There's a cool new Korean bar now open in Downtown Dubai
If you love South-Korean street food, make this your new hangout…
South Korea is a symbol for so many cool cultural entities, whether its the catchiest K-Pop tunes or the next life-changing beauty regime. None more so though, than its exciting take on street food, in particular the unique style of fried chicken dishes.
Kimpo is the new Korean bar and restaurant just opened in Conrad Dubai and it looks seriously cool. The venue is adorned in neon lights and vibrant graffiti artwork, bringing an edgy Seoul-meets-Brooklyn vibe to Downtown Dubai.
Fried chicken, or chimaek, is their speciality, but you’ll also find a range of exciting East-Asian dishes to try. The menu includes a Korean Bulgogi Sloppy Joe, an East-meets-West take on tacos and Kimpo Pizza, complete with salmon, kimchi mayonnaise, yuzu jelly and sesame seeds – sounds interesting!
