The palace features a menu that showcases the “rich heritage and diverse flavors of this culinary tradition,” the North Market said. Guests can expect an array of options, from Bulgogi, Korean Ramen and Galbi, to Spicy Pork, Dukboki, and Gimbob, all crafted using authentic ingredients and cooking techniques.
Jin originally planned to pursue a career as a dentist, but quickly became enamored with the restaurant scene when he took over a friend’s restaurant, and then served in a leadership role at a local Mark Pi’s Express. Rick Harrison Wolfe, North Market executive director, said he is thrilled to “bring the true essence of Korean cuisine to the North Market.”
