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

Michael Jordan's Steak House, the U.S. restaurant brand's lone outpost beyond America, has been declared "Korea's Best Hotel Restaurant 2026" by the World Culinary Awards. The prestigious honor was bestowed upon the steakhouse at a ceremony held in Jamaica on Wednesday. The awards honor exceptional restaurants and dining establishments, determined via votes from industry insiders, experts, and patrons.

The celebration is part of the World Travel Awards, often likened to the "Oscars of the travel industry." The Incheon-based restaurant debuted in 2023 as the brand's inaugural location outside the United States, offering a menu of steaks that had gained popularity in its native land. Cornerstone Restaurant Group manages the brand in collaboration with NBA icon Michael Jordan, who also owns two U.S. outlets in Chicago and Connecticut.

In June, the Incheon establishment received a Best of Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator, a prominent American wine publication, as part of its annual Restaurant Awards.
