Shadow 3 is located in the DaZhi Shopping District and features a theme of "ink black". Not only is everything black, but they also try to convey a visually simple, "no colour, no look" kind of ambiance. As you enter this mysterious place and try to adjust to the darkness, you will be greeted by the staff. With your night vision settled in, you will admire how light and shadows work together to create a unique setting. Visit their website for a taste of what this place is like. The manager says, "We are not trying to be deliberately mystifying; we are trying to put our emphasis on giving customers the good food they deserve."
