As cultural exchange between China and Korea continues to grow, Chinese food culture is becoming more popular in Korea. Academic research on Chinese food culture is also increasing. However, the existing analyses of the Korean translation strategy for adopting Chinese food names are mostly based on data from published books, and there are few studies or documentaries that explain this strategy. There are two research questions included in this paper: 1) What is the Korean translation strategy for Chinese food names in documentaries? 2) Is there any difference in the translation strategies used in documentaries and books? In order to analyze the translation strategies used in documentaries to translate Chinese food names, "Once Upon a Bite 2" was selected as the main data, and two other documentaries and three books were selected as secondary data to answer these questions. The conclusion of this study is summarized as follows: documentaries tend to adopt foreignization translation strategies when translating Chinese food names into Korean, while books tend to adopt domestication translation strategies.
