LA Star Dining｜I’d Call It the Best Korean Fine Dining in LA 🔥

Newly opened this year, Korean fine dining spot 🍴「Restaurant Ki」is located on the same floor as two of my favorite sushi spots (Bar Sawa & Kaneyoshi). Head Chef Kim trained at NYC’s three-Michelin-starred Jungsik and has also run restaurants here in LA. This time, he gathered other talented chefs to open Ki — and surprisingly, it already earned a Michelin recommendation just after opening! After dining here, I can say there was hardly a single miss. This meal was incredibly satisfying~ At the recent Michelin awards ceremony, they unsurprisingly received a well-deserved 🌟! A friend who dined here during their soft opening mentioned how much they’ve improved since then — truly impressive growth. ▫️ Menu Highlights • Firefly Squid with Red Chili and Crispy Seaweed Rice Wrap 💕 • Jackfish Sashimi with Kimchi and Shiso 🌿 • Crispy Outside, Tender Inside Octopus with Spicy Butter Sauce 💕 (Probably the best octopus I’ve ever had!) • Chrysanthemum, Scallop, and Caviar • Shiso Ice, Lemon Fern, Smoked Tomato • Lightly Seared Tuna with Pea and Smoked Soy Sauce 💕 • Grilled Freshwater Eel with Jumbo Crab Noodles 💕 (I absolutely loved this! Each noodle coated in rich crab sauce paired with grilled eel — perfection 💯) • Lobster with Doenjang and Raspberry 💕 • Sea Bass with Crispy Fish Skin and Bone Broth • Roasted Squab with Maple Liver Sauce 💕 (Another stunning dish — the chef said it takes 48 hours to prepare. So aromatic, tender, and delicious 🤤) ▫️ Desserts • Morel Mushroom and Cocoa Ice Cream Sandwich 🍄🟫💕 • Sorbet Made with Three Berries and Lemon • Orange-Flavored Cherimoya 💰 Tasting Menu: $285 per person Have you tried Restaurant Ki yet?
