A great place for various Korean dishes. Unlike other Korean restaurants in São Paulo, it has several vegetarian dishes, for example Biji & Kongguksu. It's a simple place, but the food is worth it and the prices are great too. I'm from Korea, and when I miss Korean food, I go to this restaurant. I recommend it to you to get to know a little about Korean cuisine!

After some TikTok recommendations, my friends and I decided to visit the restaurant! Overall, the food is quite basic; I only recommend the bibimbap, as the pot doesn't retain heat well, so it cools down quickly. The side dishes were good too; they didn't skimp on the options. The service is good, but the waiters lacked a bit of training as they didn't know much about the dishes. They couldn't tell if something had meat, if it was spicy, etc. The atmosphere is comfortable! I liked the space; the chairs are comfortable, and there's a huge TV playing Korean music at a moderate volume that didn't interfere with our conversation or anything.

The menu lacks descriptions (only a photo with the name). For those unfamiliar with Korean food, ordering can be difficult. Fair price.

The cold noodles were icy cold and refreshing, the kimchi rice was delicious, and the fried chicken was very flavorful – I thought it was fantastic! Plus, the price was very reasonable. Highly recommended!

This is a review of a dining experience I had last year. However, when I returned to Brazil this year and wanted to find this Korean restaurant, I couldn't find it anywhere. In the end, I just randomly picked one, which is the one in the picture. Does anyone know where 이모야 is?
