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!

Baroo serves a fixed price menu of elevated Korean cuisine, with optional wine or Korean booze pairings and a la carte cocktails. The multi course menu covers a lot of Korean flavors and textures. It is inventive while still being concretely Korean. The wine pairings are thoughtful and well-considered. The service is very good and kind. It isn’t cheap, but is worth it for the quality and quantity of the food — a good special occasion spot.

Hubby and I went there last night for a pre-celebration for a key milestone wedding anniversary. Despite decades together, we still enjoy being together! Our dining experience from the stunning & delicious food to the attentive yet unpretentious service from Trang, Tina and colleagues to gracious hospitality from Chef Kwang and his wife, Mina, capped by a lovely note of congratulations made for a stellar evening that we look forward to repeating on future visits! Also appreciated thoughtful music that allowed diners to converse comfortably.

The restaurant is presented on its website as Modern Korean Restaurant, so my expectations were quiet high. Unfortunately, the dishes lacked authentic Korean flavors, and the tasting menu showed little harmony in ingredients and unclear inspiration. The portions were also too small to fully enjoy. Overall, while the presentation was appealing, the taste did not live up to the promise, and the $125 set menu felt disappointing for the price.

I don't have much else to add to the other positive reviews, except that I had the vegetarian menu and I can absolutely vouch for it.
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.

Second time visiting here! Baroo is my fav Korean fine dining restaurant in LA! Came here with my family for our celebration of graduation. I was pleasantly surprised that they slightly changed some tasting menu and drinks since my last visit. Loved their Monkey Business! Very smooth yet yummy makgeoli (Korean rice wine)! Tosung was so-so for me but still liked their refreshness. In terms of tasting menu, 7 courses were great and filled my tummy! My fav dishes were black cod, rice, and dessert!! I liked how the staff stayed attentive and wiped the table after every dish. They also provided us small drinks of makgeoli to help celebrate. If you have any special occasion to celebrate in LA, Baroo is a perfect place to do! Their dishes are delicate and delicious! Reservation is required. You can park at the public garage next to the restaurant (you will get a code for small discount so make sure to choose “restaurant” option when you are paying at the ticket machine). Look forward to visiting here again in the future! :)

Our dinner was an exploration of modern, delicate, delicious Korean food.
The meal was comprised of six courses progressing from small, delicate bites like a celeriac puree topped with preserved apple foam to hay-smoked amberjack.
His undeniable favourite course was also the most eye-catching; the short rib ssam. We split the pork collar and short rib ssam so that we could try both. The rice that paired with the dishes was out of this world.
My favourite was either the soy-braised black cod or the hay-smoked amberjack.
Definitely new perspective on Korean food for both of us.
