Authentic Korean BBQ, Elevated to Perfection

Behind Samwon Garden

Since 1976, Samwon Garden has been a symbol of premium Korean dining—celebrated for its rich tradition, exceptional quality, and timeless flavors. As one of Korea’s most iconic and longstanding Korean BBQ restaurants, Samwon Garden has proudly served generations of loyal guests, earning a reputation as a culinary institution in the heart of Seoul.In 2013, Samwon Garden made a bold step into the global market with the opening of its first international branch in Jakarta, Indonesia. The response was nothing short of extraordinary. The Jakarta branch, located in Lotte Shopping Avenue, became an instant favorite among food lovers and Korean cuisine enthusiasts, setting a new standard for Korean dining abroad. Its overwhelming success quickly positioned Samwon Garden as a market leader in the region.

Global Openings

Fuelled by this momentum, a second Jakarta branch opened in the prestigious Plaza Indonesia Mall, further solidifying Samwon Garden’s reputation as the go-to destination for premium Korean BBQ in Indonesia. The exceptional reception in Jakarta did more than affirm the brand’s global appeal—it became the driving force behind the brand’s bold international expansion.In 2024, inspired by the remarkable success in Jakarta, Samwon Garden introduced its sister brand, SAMWON by Samwon Garden, offering a modern and approachable take on traditional Korean cuisine while maintaining the authenticity that defines the Samwon name.By 2023, Samwon Garden proudly brought its legacy to Hanoi, Vietnam, continuing to captivate new audiences with its unmatched culinary experience. And the journey doesn’t stop there—New York City is next, with a flagship location set to open in 2025, marking a new era of global recognition.
