The 2025 Michelin Guide California ceremony, held in Sacramento, was significant for Los Angeles, which now boasts two three-star restaurants: Somni and Providence. The event recognized culinary excellence with awards including the Michelin Young Chef Award, given to Ki Kim of Restaurant Ki, which became LA's first Michelin-starred Korean restaurant. However, not all news was positive, as notable restaurants Sushi Ginza Onodera and Hana lost their stars. The event was further marked by an exciting and premature announcement regarding Somni's three-star recognition, showcasing the intense competition and acclaim within the state's culinary landscape.
The excitement of the Michelin Guide California presentation peaked with their inadvertent leak of a video proclaiming Somni as the first three-star restaurant in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles celebrates a new milestone with two three-star restaurants now, thanks to Providence's recognized excellence in seafood dining.
Chef Ki Kim's Restaurant Ki not only made history as LA's first Michelin-starred Korean restaurant but also earned him the Michelin Young Chef Award.
The evening highlighted not just achievements but also losses, with Sushi Ginza Onodera and Hana failing to retain their Michelin stars.
