Korean-headquartered global brand GOPIZZA launches its newest venture, Gochujang, an authentic Korean street food restaurant, on the 7th of June, 2025, at the Phoenix Mall of Asia, Bengaluru. With this opening, GOPIZZA officially adds a third brand to its umbrella, along with Dalkomi—a K-dessert cafe.
For the first time, food lovers can experience the complete Korean culinary journey – a one-stop destination – from GOPIZZA’s innovative Korean pizza and Gochujang’s authentic street food to Dalkomi’s indulgent Korean desserts, under one roof. GOPIZZA is creating India’s most comprehensive Korean food destination where every craving meets its perfect match – a little something for everyone.
Named after Korea’s iconic fermented red chilli paste – the heart of Korean street food culture – the “GO” prefix in ‘Gochujang’ is also a nod to parent brand GOPIZZA’s continuous expansion of Korean culinary experiences across India.
Both brands pilot first in India before going global. “India is a key market in our global growth strategy,” said Jaewon Lim, founder and CEO, Global GOPIZZA. “We’re actively seeking a master franchise partner and aim to launch 100 outlets across GOPIZZA, Gochujang, and Dalkomi by FY 2026. Our focus is to create integrated spaces where customers can enjoy all three brands under one roof — delivering a complete Korean food experience with operational efficiency.”
Gochujang brings to India its first-ever Korean QSR brand specializing in K-street food. From cheesy corn dogs that stretch for days to fiery tteokbokki and soul-warming ramen bowls, Gochujang serves authentic Korean street food classics that would make Seoul street vendors proud.
“GOPIZZA’s journey in India has shown us how much the Indian palate loves Korean cuisine,” added Mahesh Reddy, CEO, India, GOPIZZA. “With Gochujang, we’re offering a truly authentic Korean street food experience. From a single pizza brand to a multi-brand Korean food powerhouse, GOPIZZA currently operates 60+ outlets across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai.”
Right next door to Gochujang, Dalkomi – GOPIZZA’s Korean dessert brand opens its second location after a widely successful pilot launch at the Kempegowda International Airport. Spanning 650 sq ft, the launch of both brands next to each other is the start of creating the 3-brand Korean food hub – from spicy, soupy, to sweet, in one seamless experience. Dalkomi and Gochujang are all set to integrate into all GOPIZZA outlets nationwide, for both dine-in and delivery.
With high footfall, diverse demographics, and strong visibility, the Mall of Asia was chosen as the ideal location to launch these brands, making Korean cuisine more accessible and exciting than ever before.
