Graz celebrates: Opening of the first Korean restaurant Gogi Go!

Glacisstraße 1, 8010 Graz, Österreich - Graz finally gets his first authentic Korean restaurant! On August 3, "Gogi Go" opens its doors at Glacisstraße 1, a former delivery area of the "Freigeist Burger". Operator Max Yanjiv Buyantsog has over ten years of experience from the Viennese Asia catering and has developed an exciting concept for lovers of Korean cuisine. Particularly noteworthy is the focus on Korean street food, which is available in both its classic as well as in vegans or vegetarian form. In a lively ambience, Buyantsog wants to offer fresh dishes like Korean Fried Chicken, Tteokbokki and Kimchi.

"Gogi Go" - that means "meat to take away". In addition to the classic desserts, a specialty of the house will also be found: the Korean Corn Dogs, which are available in different variants, even as a vegetarian option. The range of dishes reflects the trend towards Korean cuisine, which is now finding its way into many parts of the world, and is accompanied by the international interest in K dramas, Korean beauty products and the K-pop phenomenon. According to a report by Rolling Pin, the "Korean Welle", also called Hallyu, conquered the world and does not stop before Graz.

a sustainable and appealing concept

Max Yanjiv Buyantsog is not only a cook, but also interior designer and artist. He has an incoming eye for design and plans to design his restaurant in such a way that it is inviting and appealing. In a city that lives from culinary experiences, “Gogi Go” will be a new attraction.

But that's not all: a very special offer awaits guests for the opening. If you come by on August 3, you can look forward to a 20 to 30 percent discount on all dishes and also receive free samples as long as the stock lasts. This invited to an enjoyable introduction to the world of Korean cuisine.

Korean food - a fixed trend

The enthusiasm for Korean cuisine could hardly be more contemporary. According to an analysis, interest in K-Food is growing steadily; In Germany in particular, Korean dishes such as Bibimbap and Kimchi are extremely popular. UNESCO has even appointed the custom of Kimjang production, i.e. the production of Kimchi, the intangible cultural heritage. This underlined the cultural relevance of Korean cuisine - and in the contingent of "Gogi Go" there are dishes that reflect exactly these cultural origin.

If you look at the many aspects of Korean culture, from K-Pop to the latest beauty trends, it is clear that the foundation for a flourishing restaurant was laid. "Gogi Go" is not only a place to eat, but also a place to experience South Korea's fascinating culture in Graz. Be there and enjoy a piece of Korea in Styria!
