Korean street food, Canadian soul

Gangnam Korea is where Korean street food meets Canadian soul food — and the result is something Muskoka hadn't tasted before.

It started with a memory

Sunju Lee grew up in Muskoka, a long-time Port Sydney resident born in Korea, and went on to study at the University of Toronto. The idea started with a memory: her father coming home with a box of Korean fried chicken, and the whole family gathering around it. She never forgot it, and she wanted to bring that feeling — the food, and the culture around it — home to Muskoka.

The old Tim Hortons

When the old Tim Hortons building on Huntsville's main strip came available, she knew it was time. She brought in her cousin, Chef Yangmo Kim from Toronto, and Gangnam Korea opened its doors.

Why “Gangnam”

The name is a nod to Gangnam, the Seoul district known for fashion, arts and celebrity — Korea's Hollywood. Psy put it on the world's map in 2012, and Korean food followed.

Korea's Hollywood

Seoul's fashion, arts and celebrity district — the one Psy sang about. Korean food followed the song around the world.
