Neon-lit Asian restaurant inspired by Hong Kong cinema, serving noodles, dim sum & cocktails in a cinematic urban setting

Luckee Yu is a contemporary Asian restaurant in Almaty, designed as a cultural journey into the neon-lit streets of modern Asia. Inspired by Hong Kong’s cinematic nightlife and Wong Kar-wai’s films, the project merges gastronomy with storytelling, creating a space where food, design, and culture converge

The interiors are bold and cinematic: yellow, red, and violet neon signs set the rhythm, while Asian movie posters and reflective partitions amplify the narrative. Scandinavian-inspired furniture, natural wood tables, and industrial lighting balance the vibrancy with comfort. By day, the restaurant feels relaxed and playful; by night, it transforms into a vibrant social hub

The menu focuses on shareable modern Asian street food: handmade noodles and dumplings, wok specialties, bao, and creative small plates. The cocktail program highlights yuzu, lemongrass, and Asian teas, connecting flavors with the design’s cultural fusion.

Luckee Yu appeals to a young, creative, and socially active audience — trendsetters, expats, and design-savvy locals. More than dining, it offers an immersive cultural experience that is as photogenic as it is flavorful.
