The service here was so good. Probably one of the best wine pairings I've had in LA. It was a nice mix or traditional and exciting wines. Always a sign of a good som when you love a wine so much you go buy it. Even better when the bottle is around 12 euros. I'm buying 5 and picking up from my friend in Germany one day.
I did the tasting in meat and the vegetarian. Both were exceptional, but the vegetarian was truly special. This really is the type of food you can't get in many places. No dish stood out, which is again, a great sign. The whole menu was extremely cohesive, and all flavors complimented the one that came before and after.
Can't wait to eat here again.

There wasn't a single dish on the tasting menu I didn't enjoy. It's fairly expensive but a value when compared to other tasting menus that are, IMO, no where near as good and cost dramatically more.

Baroo offers a truly unique dining experience that feels thoughtful and creative from start to finish. Every dish is beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The ingredients feel carefully sourced, and the menu changes keep things interesting. The atmosphere is calm and intimate, making it perfect for a special night out or a memorable meal with friends.

Interesting, creatively done! I just think that some of the dishes had really strong flavor/spices making it overpowering/salty. But that’s just my personal preference!

Lovely culinary experience, we simply were delighted by every dish on the tasting menu which is very rare. Lots of love, care and passion put into those dishes which you can feel throughout the experience. The service was in sync, the atmosphere urban sophisticated. I would definitely recommend and go back myself!

I’ve been other fine dining Korean and normally disappointed since they try to make normal Korean dishes “elevated” when the traditional shouldn’t be changed. In my opinion Baroo did a great job of creating a fine dining experience with subtle korean flavours but not replicating or imitating the traditional Korean dishes. This avoided any comparisons and ultimately any disappointment. Beyond the great food the service was one of the best and we loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. Not pretentious while being refined. Looking forward to going back.

I’ve never had Korean food like this. The flavors are so well balanced and delicious. Great service. $125 for 7 courses.
Wow wow wow Incredibly thoughtful and inventive dining experience! The food was exceptional, service 10 out of 10, wine pairing was so much fun and each glass paired beautifully with each dish.

Warm welcome, elegantly presented and delicious Korean flavors in a six-course prix fixe meal. You can pair with Western wines or Korean spirits. Or mix and match. We really enjoyed our meal.

It ain't cheap, but the menu was excellent. They did a great job modifying the menu for my Pescatarian kid as well. They may have rated it as their favorite tasting menu of all time. I do with they had some other beer options, like maybe an Asian IPA option, but alas. Outside that minimal complaint, it was fantastic.

Been to quite a few nice restaurants, and michellin star restaurants, local or overseas. Being Korean myself, I have a higher standards when it comes to Korean food.
Start from the beginning, I had no issues with finding street parking, our reservation was for 18:30 for a family of four (my father's birthday).
When you first walk into the restaurant, you were immediately greeted by a very welcoming hostess and guided to your table with personalized birthday message printed on the menu, and a table side basket for your jacket and bags.
Your waitress who was highly educated on their menu and drink choices and very well-mannered and with big smile the whole time during service, walks you and your party of 4 throughout the dining experience, even giving us pause in between for us to translate things to our parents.
Complementary champagne was great and a card at the end by the chef was also great.
The food here isn't a KBBQ or a traditional Korean food, but a twisted and better modernized take on Korean food with stories. I'm pretty sure the menu changes with seasonal ingredients, what we had, we all enjoyed complimented with the great friendly service.
100% recommended, I honestly heard this place 10+ years ago from a friend, recommending them for their fermented ingredients, and I believe they used to be at a different and smaller location.
I'm glad I finally came and really enjoyed this dining experience.

Went for my wife's birthday and had a tremendous time. The waiters were super attentive and the sommelier (I assume) offered great recommendations. The food was portioned well, timed great, and most importantly, tasted incredible. Finally, the vibes were immaculate, with great music in an intimate setting. Would definitely go again.
