    Korean Dinner Party Menus

    Published 11/17/2018. Updated 12/28/2021

    Some of my personal favorites to serve at dinner parties! There’s something for everyone — a casual dinner for a few people, a more elaborate dinner for a larger group, a vegan dinner, and a Korean street food menu.

    The holiday season is upon us! I’m sure many of you are planning holiday gatherings with family and friends. For your convenience, I put together some menu ideas for a Korean dinner party. This is an updated post of my December 2016 dinner party menus. I’ve updated the menus with new photos and added a Korean street food party menu.

    The recipes included are some of my personal favorites to serve at dinner parties. In this post, you will find four different menus — a casual dinner for a few people, a more elaborate dinner for a larger group, a vegan dinner, and a Korean street food menu.

    You can adjust the number of dishes you make from the menu depending on the number of your guests, and double or triple the recipes as necessary. The number of servings is provided in each recipe. These dinner menus can be served family style or buffet style.

    For cold days, you can also add a simple soup such as kongnamul guk and mu guk to any of these menus, especially if you have elderly guests. Rice and kimchi are the basics for a Korean table, so I did not add them to the menus here.

    A lot can be prepared ahead of time. You can certainly marinate your meat or make namul dishes a day in advance. With some planning and preparation ahead, you too can serve up a Korean feast everyone will be rave about!
