Kim kocht – Best Korean in Vienna

For Korean fans, we’re not telling you anything new when mentioning Kim kocht as one of the best Korean restaurants in the city. Sohyi Kim has held status as a local celebrity chef in Vienna for a while now, and Kim Kocht (which has since its beginnings moved location) was her first location. And while the prestige (she’s won awards, written cookbooks and has a cult following of such) of her and her restaurants has risen, the same humble and authentic methods in the kitchen are applied. Kim’s kitchen secret is actually no secret – stay true to the five colours, elements, and phases of Korean (and Chinese) cooking, but be inventive with traditional dishes. This leads to a magnificent balance in flavours turning up in every dish served up at Kim Kocht. If we had to pick the best dish on the menu, both in appearance and aroma, it would be her interpretation of a green curry. There aren’t many seats in the place, making it an intimate experience, but one glorious one for your tastebuds. And 9 times out of 10 you’ll have Kim cooking for you.
