The early months of 2025 have seen a vibrant influx of new restaurant openings in Los Angeles, featuring diverse culinary offerings. Notable names include Elorea, Alba, Boichik, and Din Tai Fung. Anticipation builds for future openings such as a wagyu specialist and the highly awaited Sushi Nakazawa. A highlight is Corridor 109 from chef Brian Baik, offering a refined tasting menu with seafood influences stemming from his background. The restaurant aims to provide a casual yet elevated dining experience in a new location on Melrose Hill.
The first few months of 2025 have already brought an impressive new slate of restaurants to Los Angeles, including Seoul-style perfume cafe Elorea, New York Italian hotspot Alba, and Bay Area bagel shop Boichik.
Veteran fine dining chef Brian Baik is almost ready to unveil his first-ever permanent restaurant after roving around Los Angeles for the last couple of years as a pop-up.
Corridor 109 will now occupy a standalone building in Melrose Hill with a neighborhood-friendly bar and lounge up front with an intimate tasting counter in the rear.
While not overtly Korean influenced, Corridor 109 joins a chorus of tasting menu restaurants that have opened recently, including Ki, Seline, and Somni.
