Where Food Meets Games
Born in Hongdae. Built for gamers. Loved by everyone who believes great food and great gameplay belong together.
Founded on a Simple Belief
ROVDIKA was founded in 2022 by Kim Siwon and Park Jiyeon — a chef and a competitive gamer who met at a tournament in Hongdae and shared the same frustration: why did you have to choose between a great games setup and a good meal?
They spent 18 months developing the concept, sourcing premium hardware, and perfecting the kitchen menu before opening ROVDIKA's doors in March 2022. The response was immediate — a 3-hour queue on opening day.
Today, ROVDIKA is Seoul's most recognized games cafe, hosting weekly tournaments, corporate events, and over 50,000 monthly visits — and we're just getting started.
