Kosso is a feeling. It’s sitting at the dining table, shoulder-to-shoulder with the people you love. It’s savouring every mouthful of a home-cooked meal. It’s the memories of a time long gone when you felt the most alive. And it’s the ethos behind Tea Tree Plaza’s next Korean BBQ restaurant.
The latest addition to the Plaza’s food offerings, KOSSO Korean BBQ has all the offerings you know and love about the cuisine – built-in BBQs and DIY meats but the recipes and meals come with meaning. There’s a strong family element behind KOSSO and how it came to be.
Driven by a longing for his mother’s cooking, KOSSO owner Lee Younglin wanted to create a place where he could share his mother’s own recipes with the masses.
“Mum visits Adelaide from Korea for three months out of the year, and during this time she will fill us with as much home-cooked food as she can,” he explains.
“She fills us to the brim with treats and her homemade kimchi and when she returns to Korea, we miss those flavours and the homely feeling they provide. One day, she gave us her secret recipes so we could continue to eat well whenever she is away.
“These recipes are the story of KOSSO; a place where we can create dishes just like mum would make, savouring the memories and sharing her delicious meals with the world while we await her return.”
While the full menu is yet to be released, Lee assures there will be something for everyone with its rotating menu including halal meals, gluten and lactose-free options and a full vegan and vegetarian menu.
“Vegans and vegetarians can also be seated away from other patrons if requested to avoid smoke from barbecue meats,” he explains.
“Our head chef is also happy to adjust dishes wherever possible to accommodate patrons’ preferences.”
Lee is hoping to open KOSSO in the coming weeks but is yet to confirm an exact date.
KOSSO is located in Westfield, Tea Tree Plaza on the ground level at Shop 12
