Finding halal food in Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok, or Taipei shouldn't mean scrolling through reviews hoping someone mentioned it. HalalNomad is a halal food finder built for Muslim travellers in non-Muslim-majority Asia โ€” 1,470+ places across 13 cities, each with a community trust level so you know how we know. TRUST LEVELS, NOT CLAIMS We never declare a place halal. Every place carries a trust level โ€” from Reported (sourced, unconfirmed) to Trusted (backed by a recognised certification body) โ€” built from what travellers have reported and confirmed. Every place shows its sources. TRIP PLANNING โ€” NEW Save places to trips as you plan. Your first save creates a trip automatically. Open a trip to see everything in it, reorder your plan, and search within a trip when deciding where to eat next. WORKS OFFLINE Everything you've seen โ€” places, trips, details, directions handoff โ€” works with no signal. Built for standing outside a restaurant with airport-WiFi-only roaming. FIND WHAT'S NEARBY Map, list, and browse views. Search by cuisine or name. Place names and addresses always shown in English and the local script together, so you can show your phone to anyone. HELP OTHER TRAVELLERS Confirm a place is still halal, flag one that's closed, add a place we're missing. Every contribution raises the trust level for the next traveller. Cities: Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Seoul, Bangkok, Singapore, Taipei, and more across Asia. halalnomad.travel

About

K

Traveling or living in Korea? K-Bap tells you what you can actually eat. SCAN ANY KOREAN MENU Point your camera at a menu โ€” K-Bap reads it, translates every dish, and flags what's risky for you, right on the photo. TELL US WHAT YOU AVOID Pick from 81 ingredients โ€” allergens, dietary needs, anything you skip. Every dish in the app is checked against your list. KNOW BEFORE YOU ORDER Each dish shows a clear Safe / Caution / Avoid label, what's inside, and why it was flagged. IT SPEAKS KOREAN FOR YOU Ask the restaurant in perfect Korean โ€” K-Bap writes the question ("Does this contain butter?") so you just show your screen. ORDER WITH CONFIDENCE One tap creates a Korean order card listing what you can't eat. Available in 10 languages. Risk labels are guidance, not medical advice โ€” always confirm with the restaurant.
