The National Restaurant Association's "What's Hot 2025 Culinary Forecast" predicts that Southeast Asian flavors, particularly Korean cuisine, will gain popularity in restaurant menus next year.
Korean dishes like bibimbap and fried chicken are anticipated to be featured more prominently, backed by the success of restaurant chains like Bonchon and bb.q Chicken.
Other notable trends include an increased use of mushrooms in wellness-focused dishes and the emerging popularity of hot honey, which combines sweet and spicy flavors.
Culinary contests and popular documentaries such as "Street Food Asia" serve as evidence for this anticipated rise in Southeast Asian and specifically Korean flavors in dining.
