At 7th Door, Chef Kim's imaginative take on modern Korean cuisine delights with a cozy vibe, playful presentations, and a meticulous focus on fermentation.
"Chef Kim Dae-chun’s cooking continues to diversify and deepen over time. The menu at this restaurant embodies the culinary direction he wishes to pursue, largely thanks to his modern Korean preparations. Under the theme of fermentation and aging, the essential attributes of Korean gastronomy, the chef prepares ingredients with care and expertise. The 7th Door symbolises a gastronomic entrance to “the seven tastes of food,” the first five being the five basic tastes; the sixth, the taste of fermentation and aging; and the seventh, the culinary sensibility of the chef." - Michelin Inspector
"For Chef Kim Dae-cheon, the ingredients and precise techniques that summarize his cooking philosophy are summed up in one word: toconomy (Toc Toc + gastronomy). Signature dishes at Toc Toc include truffle dumplings and pasta with Chef Kim's original flair. In addition to the course meals, the restaurant also offers a wide range of well-executed à la carte dishes." - Michelin Inspector
"Rank: #34 "Kim Dae-chun is well known to Asia’s 50 Best, with his first Seoul restaurant, TocToc, winning the One To Watch Award in 2017. A former musician, Kim discovered a love of cooking while in Japan, training at the Tokyo Cookery Academy before introducing diners at Naoto Kishimoto's L'Embellir to Korean flavours."
"Modern Korean restaurant 7th Door, run by chef Kim Byong-jin, appears in the guide with one star." - Monica Burton
