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.

Lovely family dinner at Baroo tonight! Service was warm, and pacing was excellent. My parents enjoyed the experience and also enjoyed the unique spin on traditional Korean foods! It was a memorable way to celebrate my father's 88th birthday!

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...Read More

Perfect service — loved it! Every staff member here is so friendly and professional! The food was great, especially the sauces and every entrée! The dessert wasn’t really our favorite, but it was still pretty good.

What an experience 👏 Truly did not expect it to be THAT good. So many restaurants in LA with great reviews end up being…meh. Baroo, though, exceeded all expectations of my party of three. We were floored. So many f-bombs and other joy-filled curse words...Read More
