Welcome to Beom Beom, the latest culinary hotspot in Sydney’s vibrant Darling Square. If you’re craving a smorgasbord of flavours that dance between tradition and modernity, this contemporary Korean diner is your go-to destination. Helmed by the dynamic duo of executive chef Jacob Lee and head chef Sunzoo Kwak, Beom Beom is where Korean ‘soul food’ gets a stylish, modern makeover. Chef Jacob Lee, drawing inspiration from his childhood in South Korea’s Jeolla Province, takes us on a nostalgic journey with a twist. His culinary expertise, honed in Australia’s bustling restaurant scene, brings a unique flair to traditional ‘hansik’ dishes. Joining him is Sunzoo Kwak, formerly of Madang fame, ensuring the kitchen is as vibrant as the dishes leaving it. The menu? Oh, it’s a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds. Picture this: galbi, a mouthwatering short rib dish smoked in hay, paired with a fresh scallion salad. Or perhaps you’d prefer the fiery tteokbokki, stir-fried rice cakes mingling with fish cake, baby octopus, and an alluring rose sauce. For those who love their comfort food with a kick, the Shin Ramyun fried rice or the Korean fried chicken—with choices like sweet and spicy or soy garlic—will certainly hit the spot. Drinks, you ask? Beom Beom’s bar is stocked with delights like house-made Makgeolli, a traditional rice wine, and an array of Korean-inspired cocktails that will have you reevaluating your drink choices. Whether you’re sipping on a soju highball or exploring the wide range of soju itself, you’re in for a treat…. Read More
