This Week’s Curators: Kwang Uh & Mina Park of Baroo
Baroo is one of the most original restaurants in Los Angeles. Husband-and-wife chefs Kwang Uh and Mina Park reopened it in the Arts District in 2023 as a relaxed, modern Korean tasting menu, and it quickly became one of the city’s most talked-about tables. It was named the LA Times Restaurant of the Year in 2024, and in 2026 Kwang was a James Beard finalist for Best Chef: California.
Kwang was born and raised in Seoul. He trained at the Culinary Institute of America and earned a master’s from the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Bra, Italy, where he wrote his thesis on Korean fermentation. He cooked at Daniel and Picholine in New York and Mingles in Seoul, and staged at Noma, Quique Dacosta and Piazza Duomo, before opening the original Baroo in 2015. Mina is Korean American and practiced law before starting her culinary pop-up, Sook, in Hong Kong in 2013.
The two met at the temple of the Venerable Jeong Kwan, the Buddhist nun and celebrated temple-food chef. Korean Buddhist principles of compassion and interconnectedness still shape how they cook and run their restaurant.
Order by Thursday 9 PM or until sold out for next Friday’s delivery (LA only).
