Kintsugi plates are more of a Japanese thing, no?
The food looks delicious! The restaurant seems to like using Kintsugi-style plates. Kintsugi, the art of Kintsugi is an art of joining broken pottery with urushi lacquer (often with gold powder suspended in the urushi lacquer). It's part of the wabi-sabi culture of Japan - wabi-sabi is a term that basically denotes finding beauty in imperfection. A damaged and broken plate being considered "imperfect" and the golden urushi lacquer used to fix it as considered as a beautiful method to fix a broken plate. To my knowledge, this is a Japanese more than a Chinese practice.
