About Baroo

Watch on TikTok

Named the LA Times Restaurant of the Year 2024, Baroo is a six-course Korean tasting menu from chefs Kwang Uh and Mina Park, built around fermentation, seasonality, and the kind of ingredient obsession that defines a generational kitchen. The Arts District space is intimate and unhurried — every dish arrives as something you haven't seen before, even if the flavors feel ancestral. The scallop in watercress sauce with seaweed jelly is the kind of thing that makes you put your phone down.
