The 4 Must-Try Dishes
1. Fresh Omugi Beef Yukhoe Sotbap ($25.90)
Think Korean beef tartare, but make it premium.
What you get:
- Premium Australian Omugi beef (barley-fed for extra flavour)
- Lightly torched for deeper aroma
- Served with fluffy sotbap rice (cooked in traditional iron pot)
- Golden crispy rice crust at the bottom
- Comes with soup and Korean fish cake
How to eat it: Enjoy the beef on its own or mix it into the rice. Both ways hit different.
This dish showcases the beef’s bouncy texture and clean taste. It’s simple yet sophisticated.
2. Maeun Dwaeji Galbi Jjim with Triple-Cheese Risotto ($25.90)
Spicy pork stew meets Italian indulgence. Yes, really.
What makes it special:
- US pork shoulder slow-simmered in Chef Choi’s signature spicy sauce
- Three types of cheese: Mascarpone, 12-month aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, and Mozzarella
- Torched to golden perfection
- Inspired by Chef Choi’s family meals
This is comfort food elevated. Korean soul food with an Italian twist. The cheese risotto cuts through the spice perfectly.
3. Jang Trio with Omugi Beef Tenderloin ($39.90)
The star of the menu. Chef Choi’s take on the classic Korean “Jang Trio”.
In Korean cooking, three sauces rule: ganjang (soy sauce), doenjang (soybean paste), and gochujang (chili paste).
Here’s what you do:
- Sear premium Australian Omugi beef tenderloin on your personal hotstone
- Melt homemade aged doenjang butter over the meat
- Add crisp ganjang-pickled radish with truffle
- Finish with Bulgogi Syo’s homemade gochujang sauce
Each bite unlocks layers of umami. The truffle radish cuts through the richness. It’s flavour harmony in action.
4. Vongole Sujebi ($21.90 – Members Only)
The dish that made Chef Choi famous on Culinary Class Wars.
This is Korean hand-torn noodles with an Italian soul.
What makes it unique:
- Squid ink sujebi (striking black noodles with briny notes)
- Rich clam broth with butter, garlic, and aromatics
- Cross-cultural fusion done right
This dish blends Korean rustic tradition with Italian vongole. It’s the same dish that propelled Chef Choi’s rise on the show.
Note: This one’s exclusive to Bulgogi Syo members. Time to sign up.
