Korean Restaurants in Mumbai

Korean food in Mumbai isn’t as widespread as some other cuisines, but there are some spots that really get it right. You won’t find a ton of places, but those that exist focus on delivering genuine flavors , with kimchi, bibimbap, and Korean BBQ topping the list.

Places like Han Kook Kwan in Andheri West have been around for years and still draw a steady crowd who swear by their spicy pork bulgogi and sizzling stone pot dishes. If you’re around lower Parel, Ongole Kitchen blends some pan-Asian twists with classic Korean fare, making it worth a visit for that slightly unexpected vibe.

One thing I appreciate is that many joints here adapt for Mumbai’s palate, dialing down the heat or offering vegetarian options like tofu stews. Pro tip: ask for extra kimchi on the side , it’s usually homemade and worth it. And if you’re visiting during the monsoon, a hot bowl of Korean stew is incredibly comforting.

So if you’re craving Korean flavors while in Mumbai, dig into these spots and remember it’s as much about the sizzling grill and communal vibe as the food itself. Trust me, you’ll leave with a new favorite dish or two.

A little heads-up on Korean dining

If you’re planning to try Korean food in Mumbai, remember it’s still something of a niche cuisine here. That means you won’t find loads of options but also that the ones around tend to be pretty focused on quality.

For a chill evening, Han Kook Kwan in Andheri is your go-to. It’s no-frills, but their kimchi is homemade and their spicy pork bulgogi has a following among locals who get what Korean food is about. Pro tip: visit during the monsoon months when a hot bowl of Korean stew hits just right against the humid weather. Also, try to get a seat near the grill,it’s part of the experience.
