A UNIQUE Glasgow restaurant is marking its first birthday with a super food celebration.

Kimchi Cult on Chancellor Street is Scotland's first Korean style fast food restaurant, and has proved popular with city residents young and old since it opened last year.

To mark their first birthday on August 18, managers are to serve Korean-themed hotdogs, topped with mustard and kimchi, for £1 along with their regular food.

Over the next year owners Danny and Sarah O'Sullivan plan to expand further by opening six days a week instead of five, and broadening their menu.

Danny said: “Korean food has been gaining in popularity worldwide over the last few years. We find that our punk riffs on Korean classics, such as kimchi burgers, marinated bulgogi beef fries and Korean fried chicken, makes us accessible to wider audiences.

“We are a takeaway but not as you might know it. Specialising in comfort food with a Korean twist, you can forget your ordinary frozen fries – our food is handmade wherever possible, using fresh, quality, local ingredients and speciality Korean products that have to be ordered specially from the UK’s biggest Korean food importer, Korea Foods, in London.”

The diner was was opened by Irish Scots couple Danny and Sarah O’Sullivan.

The pair met while studying at Glasgow University, and after moving to South Korea for work they decided to set up shop selling their new favourite foods back in Glasgow.

Sarah said: "We wanted to share our new found love of the bold, punchy flavours and the much more social style of eating, back in the UK."
