"São Paulo’s Koreatown in the Bom Retiro neighborhood is full of restaurants serving bibimbap, bulgogi, and kimchi-spiked dishes. But New Shin-La Kwan embodies a passion shared by Brazilians and Koreans: barbecue. This steakhouse veers toward a Korean-style barbecue restaurant, with charcoal grills set in the center of each table and servers on hand to supply raw chunks of pork belly or marinated beef ribs. Alongside come rice, salad, and banchan, including delicious kimchi made by chef Sae Kim’s mother, who produces over 300 pounds a week for the restaurant." - Rafael Tonon
