Lovely culinary experience, we simply were delighted by every dish on the tasting menu which is very rare. Lots of love, care and passion put into those dishes which you can feel throughout the experience. The service was in sync, the atmosphere urban sophisticated. I would definitely recommend and go back myself!

This place is great. Fantastic service and really creative tasting menu. I’ve never seen seaweed used in so many interesting ways. I got the non alcoholic pairing which was solid but I would’ve liked to see more use of texture- adding in some oils or emulsions to keep things interesting.

Been to quite a few nice restaurants, and michellin star restaurants, local or overseas. Being Korean myself, I have a higher standards when it comes to Korean food.

Start from the beginning, I had no issues with finding street parking, our reservation was for 18:30 for a family of four (my father’s birthday).

When you first walk into the restaurant, you were immediately greeted by a very welcoming hostess and guided to your table with personalized birthday message printed on the menu, and a table side basket for your jacket and bags.

Your waitress who was highly educated on their menu and drink choices and very well-mannered and with big smile the whole time during service, walks you and your party of 4 throughout the dining experience, even giving us pause in between for us to translate things to our parents.

Complementary champagne was great and a card at the end by the chef was also great.

The food here isn’t a KBBQ or a traditional Korean food, but a twisted and better modernized take on Korean food with stories. I’m pretty sure the menu changes with seasonal ingredients, what we had, we all enjoyed complimented with the great friendly service.

100% recommended, I honestly heard this place 10+ years ago from a friend, recommending them for their fermented ingredients, and I believe they used to be at a different and smaller location.

I’m glad I finally came and really enjoyed this dining experience.

What an absolutely incredible experience.
This was the best meal I’ve had in LA. It was creative, beautifully served and of course delicious.

All the personal touches for our anniversary really tipped it over the edge! A custom menu, a hand written card… so thoughtful!

I’ve been other fine dining Korean and normally disappointed since they try to make normal Korean dishes “elevated” when the traditional shouldn’t be changed. In my opinion Baroo did a great job of creating a fine dining experience with subtle korean flavours but not replicating or imitating the traditional Korean dishes. This avoided any comparisons and ultimately any disappointment. Beyond the great food the service was one of the best and we loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. Not pretentious while being refined. Looking forward to going back.

It ain’t cheap, but the menu was excellent. They did a great job modifying the menu for my Pescatarian kid as well. They may have rated it as their favorite tasting menu of all time. I do with they had some other beer options, like maybe an Asian IPA option, but alas. Outside that minimal complaint, it was fantastic.

If you need a place for an anniversary, birthday, or just treating yourself this was it. Beautiful atmosphere, service was impeccable and all the staff were super kind and attentive, every dish had such unique flavor combinations and was beyond delicious, and the Korean sool pairing matched really well with each course. And if you don’t drink their teas were also fantastic, I loved the white lotus tea!

I’ve never had Korean food like this. The flavors are so well balanced and delicious. Great service. $125 for 7 courses.

Interesting, creatively done! I just think that some of the dishes had really strong flavor/spices making it overpowering/salty. But that’s just my personal preference!

Didn’t disappoint. Most dishes featured some interesting form of in house fermentation. Everything was seasoned perfectly. They’re really good at constructing interesting sauces here that feature ingredients which may be less familiar, and yet still achieve a feeling of nostalgia. Amazing food.
