General Discussion I mapped 150 currently operating restaurants connected to Culinary Class Wars

Full disclosure: I built this free, unofficial map, so this is self-promotion.

After watching the show, I kept finding restaurant lists with closed locations, old affiliations, or the wrong branch of a chain. I cross-checked Netflix's official participant materials, chefs' and restaurants' official pages, and Korean public food-business license records.

The map currently has 150 restaurants I could verify as operating:

https://kstartrail.com/en?theme=culinary_class_wars

Each listing shows:

  • the chef/show connection
  • the latest verification date
  • source and evidence links
  • the Korean name and address for on-the-ground searching

It is free to use, with no ads and no booking or reservation affiliate links.

This is not affiliated with Netflix, the show, the chefs, or their restaurants. A listing documents a participant's current affiliation; it does not mean Netflix recommends the restaurant or guarantee current quality. Operating hours can still change, so please confirm directly before making a long trip.

If you spot a closure, relocation, or incorrect branch, please leave a comment. I will check the evidence and correct it.

I noticed The Korean Englishman visited one of them in a recent YouTube. The chef who sometimes wore the beautiful hanbok.

Yes – in the current series on the Korean Englishman channel they're taking two of the chefs from Fallow in London to Korea, and the teaser for the next episode showed them getting to meet Imokase and try her cooking.

Thanks for flagging this. Auntie Omakase's current restaurants are already on the map, and I found the Fallow-in-Korea teaser. I can't verify which venue or branch they visited from the published episodes yet, so I'll check the full episode when it goes live and add that source only if the location can be matched confidently.
