Restaurante Portal da Coreia, Korean restaurant in Liberdade District, Brazil.
Portal da Coreia is a Korean restaurant with tables set up for table grilling, where you cook meat directly on your own hot plate filled with water. The meat arrives sliced thin and ready to cook with sesame oil and butter of your choice.
The restaurant is located in Liberdade, a neighborhood that changed from a burial ground in the 1700s into São Paulo's first Japanese settlement starting in 1912. Over time the area welcomed other Asian communities and their businesses.
The restaurant serves banchan, traditional Korean side dishes with tofu, vegetables, bean sprouts, and kimchi, with every meal. These accompany the main course and reflect how Korean dining culture values multiple flavors at once.
The restaurant is located on Rua da Glória 729 and opens Monday through Saturday from 6 PM to 9:30 PM. Partner parking is available nearby for guests.
The grilling setup uses water-filled hot plates instead of direct heat, which keeps the meat tender as it cooks. This particular cooking method sets this place apart from typical Korean barbecue restaurants.
