A rice bowl topped with all sorts of seasoned sautéed vegetables, marinated meat (usually beef), a fried egg sunny side up, finished with a sprinkle of sesame and generous dollop of a sweet-spicy-savoury Bibimbap sauce. No one’s ever accused me of being unenthusiastic, that’s for sure! 😂 What’s bibimbap?īibimbap is one of the most well known Korean dishes. I’d go as far as to say that it’s my favourite Korean food – but it always concerns me when I make grand statements like that because I’m worried I’ve said that about another Korean recipe I’ve previously shared. Mix it all up into one big delicious mess, then dig in! "Brands that are uncharacteristic and not differentiated will inevitably be rejected by Korean consumers.Bibimbap – Trust the Koreans to transform the humble rice bowl into a recipe that’s revered all around the world! With a kaleidoscope of seasoned sautéed vegetables, Korean marinated beef, and the signature fried egg, the thing that really seals the deal is the bright red, spicy Bibimbap Sauce that I can’t get enough of. "There is a perception that if a restaurant franchise gets a nod from Korean consumers, the restaurant franchise will succeed anywhere in the world, so many brands try to enter the Korean market as a testbed," an industry insider said. Most recently, Good Stuff Eatery (GSE), which ambitiously launched the Obama Burger in 2022, took steps to withdraw after five months. Tim Hortons, which is characterized by making coffee immediately after ordering, plans to introduce its expertise to the Korean market, operating more than 5,600 stores in 15 countries around the world.Īs Korea has seen a boom in entries by overseas franchise companies, there are many brands that have failed and withdrawn from Korea. This summer, Tim Hortons, Canada's “national” coffee shop chain, will arrive in Korea. The key will be how well Five Guys can maintain its original flavor.
In addition, Five Guys, one of the top three burgers in the United States, is set to open its first store in Korea, and competition in the handmade burger market is expected to heat up. Shake Shack, which opened its first store in Korea in 2016, slowly increased the number of stores and has been operating stably for a long time. Super Duper, a famous restaurant based in San Francisco, is a direct competitor of SPC Group's Shake Shack. About 10,000 consumers visited the second store within five days of its opening. Super Duper, a handmade burger brand brought in by BHC Group, also opened its Hongdae branch in April after its Gangnam branch. There are many similarities among them, starting with their menus. In the long run, the success of Popeye's will be determined by how it overcomes competition from KFC and Mom's Touch. The fast food franchise is expanding its stores mainly in Seoul and the Seoul metropolitan area with heavy foot traffic. Popeye's, which returned to Korea in December last year after leaving the country in 2020, has also continued its early momentum, operating five stores.
Wingstop plans to quickly open its fourth store within this year as it gains word-of-mouth popularity among office workers and students. Wingstop has been stably operating its first store after opening it near Sinnonhyeon Station in January.
Wingstop, an American chicken franchise, will open its second store near the Seoul National University entrance area on May 25, according to industry sources on May 21. However, there is no guarantee that all brands will succeed as there are quite a few that pompously entered the Korean market and then withdrew after suffering failures.
