Ricky's Kitchen Pop-Up@Koreatown ★★★

Great Modern Korean Cuisine. Chef Pop up Series Vol.2 : Ricky's Kitchen. 2 nights pop-up 3/1 & 3/2 at Jilli Los Angeles. Love the Asian flavor & spices. The Short Rib could also be nice with a side of rice. Potatoes were flavorful & crispy. Shareable plates. 4 of us ordered all 6 dishes on the menu to share. Finally get to meet Chef Ricky Hwang from Kinn, Baroo, Shiku & made by hibi. Currently at Lulu Restaurant. Loud bar energy. Limited parking in Koreatown. $30 valet or lot parking or street parking around the blocks.
