Maru Korean Restaurant

The lights are off, but the memories will stay forever.

Thank you to everyone who came through our doors, supported us, and loved our food.
Your messages, kindness, and heartbreak mean more than you know.

Goodbye, and thank you for being part of our journey. ❤️

The restaurant will soon continue with new owners, who will be opening a Portuguese restaurant and bar. We wish them all the very best, and hope you will continue to support them and other local independent businesses.

Small local businesses only survive with community support. If we don’t support them, sadly many won’t survive.

Please continue to support local, independent restaurants and businesses. ❤️

Dear customers,

We are very sorry to announce that our restaurant will be closing from tomorrow.
Tonight will be your last chance to enjoy our delicious authentic Korean food with us.

We would like to sincerely thank all of our wonderful customers for your love and support over the past several years. This restaurant has proudly been run by Korean owners for nearly two decades, and we are deeply grateful for all the memories we have shared together.

Although this place will no longer continue as a Korean restaurant, we truly hope you will continue to support other Korean cafés and restaurants in Bournemouth and keep enjoying Korean culture and food.

It is very difficult for us to say goodbye, and our hearts are full of gratitude and emotion. Thank you for being part of our journey, for your kindness, loyalty, and encouragement throughout the years.

We will never forget you.

With heartfelt thanks
Hyunshil and Young
