The meaning behind our name.
Halmony. (Sounds like Harmony.) It means grandmother in Korean. The matriarchs in our family are the inspiration for our desire to create modern cultural cuisine. They loved us through the meals they prepared, and despite scarcity and lack, used their creativity to make abundance. From their most basic desire to feed us emerged a cuisine. Women of color like them are true culinary geniuses.
Modern. While our foods are rooted in tradition, we push the limits on new and exciting flavors that reflect the diversity of today’s global cuisine.
For the Culture. The food of immigrants and diverse communities should be valued and celebrated. Our tagline recognizes that culture, homeland, and identity is central to our brand.
Matriarchs are shown in order of appearance: Shim Soon Yi, Chong Suk Gregory, D’alton Adrianne Williams, and Eliza Williamson
