Where to Eat Korean Food in Vienna, Vienna, Austria

Korean cuisine is becoming more popular not only since Hallyu – the “wave” of K-Pop and K-dramas that has overrun other parts of the world – and the recent Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, but also people recognized the positive health effects of a Korean diet. Kimchi, garlic, ginger and rice are the healthy and basic ingredients of almost any Korean meal. Thanks to my heritage, Korean food has been my companion since my early childhood days and we used to visit Korean restaurants regularly as a family. I remember, 20 years ago the range of restaurants in Vienna was very limited, but that has changed a lot by today. Fortunately for all lovers of Bibimbab, Bulgogi and Kimchi, there’s much more of a choice today and I created a list of my favourite Korean restaurants in Vienna:

I could not start this article without mentioning Vienna’s very first Korean restaurant that bravely stepped into Vienna’s very conservative culinary scene almost 30 years ago. I used to go there quite a lot when I was a child. Not necessarily much has changed ever since: Classic Korean BBQ which you’ll grill at your table is a popular dining experience that is especially nice with a bunch of friends or family. And even if you’re not into BBQ, you’ll find plenty of other options, including sushi and sashimi, on their menu. – see website ......
