Sharing the Warmth and Care
of Grandma’s Table with the World.
Grandma's “Buttumak?"
Where Our Name
Comes From
“Buttumak” is a Korean word for the traditional kitchen hearth —
the warm, lived-in space where rice was cooked, soup simmered, and the family naturally gathered.
It represents more than just a place to cook; it is a symbol of comfort, care, and everyday togetherness.
Halmeoni (Grandma)
In Korea, “Halmeoni” means more than just a grandmother. She represents warmth, sincerity, care, and the comforting spirit of home-cooked meals.
Buttumak (Traditional Stove)
A “Buttumak” is the traditional cooking hearth once found in Korean homes— the place where rice, soup, stews, and side dishes were prepared every day.

At Grandma’s Buttumak, we are inspired by the warmth and care of the meals our grandmothers prepared. We created a Korean “Baekban” restaurant brand so that anyone, anywhere, can enjoy a comforting, home-style meal.
Baekban is a traditional Korean set meal consisting of one main dish served with a variety of side dishes. Warm rice, soup, and multiple banchan (side dishes) come together to form a wholesome meal enjoyed by people of all ages.
For us, food is more than a meal. It is a way to comfort someone’s day and share a moment of warmth. This sincerity has resonated with many, and Grandma’s Buttumak is now expanding from Korea to tables around the world.
