One of LA’s Few Top-Tier Korean Restaurants｜Baroo 🧡

Honestly, Baroo is the most creative Korean dining experience I’ve had in LA—bar none. It’s not traditional Korean food at all—it’s modern Korean fusion with a focus on fermentation, and every dish feels like it tells a story. 🍽️✨ The head chef, Ray, is Korean and trained at Noma in Denmark. Baroo originally started as a hidden gem inside an LA mall, but now it’s reopened and climbed straight onto the list of top restaurants in the US. This is Korean cuisine with philosophical depth—sophisticated and soulful! 🌟 Now for the not-so-great part: The current menu only has five courses—which is pretty limited. For its price and positioning, this “minimalist” approach can leave you wanting more… or even feeling a bit shortchanged. Maybe the chef intended to tell a complete story with simplicity, but let’s be real—you might leave still hungry 😅. If you’re looking for a quiet, elevated Korean meal, Baroo is definitely worth a visit—but don’t expect to be full. Think of it more as an immersive flavor journey. 📍 905 E 2nd St #109, Los Angeles, CA 90012 Have you been to Baroo? What did you think of the minimalist menu—artistic or not enough?
