Here's Looking At You
Price: Expensive•Contemporary American•4.8(948)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.
In 2022, it was included in NY Times list "50 Best Restaurants in America." In 2024, it was ranked #15 in LA Times list "101 Best Restaurants in LA."Guelaguetza
Price: Moderate•Mexican•4.7(404)Our family was born in Oaxaca and migrated to the US in 1994. Ever since then, our goal has been to showcase not only our family recipes, but also the hard work and dedication that goes into each of them. Each year, we travel to Oaxaca, and hand pick our ingredients, and carefully select the people we partner with. Guelaguetza is a restaurant, boutique market, and advocates for Oaxacan culture located in the heart of Korea-town in Los Angeles. Our motivation behind our products is simple: uncompromising quality. The products found in our store have taken years of development, and we hope that when taking your first taste of our Mole, or your first sip of our Michelada, you are transported into what Oaxaca means to us...a true Guelaguetza.
Umaya
Price: Very Expensive•Japanese•4.7(80)Nestled in the heart of the K-town, Umaya LA - Kaiseki & Sushi is a culinary haven that transports guests to the enchanting world of traditional Japanese gastronomy. With a focus on impeccable craftsmanship, artful presentation, and the finest ingredients, Umaya LA offers a symphony of flavors that dance on the palate, creating a memorable dining experience that lingers in the senses long after the meal is over.Norikaya
Price: Expensive•Japanese•4.6(33)Norikaya is a Handrolls & Izakaya concept by Michelin starred Chef Akira Back, offering an elevated Japanese culinary experience, focusing on refined small plates that showcase the art of simplicity and precision.
With a luxurious yet intimate atmosphere, Norikaya delivers signature dishes such as delicately crafted temaki, fresh sashimi, and seasonal tasting menus designed to highlight the finest ingredients.
Each meal is a curated journey through Japanese flavours, accompanied by a carefully selected range of sake and wines. Norikaya is the perfect setting for a sophisticated evening of exquisite Japanese cuisine and exceptional service.
Openaire
Price: Expensive•Californian•4.4(2,364)Native Angeleno, surfer and two-Michelin star chef Josiah Citrin brings a culinary vision built around California’s bounty from land and sea to Openaire. The menu and ingredients reflect the seasons and the interplay of cultural influences that define LA, serving in a lush greenhouse and tented garden oasis on the 2nd floor terrace at the LINE hotel, in the heart of K-Town.
For inquiries of 10+ guests, please email us at: Openaire@TheLineHotel.com.Caffe Concerto
