The 12-course tasting menu at Suragan was one of the best meals I've had in a long time, and its concept of recreating and reinterpreting ancient Korean recipes is unique and creative. It's like an adventure back in time through a chef's vision and his food. My dining companion and I were already planning our return. Sadly, chef Jongmoon Choi informed us after our meal that the restaurant would be shuttering on August 19 until further notice. The chef's plan is to reopen but in a different location (South Bay was mentioned). Lack of support from his current restaurant group and the perils of operating in the Tenderloin appear to have taken their toll. Suragan was operating without a general manager or sommelier, which might explain why the price was also below $200 per person. But chef Choi is hoping to keep his concept alive in a more supportive environment and with more investors. Chef Choi's end-of-meal discussion at our table was a disheartening end to what was otherwise an incredible dinner. Chef Choi's concept is to take old Korean cookbooks that have been translated from ancient Korean into modern Korean by historians and reinterpreting the recipes within. For each course, a card is placed at the table that has an English translation of the original ancient Korean recipe as well as an explanation of what the chef changed in his interpretation. Further, at the start he explains the significance of the time period he has chosen to showcase. The time period of our tasting menu was the 1600s and the theme was Eumsik Dimibang, which was a cookbook written around 1670. The cookbook was the first written by a woman in East Asia and the first written in the Korean language. I won't go into detail on the food here, except to say every single course was delicious and aesthetically pleasing. You can check out my photos for details. There are even Korean wines for pairing. At this point, I urge you to try to get a reservation before they close. They have two seatings (5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.) Tuesday-Saturday until August 19.
