Korean BBQ Sensation Hanam Opens in Bangkok
Korea's celebrated Hanam BBQ, famous for appearances in hit K-dramas, opens at Central World Bangkok on July 9, offering fresh pork grilled tableside on stone plates with signature charcoal-seared preparation.
Hanam BBQ, known locally in Korea as "Hanam Pig," is Korea's most celebrated barbecue restaurant with over 200 branches nationwide and frequent appearances in Korean dramas like "Perfect Crown," "Queen of Tears," and "Hospital Playlist." Now Korean food enthusiasts in Thailand won't need to wait for their next trip abroad—Hanam BBQ has opened at Central World, 6th floor, starting July 9.
What makes Hanam stand out is its commitment to fresh, never-frozen pork with multiple cuts available: pork belly, outer loin, inner loin, ribs, and offal, sold in both set and individual portions. The signature preparation involves pre-grilling meat over intense charcoal before serving, creating a fragrant crust while locking in moisture and fat, plus imparting a distinctive charcoal aroma.
At your table, customers grill on stone plates—which distribute heat evenly and let you control doneness—while staff cut and serve each piece. Must-try dishes include the Signature Assortment Set (875 baht) featuring pork belly, neck, and jowl; five-layer pork (335 baht per plate) with crispy skin; wagyu thin slices (950 baht); and bone-in short ribs (1,050 baht). All come with five dipping sauces: red samjang, gochujang, wasabi, and pepper-salt blend.
Side dishes include unlimited kimchi, seasoned bean sprouts, Korean glass noodles, raw vegetables, pickled garlic, and peppers in spicy sauce. Additional menu items include cheese egg custard, kimchi soup, and cheesy fries to wrap in meat. Wash it down with makgeolli—traditional Korean rice wine (450 baht) served with honeycomb—and finish with vanilla ice cream and crispy rice (75 baht) for the perfect meal.
