This Korean Spot is LA’s Hottest New Restaurant | On The Line | Bon Appétit

My fave thing about Kwang is that the entire time he's talking about his restaurant or food he's smiling.

[@dannggken]

This is my first time hearing about Baroo, and I am absolutely enthralled in Che Kwang Uh's energy and attention to detail. His energy as he moves throughout the day and works with his staff is quite refreshing and I'm stoked to visit now when I get the chance.

[@brozors]

Definitely worth the hype. The flavors are familiar, but incredible. Also, wife is the person that really got the chef to open their fine dining restaurant.

[@KathyHasRamen]

Baroo is a gorgeous restaurant, one of my favorites in LA! Every bite is delicious and the team there take great care to make you feel welcome. Definitely worth the reservation. Will go again when we’re celebrating birthdays or special occasions.

[@theconniechen]

I’ve been to baroo twice, and can attest that the food is excellent and the staff are sooo friendly. It’s a must go-to if you’re ever in LA!

[@Jim-nz2kr]

This guy is so happy i love it

[@SimplyK888]

He's in front of the camera for only about 15 mins....so we have no idea if that is his true self.

[@SheeshDumaaaaa]

@@SimplyK888 you must be fun at parties.

as a long time vegan with admiration for the culinary world, I LOVE that Borra considers us and give vegans and vegetarians the same quality of experience!!❤

[@Dan_d00d]

loving the R&D time and seeing the grp brainstorm style and head chef being open to all the input.

[@ruthnoyes4228]

I love the brainstorming tasting team session! Such an interesting glimpse into a collaborative, dedicated, skilled and positive atmosphere ❤

[@TheChosenRed]

Chef Kwang seems genuine and humble, enjoy his energy.

[@lauralinuesa8521]

Loved his accent when he said “people sometimes say… control freak” he cracked me up

[@jonathankim2167]

His kid has a desk in the restaurant 😮

[@windy.way0]

I haven't been in the industry for four years, but these videos never fail to pull me in

[@Sergeantpaprika]

This is awesome! Love learning about new restaurants through this series. Best of luck to the Baroo team!

[@ANTOCOOKINGART]

I appreciated the discovery of new ideas related to Buddhist temple cuisine recipes it is a new invention that has been prepared and brought to cook in order to share with chefs and customer and thank for you for your new idea and I support your video❤❤

[@bodyandsoulinconstanttrans9190]

what an amazing person and chef! best wishes

[@Cambowalks]

Really love your video, nice showing

[@jtuck682]

Simply amazing! I smiled all the way through the video. Great team assembled around the husband and wife. I am definitely going.

[@deathdude191]

that walk-in organization is insane!

[@somyung1991]

I am Korean, grow up Minnesota. I think it’s winter people make the fermented foods - there is homemade sauerkrauts to be found in Minnesota, and I find it very delicious!

[@gt-gamingx853]

Lovely korean guy , happy to see him running baroo, so wholesome 🥰

[@AndreggvilJammer]

Hope you guys can improve your closed captions. Lots of mistakes and misrepresentation in the subtitles, especially at 7:03 and 8:05. I don't know if you guys are relying on AI for this but even so, the least you could have done was give the subtitles a once-over and fact-check the terms to make sure the output wouldn't be as egregiously wrong as it is. Boiling down his words of "When I staged in Noma" to simply "When I start"; mislabeling Korean terminology (writing "cheonggukjang" when he said "doenjang", for instance); straight up making up words he didn't say - he was saying "golden nectar plum, mirabelle, and greengage plum" at 8:05, which is very obviously not "golden egg for prawn, birabel, and Korean gaji-namul"... Overall just a really poor subtitling job.

[@ot7stan207]

amen to that!

[@hatherinekeigl]

That’s def “AI” translation fwiw

[@tenyouusness]

For real. I thought the captioning was more dreadful than usual. It's been like this for years on the BA channel - so frustrating and at this point embarrassing.

[@TashJansson]

there's just something about food that looks like that and people who seem happy to make it ❤

[@WelaLife]

Never been, but am now intrigued ❤

[@rockyoh]

Wow, I been to this place 6 years ago, and I thought this place was amazing.

[@spider2544]

Absolutely my favorite restaurant in LA

[@siesinstrumentals3914]

Kwang might be one of the most chill people I’ve ever seen .

[@Wrasse-w5e]

That fish and the lobster look exquisite. They’re running a very tight ship. ✌️

[@khungreen9773]

What an adorable family and restaurant ❤

[@LightWarriors4Life]

Korean food is delicious 🤗 When it stays to its roots, it is phenomenal 😎

[@matthewteo486]

Worth it was here first

[@MarideMari82]

What a happy place ❤

[@gnadmot]

Great, guess I better get my reservation in before it gets difficult.

[@luukgx]

Spotted the Pilot G2 in the pre-shift, can't do without it ;)

[@hollivybez]

Totally planning to come for vegan food 🥘

[@chipsfred]

that red 다라이 is legit 🔥🔥🔥

[@Deezy_Dubz]

I live near LA. best believe me and the shawty finna pull up.

madlad is making his own soysauce? next level commitment

[@uchiha8183]

Sooooo cute

[@NhuNguyen-tz2nx]

looks amazing…

[@YouTubetail]

Delicious bro 👍🏼 cook

[@tumblajr]

Yum

[@ExuCaliba]

I go to Quarters often, the kbbq spot next to this restaurant. Will check this place out!

[@kaarens]

Quarters is in ktown and baroo is in arts district btw so you might be thinking of another restaurant

[@SonriseNshine]

Wrong restaurant. that’s danbi located in Chapman plaza

[@ExuCaliba]

@@SonriseNshine ohhhhh I am thinking of the wrong one 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂

[@ExuCaliba]

@@kaarens yea I realized, it's on the opposite direction but actually closer to where I live

[@pjacobsen1000]

Apprenticeship at NOMA, how bad can it be?

[@YHJoung-d5b]

ay mang i think team made a mistranslation at 9:40 where guy is sayin ban-sang (반상; 飯床) instead of ban-chan/pan-chan (반찬; 飯饌) namseng?

[@danielchen1813]

🎉🎉🎉

[@sympatyk8906]

👍

[@zohanthecspro]

Lol the chef was smiling so hard when the manager said "so tonight we have 69 covers"

[@yeowww2013]

I love his attitude and passion. Unfortunately he falls into the food nerd category. You play and do so much to it ingredients that you forgot what the ingredient was. Imo. Thank you.

[@burksregime315]

Take a shot every time he says fermentation. 😢

[@Daphreak696]

Are these subtitles auto generated or are they written by someone, cuz theyre so freaking bad.

[@AndreggvilJammer]

Agreed, they're horribly done

[@TintinBenjamin]

😋

[@Engi5027]

question for Koreans, I know you guys love fermented foods, so what do you think of American milk chocolate which uses fermented milk?

[@jc4jax]

it's fine, it's chocolate milk. We have a fermented sweet liquid yogurt in very small single serving plastic containers that drink as kids.

[@Engi5027]

@@jc4jax usually Europeans say American chocolate tastes like throwup lol

[@spoken2]

love how Asians don’t use articles when they speak. has been interesting to me .

[@tommyx2000]

Who’s here after culinary class wars haha

[@dcwei-xu3wn]

非常的好也非常的不好 就是把東西弄得好看一點 然後價格提高 很多餐廳現在都這樣無聊 也吃不飽

[@bobbymoss6160]

Looks nothing like Korean food.

[@leejc000]

Clearly you are not familiar with Korean cuisine fine dining

[@jasonhayman9521]

The chef literally said that it is MODERN Korean cuisine.

[@kennylee9959]

This is a reinterpretation of the Korean traditional culture food. Not a Street food.

[@nonebeach]

this sounds like bobby lee's fake korean accent lmfaoo

[@heheheheh356]

Fake Korean food. No Korean actually eats like this. This is just museum food for the white yupsters.
