A meal at Ebaes merges the traditional Asian flavors of Restaurant Manager Eric Bae’s Korean lineage and Head Chef Nicky Hanprom’s Thai roots and infuses them into popular dishes from around the globe.Both Bae and Hanprom’s previous work as artists lends to Ebaes’ instinct for creativity: hidden behind the restaurant’s dark wooden door is a patchwork of lights, atmosphere, and aromas that inspire the duo behind the scenes and capture the essence of Ebaes’ mission statement of bringing a truly original meal. Dishes commonly found in other Asian restaurants get a multicultural twist: from a signature Thai style ramen noodle to Japanese Poke to spicy tuna stuffed jalapenos. The dishes and décor are equally bold, creating die hard fans out of locals and the college students at USC close by. To visit Ebaes is like visiting a dynamic exhibit of food, art, and culture.Respecting the craft. Creating new culture.Unexpect Ebaes.
