Chef’s Noodle continues expansion in Phl

MANILA, Philippines - When it comes to finding success in the food service industry, what are the things that  any discerning entrepreneur should take note of? Saleability, quality, and of course, sustainability. While startup companies continue to attract enterprising individuals, franchising has remained to be the smarter option especially for first-time entrepreneurs.

This is why along with the rise in popularity of all things Korean, it brought forth the entry of many successful Korean brands in the country such as cosmetics, clothes, automotives, gadgets, and of course, food.

With food always being a profitable venture, it definitely makes for a nice business option even for relative newbies. However, when it comes to picking out a specific business to invest in, brand name is always of utmost importance.

For those who are trying to explore possible business options, Korea’s popular restaurant franchise has proven to be quite a hit among Filipinos. With the Philippines having first acquired the master franchise for Chef’s Noodle, it just shows how the company sees great potential in this emerging market.

Offering an exciting mix of dishes, Chef’s Noodle is best known for its Starking Fire Sushi, which is a flavorful dish composed of sushi rice topped with thinly sliced Australian beef torched and served with special sushi sauce. This dish was made popular by Chef Choi In Sun, a popular Korean chef who featured the dish in Starking Show, a Korean food show. Given his popularity, it was only fitting for the restaurant to tap Chef Choi In Sun to develop the menu.

Aside from its signature dishes, Chef’s Noodle also carries popular Korean specialties like bibimbap, Korean pancakes, and bulgogi. Offering large servings, it definitely gives diners more value for their money.
