Kuji Asian Grill
1801 E . Gibson Rd .
When husband-and-wife chefs Kai and Suji Jung were considering what to offer at Kuji , the Asian-style grill they opened in 2019 , they went for the things they both like to eat . Davis native Kai is a “ sucker ” for pork belly , which they serve on a decadent salad . Kimchee is a huge part of Korean cuisine ( Suji hails from a restaurant family in Busan , South Korea ), so they make it in-house in a style that ’ s uniquely theirs . Because the couple met in Hawaii after earning culinary degrees , they ’ ve made plate lunch — a popular Hawaiian dish that includes a protein , rice and sides — the foundation of their menu . And be sure to try the bibimbap , a rice bowl that Kai calls an “ all-encompassing pot of deliciousness .”
