphor Interior Architecture.' The restaurant location clearly has authentic Vietnamese influences in its design, despite the fact that it is a chain restaurant. In designing this space, Metaphor Interior Architecture has the goal of reflecting a "[nostalgic street setting in Vietnam](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tien-giang-house)." The [dynamic space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caf-tondo) has plenty of decor, with everything from [flowery murals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nelumbo) and woven bamboo to lanterns and Vietnamese coffee information decorating the walls and ceilings throughout. The NamNam Noodle Bar's design incorporates some of the cultural influences of Vietnam into its space and as a result, appears to be much more authentic than most chain restaurants tend to be. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Authenticity in Chain Restaurants:** Designing chain restaurant spaces with authentic cultural influences can attract more customers and increase revenue. - **Cultural Fusion in Interior Design:** Incorporating the cultural influences of multiple countries in interior design can create unique and dynamic spaces. - **Nostalgic Street Setting:** Creating restaurant design that reflects a nostalgic street setting can appeal to customers seeking a unique and authentic experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Restaurant Industry:** Many chain restaurants could benefit from incorporating authentic cultural design elements into their spaces. - **Interior Design Industry:** Interior designers could explore the trend of cultural fusion in their work. - **Tourism Industry:** Nostalgic street settings in restaurants can appeal to tourists seeking a unique and authentic cultural experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intimate Noodle Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calgary-noodle-bar.md) - [Bamboo Screen-Wrapped Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nh-t-garden-restaurant.md) - [Irregularly Shaped Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-red-tiger.md) - [Conceptually Transformed Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nami-restaurant.md) - [Youthful Restaurant Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-next-agency.md) - [Bed-Filled Vietnamese Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chidori.md) - [Cross Cultural-Inspired Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nnaka.md) - [Sloped Concrete Roofed Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aruma-restaurant.md) - [Tree-Nestled Bar Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stalk-treehugger.md)
