These chefs bring every flame, spice, and serving to life with their incredible skill. Every bite takes you on a journey through the green fields and busy kitchens of Punjab and North India. The menu is crafted to fit this classic club setting. You’ll find delightful dishes like the crisp Aloo Tokri Chaat, a lovely nod to Kanpur's street food, and the comforting, slow-cooked, creamy Daal Makhani, which feels just like Punjabi home cooking. For those who love hearty meat dishes, the seventeen-hour marinated lamb dish, raan-e-nishat, and the slow-cooked mutton rogan josh will transport you to the royal dining tables of Lucknow and the rich Kashmiri wazwan of days gone by.

GOPIZZA Expands Korean Culinary Empire with Launch of Gochujang in Bengaluru

GOPIZZA Expands Korean Culinary Empire with Launch of Gochujang in Bengaluru

By Nishang Narayan

Published on June 11, 2025

GOPIZZA, the Korean-headquartered global food brand, is making waves once again—this time with the launch of its newest venture: Gochujang, India’s first quick-service restaurant dedicated entirely to authentic Korean street food. The brand opened doors on June 7, 2025, at Phoenix Mall of Asia, Bengaluru, introducing a new way for Indian food lovers to explore Korean flavors.

This launch marks GOPIZZA's third brand under its K-Food umbrella, joining its popular Korean pizza concept and Dalkomi, the indulgent dessert café. Together, the three brands now offer an all-in-one Korean culinary experience, from spicy and savory to sweet, all under one roof.

Gochujang is named after Korea’s iconic fermented red chilli paste and pays tribute to Korea's vibrant street food culture. The “GO” in the name is also a nod to the parent brand GOPIZZA, reflecting its expansion across Indian cities and its mission to deliver immersive Korean dining experiences.

Speaking on the launch, Jaewon Lim, Founder and Global CEO of GOPIZZA, shared, “India is a key market in our global strategy. We’re looking for a master franchise partner and plan to launch 100 outlets across GOPIZZA, Gochujang, and Dalkomi by FY 2026.”

image

What makes Gochujang unique is its commitment to street food staples straight from Seoul. Think: cheesy corn dogs, fiery tteokbokki, ramen bowls that warm the soul, and more. It's a bold and flavorful menu that stays true to the streets of Korea.

Mahesh Reddy, CEO of GOPIZZA India, added, “Our journey in India has shown a strong love for Korean food. With Gochujang, we’re now offering an authentic Korean street food experience that complements our pizza and dessert brands.”

Located right next to Gochujang, Dalkomi also opens its second location at Mall of Asia after a successful debut at Kempegowda International Airport. The 650 sq ft space forms part of the 3-brand Korean food hub that GOPIZZA plans to replicate across its outlets for both dine-in and delivery.

With high footfall, a cosmopolitan crowd, and a growing appetite for Korean cuisine, Phoenix Mall of Asia was the perfect setting to launch this integrated K-food experience.

Known for its technological innovation, GOPIZZA is also leading in kitchen automation with its proprietary GOBOT (for cutting and heating pizzas), AI Smart Topping Table, and the patented GOVEN that bakes six pizzas in just three minutes—ensuring both speed and consistency across its 65+ outlets.

With Gochujang’s entry, GOPIZZA continues its journey from a single-brand pizza chain to a multi-brand Korean food destination poised to grow both in India and globally.
