Mosu () is an upscale dining establishment operating in both Seoul, South Korea, and Hong Kong. Its origins trace back to San Francisco, California, where it first opened in 2015 before relocating to Seoul in 2017. The Hong Kong branch commenced operations on April 21, 2022, while the Seoul venue temporarily ceased service in 2024.[1][2]
Description
The restaurant’s title is derived from a segment of the romanized Korean term kosumosu (), which translates to cosmos flower.[3]
Established by Korean-American chef Anh Sung-jae, who moved to the United States at age 13, Mosu embodies his eclectic culinary influences that combine elements from Korean, Japanese, and French gastronomy.[3] The menu features a blend of Korean flavors with global ingredients.[3]
After securing a Michelin star during its inaugural year in San Francisco, Mosu transitioned to Seoul in 2017 and rapidly achieved two Michelin stars. The Hong Kong location was inaugurated in 2022. The Seoul site was awarded three Michelin stars for both 2023 and 2024,[1] was included in Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list in 2022, and received recognition as Korea's Best Restaurant in 2023. Following the conclusion of its previous investment partnership, the Seoul branch temporarily shut down in 2024, with intentions to reopen at a new location in 2025.[4]
