The ambiance of Mini K restaurant, defers from its brother Major K, makes you feel like drinking here after work with your friends. Both of the restaurants were designed by Ontology Studio. Mini K and Major K feature the “new Korean style restaurant” in Taipei, making it possible to have a relaxing and fashionable Korean meal without worrying the smoke and the smell that can attach to your clothes. Major K locates in the exclusive area in the city.

It serves classy à la carte meal and features icy grey color tone across the whole interior design. On the other hand, mini K, the second restaurant of the owner, locates in an energetic commercial area where young people gather to have fun with their friends, and provides set-meals with a reasonable price. To make the place younger and more relaxing, the designer use more wood and added a little drop of bright color by placing a set of modern style red iron chairs. Designer also sets orange spot lights to bring out the mood, encouraging people to have a nice chat here.
