Sun Kim brings Meta's Korean menu to Bangkok
The two-Michelin-star chef behind Singapore's Meta cooks three nights of an eight-course Korean tasting menu at a Bangkok hotel this month, before the early-bird rate ends.
Sun Kim, the two-Michelin-starred chef behind Meta in Singapore, is bringing an eight-course Korean tasting menu to TENKO Omakase in Bangkok for three nights, from 29 to 31 October.
The takeover runs at the Pullman Bangkok King Power, with two dinner sittings a night, at 5.30pm and 8pm. Kim cooks a contemporary Korean menu shaped by his own heritage and years spent working outside Korea, built around raw and lightly cooked seafood, grilled proteins and a French-trained sense of plating.
The set menu costs THB 9,500 net per person, with a wine pairing adding THB 2,500. An early-bird rate of THB 8,500 applies to bookings made before 23 October, and Accor Explorer or King Power members get a further 15% off.
A two-star Singapore kitchen, on loan to Bangkok for three nights only.
Kim opened Meta on Keong Saik Road in 2015 with one Michelin star, then moved the restaurant to Mohamed Sultan Road in mid-2024, where the Michelin Guide Singapore raised it to two stars that June. Meta ranked No. 28 on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants in 2024 and No. 39 in 2025, and the Michelin Guide Singapore has kept it at two stars every year since the move.
Sun Kim's training under Tetsuya Wakuda
Kim trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Sydney before working under chef Tetsuya Wakuda, first at Tetsuya's in Sydney and later at Waku Ghin in Singapore. That French-Japanese grounding still shows in Meta's technique, even as the menu has leaned further into Korean references in recent years.
Several cooks who passed through Meta's kitchen now run their own starred restaurants in Singapore, among them Louis Han and Kevin Wong — a lineage the city's dining scene increasingly traces back to Kim's pass.
Two sittings a night, booked with the hotel
Reservations go through TENKO Omakase and the Pullman Bangkok King Power directly rather than a general booking platform; the hotel asks guests to arrive 30 minutes before their sitting for a welcome drink.
Guest-chef takeovers like this one have become a routine way for Bangkok's hotel restaurants to borrow a neighbouring country's Michelin stars for a weekend, alongside bigger annual events such as the World Gourmet Festival. For anyone who hasn't managed to book a table at Meta itself, three nights at TENKO Omakase is the cheaper, closer substitute.
