Our story 정성
It began with a stone bowl.
In 2010, Master Chef Myoung Hee Kim opened a Korean kitchen in Bangkok, convinced that a bowl of food can carry a whole culture. Bibimbap, the dish that named the house, became its philosophy.
Bowl by bowl, The Bibimbab found its place across Thailand. As the family grew, Hwaro brought the iron griddle. Hansang is the table being set next.
Sixteen years on, every new dish still has to pass the same test the first bowl did: it goes to the table only when it tastes like home.

The founding words of The Bibimbab Co., Ltd.
A short film from the family’s dining rooms and kitchens in Bangkok.
Beside the stage · Since 2014
36 stages, one family behind them.
From BTS’s Red Bullet concert in 2014 to IU, JISOO and the pitch of Muangthong United: for over a decade the family has stood beside the K-wave in Thailand, an official sponsor or partner on 33 of those 36 stages and a quiet supporter of the rest.
What every table keeps 주방의 약속
Kitchen rules.
Three rules, kept the same at every table the family sets. You will not find them printed on a menu. You taste them.
Strict in the kitchen, warm at the table.
주방은 엄격하게, 상은 따뜻하게
Every kitchen team is trained to the family’s hygiene and service standards before they serve a single bowl, and the standards are checked branch by branch.
Good food is not a luxury.
좋은 밥은 사치가 아니다
All 13 branches are company-owned and buy together, so quality ingredients stay fairly priced.

Questions people ask us
Visiting the table방문
Is The Bibimbab good for solo diners?
It suits one person well. A dolsot bowl is cooked for a single diner, so rice, vegetables and meat arrive as one complete meal in a hot stone bowl. Soups, stews and noodles come the same way, and the mall branches keep counter seats and small tables for one or two people.
Is The Bibimbab a good Korean restaurant for families and parents?
It is one of the reasons families come. The cooking is the food of a Korean home, the menu runs from mild to spicy so every generation finds a dish, and most of the table is meant to be shared. For a large family table, call the Group Order Center on 02-662-2268 or call the branch directly; branch numbers are on the locations page.
Can I book a table for a large group?
Yes. Group orders and large tables are arranged by the Group Order Center on 02-662-2268. Every branch also takes direct calls, and each branch number is listed on the locations page.
Does The Bibimbab deliver?
Yes. Delivery is cooked at Chef Kim’s Cooking Lab on Sukhumvit 31. Call 02-662-1122 to order.
Are there vegetarian options?
Bibimbap and several other dishes are built around vegetables. If you need strictly vegetarian or vegan cooking, call the branch before you visit and the kitchen will advise on what it can prepare that day.
Where can I park?
Most branches sit inside a shopping mall, so you use the mall’s own car park: Mega Bangna, Siam Paragon, EmQuartier, IconSiam, CentralPlaza Grand Rama 9, One Bangkok, Central Ladprao, The Mall Ngamwongwan, Central Pinklao and The Mall Bangkapi. For Sukhumvit 24 and Pattaya Sai 2, call the branch and the team will explain the nearest parking.
The brands and branches브랜드와 지점
Where are the restaurants located?
The family runs 13 branches across Thailand. The Bibimbab has branches at Sukhumvit 24, Mega Bangna, Siam Paragon, EmQuartier, Pattaya Sai 2, IconSiam, CentralPlaza Grand Rama 9, United Nations ESCAP and One Bangkok, plus Chef Kim’s Cooking Lab on Sukhumvit 31, which cooks delivery orders. Hwaro has four: Central Ladprao, The Mall Ngamwongwan, Central Pinklao and The Mall Bangkapi.
What is the difference between the brands?
Each brand cooks from a different vessel. At The Bibimbab it is the stone bowl, so the table fills with bibimbap, soups and the dishes of a Korean home. At Hwaro it is the iron griddle, where pork, garlic and kimchi sear in front of you. Hansang, the next brand, is still being prepared.
Where can I eat Korean BBQ near Ladprao, Ngamwongwan, Pinklao or Bangkapi?

How much is Korean BBQ at Hwaro?
Hwaro's samgyeopsal griddle is ฿260 a la carte or ฿295 as a set, and moksal is ฿250 or ฿285 as a set. Prices are the same at all four Hwaro branches. The full menu with prices in Thai baht is on the Hwaro menu page.

The company and franchise회사와 프랜차이즈
Has The Bibimbab sponsored K-pop concerts in Thailand?

What is The Bibimbab Family of Companies?
The Bibimbab Family of Companies is a Korean restaurant group founded in Bangkok in 2010 by Master Chef Myoung Hee Kim, operating 13 branches across Thailand under the brands The Bibimbab and Hwaro, with a new brand, Hansang, coming soon. The group is operated by The Bibimbab Co., Ltd. from its head office on Sukhumvit 31, Bangkok.
When was The Bibimbab founded, 2010 or 2011?
Both dates are real and they mark different things. Master Chef Myoung Hee Kim opened the first Korean kitchen in Bangkok in 2010, and that is the year the company counts from. The Bibimbab Co., Ltd. was then registered in Thailand on 18 August 2011, company registration 0105554109593, and the brand opened in December 2011. Thai corporate records and Korean press reports cite 2011 because they follow the incorporation and the brand launch. The earliest press record of the chain is the Bangkok Post review of 25 May 2012, when it had 3 branches and 36 seats.
Who founded The Bibimbab?
The Bibimbab was founded in Bangkok in 2010 by Master Chef Myoung Hee Kim, whose original recipes still anchor every brand in the family. Recipe development continues today at Chef Kim’s Cooking Lab on Sukhumvit 31.
Why is The Bibimbab good value?
Every branch is company-owned, so ingredients are sourced together for all 13 of them and the family can keep prices fair without cutting corners.
How does the family manage food hygiene?
Every kitchen team is trained to the family’s hygiene standards before service, and the same standards are applied and checked at every branch.
Does The Bibimbab offer franchise opportunities?
Yes. After 16 years running 13 company-owned branches, the family opens its playbook to franchise partners across Thailand, for every brand in the family. Enquiries: info@thebibimbab.com or 02-662-1122.
