Our Story
A quiet room, a
deliberate table.
Baroo is a modern Korean restaurant that reads its heritage carefully and then answers with something new. Every plate is a conversation between the rhythms of Korean tradition and the produce our farmers pull from Southern California soil that morning.
We keep the room small on purpose. Fewer seats, closer attention, a menu that turns with the seasons. What arrives at your table has been considered — the fermentation, the fire, the ceramic it rests on, the pace at which it reaches you.
