CDMX has a surprisingly great Korean food scene, centered around Narvarte. The best Korean BBQ and restaurants in Mexico City.
"Michelin Guide-listed Korean restaurant from chefs Greg Wong and Allen Noveck — inventive Korean food with Mexican sensibility. Creamy kimchi carbonara, crispy esquites with Sichuan pepper, and warm gimbap in a former Chinese café."
"A tiny, owner-operated Korean spot just off Zona Rosa with a razor-focused menu of only six dishes, all made by Korean expat cooks who treat the recipes like family heirlooms. It holds a near-perfect rating with almost no marketing — the kind of place that survives purely on word of mouth from the local Korean community."
"Set on the second floor of a building in Zona Rosa, Ora serves a broader Korean menu than most competitors — bulgogi, classic Korean ramens, tteokbokki, and rotating Korean comfort specials in a space that feels like you've stumbled into a Seoul neighborhood diner. The owners are Korean and the recipes are personal, not commercial."
"An all-you-can-eat Korean table-grill in CDMX's Little Seoul corridor — marinated meats cooked tableside in the heart of the city's Korean community, where you're more likely to be surrounded by Koreans than tourists."
