5 Hottest Korean Restaurants in Macau

Arirang samgyetang Korean Restaurant Macau

Featured image photo credit: Patc Facebook

While K-Pop has taken the world by storm and the number of Korean drama fans continues to grow, Korean restaurants have seriously penetrated the Macau dining scene. The first thing that pops into mind when thinking about Korean food is the barbecue, but a whole range of dishes awaits. Know your kimchi from your bulgogi in our round-up of Korean restaurants in the city.

Arirang Korean Restaurant

(See featured image above)

“Gogi gui” is the Korean expression for everything grilled on charcoal, as Koreans do best. In Macau, one of the best places for beef, pork, chicken, or other types of meat on the grill is Arirang Korean Restaurant. Do you know how to eat these meats in a traditional way? Well, it’s quite easy–just wrap it in lettuce and add some condiments!

Have a try of “galbi” as well, which is beef short ribs marinated in a special sauce. It’s opened until late, which is great if you just got out of your favorite bar and need something to comfort that belly.

Opening hours: Daily, 11:00am–3:00am

Arirang Korean Restaurant Estrada Governador Albano Oliveira, 3 G/F Mei Keng Garden Building, Taipa, +853 2883 5562, www.facebook.com/macauarirang

Kims Korea Cafe Macau Pumpkin Dish.jpg

Kim’s Food Korea Cafe

A big draw here is the spicy chicken and cheese. Eat it while it’s hot so the cheese remains gooey, and pair the chicken with one of their fun cocktail drinks such as the peach or grapefruit rita. Korean black noodles have always been on our foodie list to try, so we were thrilled that Kim’s had them. The dish is called jajangmyeon, a well-known noodle dish mixed with black bean sauce, consisting of chunjang (a salty black soybean paste), diced pork (or other kinds of meat) and vegetables.

Another popular snack to share among friends is their boneless seasoned fried chicken, you can also have it spicy if you prefer it with a kick. Cooking at home and looking for authentic Korean ingredients? Kim also owns a Korean supermarket “K Mart” that’s located right next to the restaurant! How convenient!

Opening hours: Daily, 5:30pm–4:30am

Hot Stone Bimbibap City of Dreams Korean Restaurant Macau

Hongjiade Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup

“Hongjiade” means “plenty” in Korean and you will definitely have plenty to eat in this Korean restaurant located in SOHO, City of Dreams Macau. Hongjiade specializes in samgyetang, or ginseng chicken soup. The soup is prepared with the freshest ingredients and the stock is cooked over a period of days.

The original style of extra crispy fried chicken is served with their special in-house ginseng sauce. Our favorite is the Korean style stir-fried chicken with mozzarella cheese served with rice and side dishes such as kimchi, lotus, radish chunks, and pickled cucumber. Try their bibimbap as well that’s full of vegetables!

Opening hours: Daily, 12:00pm–11:00pm

Hongjiade SOHO, Level 2, The Shops at The Boulevard, City of Dreams, Estrada do lstmo, +853 2889 8677, www.cityofdreamsmacau.com

Goobne Chicken with cheese Korean Restaurant Macau

Goobne Chicken Macau

Although they also have some other homey dishes, one goes to Goobne for its Korean-style “fried” chicken, which not only has several variants, but it’s also very flavorsome in all its essence. In truth, their chicken is roasted, which means a healthier meal every time you go there.

They promote a low calorie, low cholesterol, low sodium and no trans fat way of cooking, so it’s a great option if you’re looking to have some wholesome chicken without worrying about your health. There are also soups, salads, some other dishes such as cheese, kimchi, and other Korean-style pancakes (called pajeon), cheese rice cake, among others.

Opening hours: Daily, 12:00pm–3:00pm, 5:00pm–2:00am
