GwanJu Kim
SOL
Chef Kim brings over eight years of culinary expertise to SOL Restaurant, where he redefines Korean cuisine with an innovative, Western-inflected approach. A prodigy, he rose to Chef de Cuisine at the one Michelin-starred L’Amant Secret in just two years, honing his skills further at the three Michelin-starred Odette in Singapore. Growing up on a family farm in the Seoul countryside, Chef Kim developed a deep respect for Korean flavors—an influence he now blends seamlessly with Western techniques. At SOL Restaurant in Hong Kong, he creates inventive, heritage-rich dishes that offer diners a bold new dimension of Korean gastronomy.
