We were really looking forward to our meal here esp because
We were really looking forward to our meal here esp because I love Korean food with a modern upscale twist to it, but unfortunately they missed the mark on a lot of items. The mushroom and eggs dish has a good smokiness to it and the eggs were poached well but the undercooked celery pieces really threw us off. Maybe a softer, eastern vegetable would've worked better? The bibimbap, which is one of the most well known Korean dishes, didmt even have gochujang sauce in it. The rice was mushy and the bowl that was served in was way too big for the serving size. I understand that modern twists/fusion dishes don't exactly follow the classical recipe, but it was far too different to be called a bibimbap. It had kale with no gochujang-based sauce and not even any carrots or bean sprouts. The sweet potato cake didn't have any sweet potato taste to it. We thought it just tasted like a vanilla banana cake that was dry and crusty. I think the best thing was the fried octopus, and I'm glad they at least know their strengths because they said that was their signature dish. For the course price this place really wasn't worth it for us.
Be the first to ReplyMy favorite items on the menu were probably the bibambap,
My favorite items on the menu were probably the bibambap, octopus, and albalone. Nothing on the menu was super special in my opinion though, it was all familiar flavors. For example, one of the dishes had kimchi but the fermentation flavor tasted similar to Taiwanese kimchi that I have had and made before. Therefore, to me I didn't feel that the dishes were as unique or special since I could find those flavors at other restaurants (less high end and pricey too). The space was cramped too since we sat at the bar and since the room was pretty small, it was a bit loud. The service was also mediocre. I asked for water a couple of times and they only gave it after a while. For the price, I feel that service could be better for sure. The ingredient were fresh but for the price, I'm not sure the tasting menu is worth it. Apart from the abalone and octopus, I don't see there were any pricey ingredients used so I'm unsure why the menu is so expensive for what it is. I think other tasting menus I've had are definitely more worth it. There is a parking lot around the corner for the restaurant (valet only) or you could find street parking too since it's in ktown. Overall, I would probably not try this place again unless the menu drastically changed.
Be the first to ReplyEverything was perfect.
Glad I was able to have the experience before their last day. Once you finish a dish you just want more. I hope to try chef ki's food again.
Be the first to ReplyIm so sad this place is closing, it was one of the best
Im so sad this place is closing, it was one of the best meals ive ever had. Every dish was so creative, thiughtful and exceptionally prepared. Where else would you find perilla ice cream and tomato with jelly? Every dish had its highlights and i cant recommend this place enough. Thank you for an amazing meal and memory.
Be the first to ReplyLoved this place! (My boyfriend surprised me with this
Loved this place! (My boyfriend surprised me with this dinner for my birthday so I could also be biased). Very cute, intimate place with moody lighting (could be bad for photos). I went a week ago but I still think about the crispy octopus. I can see how they pulled Korean elements in each dish which didn't really stand out to me, but nonetheless it was a delicious meal. We also got a bottle of makgeolli which was sweet and very yummy. Valet parking in the back was $10 but you could also just go to madang and buy something for their 2 hour validation. Overall, loved this place and would go back during the different seasons to try out the menus!
Be the first to ReplyIn the middle of hustling and bustling ktown is Kinn.
The omakase is reasonably priced at $95/person and had a good variety totaling 7 dishes. They rotate the menu quite a bit so we got the decadent autumn menu on a cool November evening. My friends say the summer menu was a bit brighter in the flavor profile to match the weather and appetite. I appreciate that thought process. Overall everything was delicious and the standouts for me are the steamed abalone and the crispy octopus. Definitely left full and happy and ready for food coma. Great wine selection. We brought our own and bought a bottle. Service was warm and fantastic. They kept the pours coming while we chatted the night away. Good for intimate night out or friends gatherings. Typical ktown backlot valet or limited street parking.
Be the first to ReplyThe food is spot on.
My favorite dish was the octopus. It had a perfect crunch on the outside while being super tender inside. Not to mention the flavor was perfect. The first dish with the Mushrooms (sorry cannot recall the name) was also one of my favorites. Subtle but incredible flavor. The ambiance is great. Warm feeling. The staff were very nice. I would have given them 5 stars if only for 1 slight issue, not with the staff or the food. They sat us at the bar, with plenty of room as it was not that busy but the couple that came in after us they say right next to us at the bar. The gentleman was constantly clearing his nose. I had to keep my back turned to them as the loud constant snorting sound was just grossing me out. My wife had asked me what was wrong, and I whispered to her and then she could not un-hear at that point, I wish I had never told her. She could not hear it that well because his wife or girlfriend was sitting next to me. Honestly, if you have to clear your nose that often and that loudly you should just stay home. I should have asked to move but I was thinking since the size is small I was going to hear that no matter where we sat. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Everything was delicious (couldn't find a weak spot if I tried), you can tell the love is in every dish and every bite. That octopus tho... insane. Could eat it every day until I die and never get sick of it. This may be controversial but I spent like 3x more at Providence a couple months ago and was not even 1/2 as satisfied with that meal. Thank you for inviting us to experience this amazing food, and for making it approachable. I'll be back soon.
Be the first to ReplyI love how this place is small and intimate.
I do love how their menu is seasonal. Which makes you have to come back to try their new dishes. The best dish is the Octopus. I did leave slightly hungry cause their dishes was small, but I still like to come back to try their new menu. Service was super!!! 5 star.
Be the first to ReplyKinn has been on my radar for over a year now and finally
Kinn has been on my radar for over a year now and finally had the chance to give it a try. I'm giving Kinn 3.5 stars despite not being completely blown away by the experience. It is certainly a very good restaurant, but some of the dishes lacked flavor. Tasting Menu 7 course at $95. Here were my favorite dishes. Mushroom & Egg- This surprisingly was my favorite dish of the night. The flavor of the mushrooms stood right out, and the creaminess of the poached egg took it to another level. Charcoal Grilled Mackerel - This dish came is second of favorite. The mackerel was perfect grilled. The skin was crispy, and meat was flaky, fatty, and moist. It we served with house made kimchi, which was perfect together. Crispy Octopus - Third favorite dish of the course. I love Octopus, and KInn does damn well. The octopus had a perfect crispy on the outside while still being tender. The gochujang aioli was lacking flavor, tho. The rest of the dishes were ok Abalone- didn't taste much of the abalone at all. Braised Pork - This, to me, was your average smoked pork shoulder and char for that nice crust. Autumn Bibimbap- I appreciate all textures of this course with various veggies, but seriously, flavor was lacking. Service was outstanding and professional. They have street parking and valet. Overall , we enjoyed Kinn. I do recommend giving them a try.

Horrible service and food was bland for what you're paying for. Definitely overhyped.
Be the first to ReplyLA is poppin' right now in regards to hot new restaurants
LA is poppin' right now in regards to hot new restaurants springing up from the ground on just about every block, and one that should definitely be on your radar is @kinn.la, located in Koreatown (Los Angeles). Chef Ki Kim, previously of Jungsik and Atomix in New York City, and former chef of Naemo in Los Angeles, recently teamed up with the owners of Hanchic to open Kinn, an intimate 20-seat restaurant serving a low key five-course seasonal tasting menu meant to showcase familiar Korean dishes and flavors in reimagined formats. The tasting menu starts at $79 per person, which is one of the most cost-effective tasting menus in LA, with an option to add an octopus supplement for $21. In all reality, you don't want to miss the crispy octopus dish (it's soooooo good), so you can go ahead and assume your tasting will be $100 even. Still, definitely an amazing price for the excellent flavors, amazing service (the manager came from n/Naka so we were well taken care of) and overall great experience. Is Kinn worth the hype? Yes, most definitely.
Be the first to ReplyGood tasting menu.
Reasonable price and good service. Place is kind of small so make your reservation early
Be the first to ReplyCame here based on a recommendation from a friend! I
Came here based on a recommendation from a friend! I thought the food was quite tasty and a fun spin on some traditional Korean dishes. My favorite was the pork belly and the crispy octopus. Would recommend!
Be the first to ReplyThe ambience is a cute little place with only few selected
The ambience is a cute little place with only few selected tables to sit and with counter tops. We sat at the countertop, and started with a few glasses of wine. The selection is wine, sake, and I believe beer. Each course was delicious! Given it's LA and the provide for the tasting was $79 is awesome. We do not eat pork and they were able to accommodate us since we emailed them in advance. We added the octopus and it was one of the best octopuses we've had! The gochujang sauce was so good and paired really well with the octopus. Each dish was good in flavor. Though my bourbon tres leeches was too strong in flavor of the bourbon tasted like they poured a shot in my cake though that wasn't the case for my partner. So seemed to be inconsistent.
Be the first to ReplyBest dish from here was the Bourbon Tres Leches--flavorful
Best dish from here was the Bourbon Tres Leches--flavorful with a hint of bourbon with just enough sweetness and contrasted by the kumquat. Overall all the dishes fell short of expectations. They were either too one noted with not enough separation of flavors or one component of the dish was too salty. For $79/pp with a $21 supplement, I would've expected a bit more. Seems like the dishes could never find the balance it sought to achieve with barely any hints of striking Korean flavors I've become accustomed to. This place is trying to be low key and it under-delivers on that as well. With a price like that it's hard to justify...as infatuation said "a massive candlelit sauna."Servers were great though! Attentive, fast, and can explain each dish in great detail. Also, what's with the presentation of the pork jowl? lol
Be the first to ReplyFirst things first.
. the waitress... jay? She was so short with me when I asked for a different table. It's not that big of a deal..Service is robotic.Small place with a weird smell.Food was okay . was eating tapas where your friend picks out the items.. Don't know what the hype was about.
Be the first to ReplyNot sure what the hype is about.
I think everything was pretty mediocre aside from their Kurodai Mulhwe! Their beef tartare is unique however, I think is a one try thing and I would never crave it again. They're octopus was so salty - I gave it a second bite and had it down 2 cups of water. Their winter squash over rice was good - I liked the crispiness of whatever was inside. They're bourbon dessert was a no go. How are they going to serve that to customers that don't drink alcohol, or do not like the taste of alcohol?I would recommend going to Gish in Santa Clara if you're ever there! Cheaper price and it's way better - they change their menu every month and I've gone 6 consecutive months, and everything was delicious! Ambience is nice though! The servers were great and attentive :) I wish I wasn't so harsh on this review, but I really was not impressed - I truly feel sorry
Be the first to ReplyAnnoying that they never answer the phone and their
Annoying that they never answer the phone and their cancellation policy. Not too impressed. Couldn't even eat 2 of the courses cause it was so salty. Although they mentioned some Korean ingredients I could barely taste it. Service was good but nothing too special.
Be the first to ReplyI loveeee KINN .
This is def one of my favorite restaurants in Ktown. Highly recommend trying out this restaurant. I also made an amateur review of this restaurant on my youtube channel. Check it out and show some love. Thank you! Here's the link <a href="/redir?url=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2F8UUBpX-uyDk&s=ab9819a27cb20bcfbe9decfa7e66814dd1edc7fe66851b75da50864d32d086a0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">youtu.be/8UUBpX-uyDk</a>
Be the first to ReplyRefined but unpretentious.
Really beautiful presentation yet delicious. I highly recommend the tasting menu here.
Be the first to ReplyKinn is like a hole in a wall kind of place.
If you blink you might miss it. However, don't be fooled by how small the restaurant is because it delivers big on flavor, presentation and service. Came across Kinn from a list of best new restaurants in Los Angeles Forbes published recently. It is tasting menu only. Menu changes periodically. $79 per person. You can add the crispy octopus for an additional $21 (as of 1/17/2023). We love sitting at the chef's counter just watching the magic happen. Plates that stood out are the kurodai mulhwe, crispy octopus and pork jowl. The smoked roes in kurodai mulhwe added such umami to the dish. So good!! The crispy octopus is probably the best octopus I have ever tasted. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water and it's worth the extra charge. The only dish that did not tickle my fancy was the winter squash. The texture of crispy quinoa was fun, but the whole thing was rather bland. Service was very attentive and food came out in a timely manner. I wouldn't be surprised if Kinn gets a Michelin star the next time they make their rounds in Los Angeles. It certainly has the potential and I hope Chef Kim keeps up the good work!
Be the first to ReplyThe BBQ octopus is the best preparation of this I have
The BBQ octopus is the best preparation of this I have every had. Can't wait to dine here again. I wasn't very impressed by the wine list, might see what their corkage policy is and bring a bottle next time. The entire prix fixe was delicious, and as stated earlier, the octopus was the highlight!
Be the first to ReplyCame here for as it is the new hot and popular restaurant
Came here for as it is the new hot and popular restaurant in ktown LA. Have to say friends were right probably should come here with a not very hungry stomach as the food portion was small.Most memorable dish was probably the octopus as it was so well made and crispy. The steamed egg with veggies were also very good. Also really liked the ice cream with slush at the end a lot. The black cod was a bit salty though. Parking: - There is Valet parking at the corner for $8
Be the first to ReplyKorean fine dining in ktown was a bold move.
Koreans in LA have a high bar for Korean food because of the history of 1st gen restauranteurs. For the price paid, I can think of other spots in ktown that would've been less nice atmosphere wise but so much better food wise. I think if Kinn opened in a different town like Culver City or Silver Lake, I wouldn't judge it as harshly. As a NYC transplant, I thought their menu in December would work in NYC better than LA (ktown). If your first dish is a taco, it should be at least as good as the avg taco in LA. That said, I liked some of the dishes and appreciated their decor - I'm grateful I had a chance to dine here since it is a unique spot. It will just be a while before I come back.
