Chinatown/Echo Park Border
Vibes: Healthy Haven Hidden Gems Heaven Brunch Bliss Spots Solo Dining Sanctuaries
A courtyard banchan and lunch-plate spot from chef Jihee Kim, focused on vegetables, fermentation, and bright seasonal flavors. The menu is compact but thoughtful, and the outdoor seating makes it feel like a calm reset in the middle of Chinatown. Perfect for a lingering midday meal with a rotating lineup of sides.
Must-Try Dishes: Dosirak lunch box combo, Seasonal banchan sampler, Perilla oil noodles (when available)
