About The Artist
Immigrated from South Korea, Chef Hyun graduated from George Brown College’s Culinary Management program in 2010. He worked mostly in more upscale Western kitchens in Toronto such as Scaramouche, Globe Bistro, George, and C5, until he opened his own first restaurant, Core, as a seasonal Canadian bistro, in 2018 in Leslieville. During the Covid-19 pandemic, he pivoted and changed the concept of the restaurant to Korean, to represent his home country, and to introduce the food he grew up eating to the neighbourhood of Leslieville and its surrounding communities.
Most recently, Chef Hyun once again pivoted to change a portion of the restaurant to a bubble tea shop, and now he is proudly serving Korean Fried Chicken and authentic Korean classics as well as the refreshing and delicious bubble teas!
