THE CHEF
Michelin-starred Chef Sungchul Shim is known for creating concepts that bridge Korean tradition with modern technique — from Kochi and Mari, each honored with one Michelin star, to Hwaro, his most ambitious project yet.
Rooted in a lifelong curiosity for flavor and shaped by years in the world’s finest kitchens, Hwaro represents the culmination of everything he has learned — a deeply personal expression of craft, memory, and connection.
Together, we strive to create more than a meal; we create a moment of connection. Every service is a dialogue between warmth and discipline, tradition and innovation — a shared pursuit to offer not only exceptional cuisine, but an experience that feels deeply personal, gracious, and alive with spirit.
The team at Hwaro is guided by the belief that true hospitality is an act of heart — a reflection of care, precision, and pride. Rooted in Korean heritage and shaped by the refinement of French technique, we approach every detail with intention — from the way ingredients are handled to the way each guest is received.
