• Contemporary American • Koreatown
Booked 21 times today
We are an eclectic Los Angeles restaurant, located in Koreatown, heralded for its creativity and genre-defying cuisine. Their first restaurant together, owners Lien Ta and Chef Jonathan Whitener opened Here's Looking At You in 2016. Named a "Restaurant of the Year" by Food & Wine Magazine and one of Eater National's "38 Most Essential Restaurants," HLAY was also the subject of author Patric Kuh's "Becoming a Restaurateur." After four magical years as a small independent restaurant, COVID-19 would force its forever closure. But 17 months later, fate would have it that the community would come together to help resurrect this very special restaurant. Thanks to you, Here's Looking At You is back.

    This was my first time indulging in Bavel and I’m surprised it took me this long! The food was better than I expected and definitely is a standout in terms of unique flavor that go beyond the normal LA food scene taste. The service is one to admire - excellent timing and a great explanation of every dish. We especially appreciated the napkin folding during “bathroom breaks”. Can’t stop thinking about the celery root and rack of lamb.
