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.

    Did the Valentine’s Day experience. Friendly staff. All courses were delicious - even the ones with Indian ingredients I don’t care for. Handwritten card welcomed me and my partner. Lovely place. 11 out of 10.

    We made a reservation for Valentine’s Day, when we arrived we were sat at the bar to which I asked if we could take a table, but were told only outside lol. The inside is nice and looks like a classy restaurant but once you’re outside it’s like a strip mall sushi bar. I was a bit disappointed. Moving on, the food was delicious the fish is very fresh and almost buttery so so good! The service was also very good although one of our rolls wasn’t event cut completely thru and eating it was difficult and messy nonetheless the flavor was there. Would I go back? Yes. Would worry about making a reservation? No.

    We had one of the best meals of our lives at Kato last night. Their Lunar New Year collaboration with Kasama was so incredibly delicious (every bite was packed with flavor and perfectly balanced).
