      Join Executive Chef, Hyokeun Choi of BODA this Restaurant Month as he takes you on a culinary journey across the Korean peninsula. Set set amidst dazzling views of the Waitematā Harbour, BODA Restaurant translated from the Korean word, Boda (보다) meaning “to watch or to see”, promises a feast for your eyes.. and your stomach!

       You're invited to taste a myriad of dishes showcasing the vibrant and regional flavours of Korea and beautiful fresh New Zealand produce and ingredients. From the piquant aromas of housemade gochugaru (Korean chilli powder) and tangy kimchi dishes found in the dining scene of Seoul, to the flavours of umami and all things piscine from Jeju Island. This will be a unique opportunity to experience the passion of this highly skilled and international chef, right here in the heart of the city.

      About Hyokeun Choi:
      Chef Hyokeun Choi is no stranger to refined Auckland kitchens. Upon his arrival in NZ, he landed his first job at Parnell institution, Cibo, then headed onto chef roles in well-established Auckland city restaurants such as The Grove, Baduzzi, Sofitel Auckland and Park Hyatt. Chef Hyokeun now leads the team at Boda Restaurant and oversees all food and beverage operations at the Mövenpick Hotel Auckland as Executive Chef, spearheading a contemporary Korean inspired menu that is a reflection of his culinary passion and influence.

      Seoul-born Executive Chef Hyokeun Choi draws on his culinary history starting with his childhood memories in the kitchen with his family. Chef Hyokeun attributes his skill of learning to source and cook with the best and freshest local ingredients of the season to his halmoeni (Korean for grandmother). It was also at this point where he discovered a passion for cooking and sought out a path in the culinary world, from humble beginnings as a kitchen hand, honing his techniques to eventually becoming a notable chef.
