2 Korean Girls Opens Miami Pop-Up

Inspired by the family’s treasure trove of recipes, the vibrant and flavorful gluten-free menu features Signature Bowls including the O.B. (Original Bibimbap) – Ribeye Bulgogi, Korean white rice, sesame spinach, marinated mung bean sprouts, sweet & sour radish, spicy potato, fried egg and Gochujang; and Oh You Spicy Huh? – Spicy Korean Chicken, white rice, cucumber kimchi, Napa cabbage kimchi, spicy potato, fried egg and Gochujang.
2 Korean Girls also have a variety of Snacks + Banchan on offer including but not limited to, Kimchi Fried Rice, 2KG Ribs, Impos-Seoul-ible Meatballs, Napa Cabbage Kimchi and Spicy Potato Stir Fry.
No Korean meal is complete without delicious Desserts including Korean Pear with Spicy Chocolate Sauce, Coffee Chia Pudding and Red Bean Chia Pudding; and select Tea pairings such as Jujube Tea and Barley Ginger Tea.
