Our story
It began with a stone bowl.
Master Chef Myoung Hee Kim opened a Korean kitchen in Bangkok in 2010, believing that a bowl of food could carry a culture. Bibimbab gave the restaurant its name and shaped its approach to cooking.
The Bibimbab grew across Thailand. Hwaro followed with Korean griddle BBQ, and Hansang is now being prepared as the next brand.
Sixteen years later, we still judge every new dish by the same standard: it should taste like food from a Korean home.
A restaurant group founded to serve Korean food with a balance of flavour and nourishment.
