The Comic Book Chef from ‘Culinary Class Wars' takes over Honjokko with time-limited dishes
Chef Cho's collaboration with Pirata group's own Korean-born executive chef Kyle Lee kicks off with dinner on July 4, followed by brunch and dinner on July 5. From oyster amuse bouche with a spicy Korean sauce, onion salsa, and tobiko; and Korean beef tartare contrasted with refreshing cold chicken and Sichuan cucumber salads, to a Korean take on the Japanese uni hot stone rice, diners can expect a delicious melding of Asia's best flavours, presented in chef Cho's signature experimental takes on cuisine. Highlights include the Korean soybean MacJeok seabass, and chef Cho's signature Dongpo pork complemented with mapo tofu and fried rice done the Korean way – the very dish that has guests clamouring to dine at his restaurants in Seoul. The feast is rounded off with a flower bun that comes with tofu cream, a playful full stop to culinary artistry and both chefs' Asian roots.
As for their brunch menu, they'll be serving dishes such as Korean fried chicken glazed in soy garlic, soybean paste soup, sweet and sour pork gyoza, triple-flavour kimbap, as well as the beloved Dongpo pork. The dinner service is priced at $580 per person and the brunch runs for $438; diners can also tack on Perrier-Jouët Champagne for $348 or a traditional soju pairing for $298.
And here's a heads up: Because there's been such overwhelming demand for seats on these two days, the chefs are adding a final dinner service on Sunday, July 6. Here's a great opportunity to meet this exciting on-screen chef in person, and to try the Comic Book Chef's offerings without the long waitlists and travelling to Korea.
Even if you can't grab a seat at this hot event, don't sweat it, because diners can still enjoy select dishes from this collaboration, which will be available at Honjokko until August 3. Find out more and make bookings at their official website.

We have extensive coverage of The Old Guard 2 on the site, including a movie review. You can find those HERE! Will there be The Old Guard 3? At the time of writing, Netflix hasn't renewed The Old Guard 3. The Old Guard 2 has been co-produced by Skydance Productions which is responsible for several franchise sequels such as Mission: Impossible, Star Trek and Terminator. However, with Netflix distributing The Old Guard 2, we will have to keep an eye out on the reception. Netflix usually announces sequels depending on the popularity, views and drop-off rates. Some movies are instantly renewed like Enola Holmes and Rebel Moon while others take years such as Extraction, Murder Mystery and The Old Guard itself. So, while The Old Guard 2 does have a steady fanbase which guarantees some modicum of success, there is still no news on a sequel. However, the original author and the cast are excited to turn it into a multi-series franchise which means there is hope. What do we know about The Old Guard 3? Not much is known about The Old Guard 3 at the moment, given that it has not been greenlit. However, Part 2 ends on a massive cliffhanger which means there is ample material for the next movie should it happen. On top of that, the movies are based on Greg Rucka's graphic novels of the same name, so there is definitely a framework ready to be followed. However, nothing is confirmed. We'll be sure to update this page as soon as any new information comes in. Would you like to see The Old Guard return with a Part 3? Or do you think the story has run its course?
