Health-conscious and vegan-friendly fusion options are particularly popular, while the growth of food delivery services has expanded accessibility. Emerging brands and experiential dining experiences, like interactive hot pot and ramen bars, are also key drivers, offering scope for diversification for a business like Yutu.
