The restaurant fuses traditional flavours with modern flair, offering a dining experience that’s both stylish and soulful — perfect for date nights or intimate gatherings.

(You’ll find it featured on SethLui.com and DanielFoodDiary, both highlighting its refreshing approach to Korean cuisine.)

Step inside and you’re greeted with floral touches, soft lighting, and floor-to-ceiling glass windows overlooking the city. The space feels relaxed yet elevated — far from the bustle downstairs.
If you can, grab a window seat for the full experience. It’s one of the few Orchard Road restaurants that lets you savour good food and skyline views in a calm, uncluttered setting.

What to Eat at Kimchi Dining
πΆ️ Kimchi Platter (6 Types)
A colourful starter showcasing six styles of house-fermented kimchi and pickles. Each one carries its own spice and tang — a simple but striking opening act.
π₯ Gamjajeon (Potato Pancake)
A must-try. Crispy, golden potato pancake with bacon bits, radish pickle, and truffle mayo — reviewers on SethLui.com call it “addictively good.”
π Jeju Pork Noodle
Topped with charred pork belly and smoky chilli powder, the noodles are comforting and fragrant. Some find the pork slightly firm, but most praise its aromatic broth.

Slices of honey-garlic pork wrapped in lettuce or endive — a fun, interactive dish that balances sweetness and heat beautifully.
π° Black Sesame Sundae & Chocolate Injeolmi Tart
A dessert duo that steals the show. The sesame sundae is nutty and earthy, while the tart pairs chewy injeolmi with rich chocolate.
(If you’re on a dessert trail, make your next stop The Dark Gallery – Orchard Road’s Hidden Chocolate Sanctuary for more cocoa-centric indulgence.)
