Korean food at Siam Paragon: The Bibimbab guide

Siam Paragon is a shopping centre on Rama I Road in Pathum Wan, central Bangkok. The Bibimbab sits inside it, and the branch takes calls directly on 083-728-8282. The branch record, with a map search link and the brand it belongs to, is on the Siam Paragon branch page.

Mall floor plans change, and we would rather send you to a phone than to a floor number we cannot verify. If you are already in the building, call the branch and the team will tell you exactly where to walk.

Korean house cuisine centred on dolsot (hot stone bowl) bibimbap, soups, stews and classic sharing dishes, prepared with balanced nutrition in mind. Three things anchor the table at every branch.

• Dolsot Bibimbap

  돌솥비빔밥

  The house original, served roaring hot in a stone bowl

• Korean Soups & Stews

  찌개 · 탕

  Slow-simmered daily, from kimchi jjigae to soft tofu

• Classic Sharing Table

  한식 상차림

  Grilled fish, pancakes and banchan for the whole table

Menus vary by location, so the branch is always the last word on what is cooking today. The brand page carries the same list for all 10 tables.

Yes. Dolsot bibimbap is built as a single-serving dish: one hot stone bowl is a complete Korean meal for one person, rice and vegetables and protein in the same vessel. Soups, stews and noodle bowls are served the same way, and the mall branches keep counter seats and small tables for one or two people. If you want the method before you order, read how to eat dolsot bibimbap.

Yes. The cooking is the house’s own, 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 or a group booking, the Group Order Center takes calls on 02-662-2268. Every branch also answers its own number, and all of them are listed on the locations page.

Siam Paragon is a The Bibimbab table, not a griddle table. Korean barbecue is the work of Hwaro, the family’s griddle BBQ brand, which runs 4 branches inside shopping malls in Bangkok and Nonthaburi: Central Ladprao, The Mall Ngamwongwan, Central Pinklao and The Mall Bangkapi. None of them is in Siam Paragon, so plan the trip. If that is the evening you want, read how a Hwaro table works first.

Five more The Bibimbab tables sit within a short ride of Pathum Wan. Each one cooks from the same recipes.

All 13 branches the family runs, across every brand, are on the locations page.

Because one kitchen decides. Every sauce, marinade and recipe comes from Chef Kim’s Cooking Lab on Sukhumvit 31, the family’s central kitchen, so the bowl at Siam Paragon is the bowl at Mega Bangna. The recipes are the founder’s: Master Chef Myoung Hee Kim opened the first Korean kitchen of this group in Bangkok in 2010, and the lab still tastes a dish before any branch is allowed to serve it.
