A Fresh Start with Bold Flavors: Celebrate Korean New Year at Kimchi

New Year, New Memories
The Korean New Year, or Seollal, is more than just the start of another year—it's a celebration of renewal, gratitude, and cherished traditions. At Kimchi, we're embracing the spirit of Seollal with a special menu that brings the warmth
of Korean heritage to Selly Oak. Whether you're gathering with family, friends, or colleagues, this is the perfect time to celebrate togetherness over a table of bold and comforting flavors.

What is Korean New Year?

Seollal is one of Korea's most important holidays, marked by traditional rituals, family gatherings, and, of course, delicious feasts. It’s a time to honor ancestors, share wishes for good fortune, and connect with loved ones. Central to the
celebration is the idea of starting fresh—whether it’s reflecting on the past or planning for the future, Seollal is about embracing new opportunities with a full heart (and a full stomach!).


Our Seollal Special Menu
To honor this special occasion, we’re bringing the traditions of Seollal to your plate with a menu designed for sharing and savoring. Here’s a sneak peek:

🍲 Tteokguk (Rice Cake Soup): A must-have for the New Year! This comforting dish of chewy rice cakes in savory broth symbolizes a fresh start and adds another year of good fortune to your life.

🍖 BBQ Platters for Sharing: Gather your loved ones around the grill and enjoy the sizzle of marinated bulgogi, spicy pork, and galbi ribs. Korean BBQ is the ultimate way to connect over a meal, one bite at a time.

🥢 Jeon (Korean Pancakes): Crispy, golden, and full of flavor, these savory pancakes will add a festive touch to your celebration.

A Celebration for Everyone

our local students and young professionals, what better way to kick off 2025 than with amazing food and memories made around the grill?
