Join JBF Greens for modern Korean cuisine at Baroo in the Arts District.

Run by husband-wife duo Kwang Uh and Mina Park, Baroo has been a long-standing project for them, appearing first as a 16-seat restaurant in East Hollywood (Baroo 1.0) and then as a pop-up in a flea market (Baroo Canteen).

Baroo specializes in innovative tasting menus with thought-provoking dish names like, "life begins" and "finally realize?", complemented by a robust bar program featuring Korean beverages. The mission, in Kwang and Mina's own words, is "to serve food with a beginner's mind."

For the occasion, Kwang will prepare a three-course menu that highlights whimsical Korean dishes with familiar, yet elevated flavors.

Wine pairings by The Calling.
