We Are Samchon — The Korean Uncle From Chennai.

Samchon Bunsik was born when Kim Myung-soo and Kim Hyo-jin, a couple from South Korea, packed their recipes, their passion, and their corndog expertise and moved to India. They fell in love with Chennai — and Chennai fell in love with their food.

In Korean, Samchon means uncle. Bunsik means simple, inexpensive street food — the kind of food that feeds the soul, not just the stomach. That is exactly what we make.

We started as a restaurant in Thiruvanmiyur, Chennai. Now we are bringing that same energy to your kitchen — through carefully crafted, restaurant-grade mixes and kits that let you cook authentic Korean street food at home, with no guesswork and no compromise.

Authentic Korean soul food, crafted with love by your favorite Samchon"
