Zhen Long Located in Walnut Creek, CA – is well known in the area for its unique Asian and Pacific culinary dishes as well as its upscale dining experience, thanks in large part to Tom Banis’ trend setting restaurant design. It was a complete restaurant design and one of the first ever updated Chinese restaurants. The older style interior was completely redone with a vibrant wash of orange found in the materials for the chairs, sofa, sisal carpet and draperies, and the natural bamboo carried in from the exterior garden and into the furniture design. Antique items were carefully placed on the walls and throughout the restaurant to tie the restaurants heritage to its more modern interior.
