Restaurant Choi was born from a simple but persistent question: Why is Korean cuisine so often presented in the same way? My vision is to create a Korean res­tau­rant in Berlin that breaks conventions and chal­lenges expectations. Rooted in Korea’s rich fer­men­tation cul­ture, I combine traditional techniques with the finest seasonal in­gre­dients from Europe, cre­ative crafts­man­ship, and a deep appreciation for aesthetics. Through a seasonal tasting menu, I explore the dialogue between Korea and Europe, creating dishes that are both deeply rooted in tradition and open to new ideas—an ex­pre­ssion of time, patience, creativity, and culture.
