Michael Jordan's Steak House named Korea's best hotel restaurant

Michael Jordan's Steak House, the sole U.S. restaurant brand outlet outside America, was crowned "Korea’s Best Hotel Restaurant 2026" at the World Culinary Awards. The prestigious honor was bestowed upon the steakhouse during a ceremony held on Wednesday in Jamaica. The accolade was announced by INSPIRE Entertainment Resort in Incheon, the establishment's host venue.

The restaurant awards were determined through a voting process that included input from industry professionals, experts, and consumers. The World Culinary Awards, which takes place concurrently with the World Travel Awards—often referred to as the "Oscars of the travel industry"—recognize exceptional restaurants and culinary destinations.

The Incheon-based steakhouse debuted in 2023 as the brand's inaugural and exclusive venture beyond the United States, offering a menu of steaks that had garnered popularity in its homeland. Cornerstone Restaurant Group manages the brand alongside Michael Jordan, who co-owns two U.S. locations in Chicago and Connecticut. In June, the Incheon establishment also earned a Best of Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator, a prominent American wine magazine, as part of its annual Restaurant Awards.
