Restaurant Ki@Little Tokyo ★★★

Amazing Korean Fine Dining Grand Opening Day 3. By Japanese Michelin Star Kaneyoshi restaurant group. Chef Ki Kim from Restaurant Kinn. Grand opening on January 16. Fanciest Korean restaurant I’ve ever been. Love the balance of meat, seafood, and vegetables throughout the meal. Perfect portions. If you order a bottle of Kuheiji sake there, they will serve it in the exclusive Kuheiji wine glass. Happy to see Chef Shingo Kato previously from Michelin Star restaurant Uka there. $285 per person. Reservations on Tock. January fully booked. $10 parking in private lot in weekends.
