A Growing Business

The film depicts a small town where the local Chinese restaurant, Chung-Wha-Roo, faces fierce competition from a new establishment called A-Bang-Goong. Initially, A-Bang-Goong appears uninviting and lacks enthusiasm, with a warehouse-like exterior and unprofessional staff. However, the restaurant's limited menu quickly gains popularity due to its exceptional flavor, transforming it into a local sensation.

As A-Bang-Goong rises in fame, the owner of Chung-Wha-Roo, WANG, becomes increasingly desperate to regain his customers. In a surprising twist, WANG's visit to taste his rival's dishes leads to a horrific discovery, blending elements of horror with the comedic undertones of the competition. With a cast featuring Kim Seung-woo and Jin Hee-kyung, A Growing Business offers a unique take on the culinary genre, making it an interesting pick for collectors of international films from the late 90s.
