Loved our dinner at this Korean spot in Aclimação. Only a quick cab ride from Pinheiros and we were…read morein banchan heaven. I was seriously impressed with the number of small dishes they offered! Everything from kimchee to tofu and more. The spacious restaurant is equipped with BBQ tables - the kind that allow you to cook your meat tabletop and while we opted for the already prepared galbi, next time I'l order the meat to cook ourselves. The Doenjang Jjigae soup we ordered was also good and paired nicely with the soju and beer (sadly they don't have Korean beer). I'll certainly be back.

This is a Korean restaurant in Bom Retiro neighborhood with the authentic Korean style barbecue…read more Each table is equipped with a charcoal grill and an exhaust system that might prevent you to leave the restaurant smelling like gogigui. Gogigui (barbecue in Korean) in is he main item in the menu, with different options (beef, chicken, pork, duck) for sharing, but other dishes are also available. We were in a group of 4 and none of us were in mood of having the barbecue. Moreover, we had a member trying Korean food for the very first time and another one who wasn't much into spicy food. Taking everything into consideration, we ordered 2 bowls of bibimbap and kimchi jjigae (stew with kimchi, tofu and pork). While waiting for the dishes to come, we were offered banchan (side dishes) which was okay. A portable stove was placed on the table for preparing the kimchi jjigae and all dishes were brought at once. Flavor-wise, everything was very tasty, but spiciness was an issue for the ones that were not really familiar to Korean food. But fortunately bibimbap was served with gochujang separately, so we managed to make and edible bibimbap for everyone's standards. In the end we realized that 1 bowl could be enough for the 4 of us. One curious thing happened while we were having our meal: a family with a child seated in a high chair had ordered the barbecue. We heard a scream all of sudden. The girl had put the hands over the hot grill! So one important piece of advice: make sure you keep an eye on children if you come here with your family.

Food is so so. Expensive. 6 pieces of Picanha for R$120. Bim…read morebim bap R$34. Owner, the lady was disinterested and the man was simply rude (Korean owner) - Perhaps they think I am Korean as I have an oriental face. They probably think negatively of me thinking I am a Korean refusing to speak Korean with them. I will not return. If one is selling BBQ in Brazil, you have to be original as the local standard, which is Brazillian BBQ (churrascaria) is pretty high. I was with my friend, a compatriot that has been living in Brazil for 50 years, He was not impressed either. If you receive good treatment from the restaurant owner, good on you. As for me, I will not return.

Tofu House is a Korean restaurant specializing in Sun Dubu (tofu stew) in Sao Paulo's K-town…read more Overall, it's a decent place for Soon Dubu, but I wouldn't say it's the best place I've been in town. The good part about this place is that they give you excellent portions for the actual stew and the free side-dishes (banchan). The bad part is that the taste itself wasn't authentic at all - in fact, the tofu in the stew is not at all soft as it usually is. I wouldn't go out of my way to go there, but if you're ever in the area and are craving for Korean food, then Tofu House would be a great place to satisfy that craving.

The only thing strange about Mirim is its location - it's located atop a Kopenhagen store and to…read moreget to it,one must enter the store and take the staircase at the end. This place really deserves more credit - the Korean food options that they serve are, frankly in my amateur opinion, quite good. I normally come here for lunch especially when the craving for Asian food can't be met by the 'oh-so-boring' Temakeria and everytime I have liked what they serve. For lunch at R$ 38-40 they have some options of bibimbap & sundubu and the portions are quite well served -the spice level is on the higher side so I recommend that you go prepared to get some good Korean flavours. Most of the customers are Koreans or Japanese from neighbouring Paulista based companies - also another sign that the food is authentic. A place I visit frequently and has never let me down !

Mirim is basically a restaurant to go during weekdays for lunch and focus on the Korean expat population in the neighborhood. From bibimbap (rice with meat and vegetables in a hot bowl to mix with a raw egg and chili paste) to sundubu (spicy soup with tofu and seafood), you can try the basics of Korean food. The lunch menu dishes include the main dish and 3 options of banchan (kimchi is always a must) and for attracting more customers, they have a loyalty program. For every 10 meals, you get 1 for free. I have my favorite dish which is the sundubu. I already tired bibimbap which was good, but a dish I would not recommend is any noodle based dish. Even though the broth was spicy, the noodles tastes like instant noodles you can get at any grocery shop in Bom Retiro.

Haha. We had the bulgogi platter with the onions and the vegetables. It was good. They will serve it raw and you will need to cook it in an electric pan. Had the wing and they were so so. On the positive side, it was an experience and the beer and soju was really cold.

It was an incredible experience. there wasn't a bad dish at all. the star for me was the sesame dessert, the pork belly, and the kalbi. I am floored by their ability to hold to traditional Korean dish elements, like the banchan, and the essence and flavours, but still being such a refreshing and unique approach to the dishes. the pork belly almost knocked me out of my chair. the intensity of the flavour, coupled with the tenderness was just magical. I appreciated the kimchi rice and egg because the egg added such a soft and delicate balance to the meal without being over powering or tasting like egg. such a big fan of the desserts, both were so different. we got the sesame and the merengue. it was a beautiful balance of flavours. I would say the sesame took the cake [pun intended], because the flavours were so perfectly balanced. not too sweet, not too savory, just a nice expression of the sesame through intentional flavours. their drinks were also quite delightful. the "only and" was my favourite. this spot is listed on many "must" lists in São Paulo, and of course just very pleased to be visiting these incredibly awarded Michelin star restaurants while here. one a day for five days straight, so I'll keep sharing as we visit more.
