“People say this is inspired by Buddhist temple cuisine. I try to reflect and put that spirit into what we are doing.” Today, Bon Appétit spends a day on the line with Chef Kwang Uh, co-owner of Baroo in Los Angeles. After gaining a loyal following during their first iteration in a mini mall, Baroo has returned after a few years away with a sophisticated tasting menu and a much bigger venue, earning the title of LA Times’ best restaurant of the year during their first year back.

ABOUT BON APPÉTIT
Bon Appétit is a highly opinionated food brand that wants everyone to love cooking and eating as much as we do. We believe in seasonal produce, properly salted pasta water, and developing recipes that anyone can make at home.
Baroo is a gorgeous restaurant, one of my favorites in LA! Every bite is delicious and the team there take great care to make you feel welcome. Definitely worth the reservation. Will go again when we’re celebrating birthdays or special occasions.
Loved his accent when he said “people sometimes say… control freak” he cracked me up
I love his attitude and passion. Unfortunately he falls into the food nerd category. You play and do so much to it ingredients that you forgot what the ingredient was. Imo. Thank you.
Kwang might be one of the most chill people I’ve ever seen .
