1. Bium

    Temple Korean

    Bium is a fine-dining tasting menu rooted in Korean temple cuisine, and it might be the most genuinely calming meal you'll have anywhere. Every plant-based dish ties to one of the four Buddhist elements, the room is all wood and handmade paper, and the crowd tends toward the quietly reverent rather than the see-and-be-seen. No garlic, no onions, no noise. It landed on Asia's 50 Best for good reason.
