Popular South Korean restaurant Hojokban, known for modernizing traditional Korean dishes, is expanding from NYC to LA's Arts District in early 2025. Its playful plating designed for social media includes items like Shin Ramyun-topped fried rice and honey Korean fried chicken.
The Seoul-based GFFG Hospitality will run Hojokban in Los Angeles, offering its signature dish - juicy sous vide-cooked short rib flavored like grilled galbi. The Knicknamed 'Hojokban' pays homage to a traditional Korean wooden table, symbolizing its focus on familiar yet sophisticated plates.
In a transitioning LA food scene, Hojokban reflects the rise of modern Korean cuisine from novelty to a prominent dining segment. Korean-American chefs and spaces like Yangban, Danbi, and chef Jihee Lee's Perilla are among those elevating Korean flavors and dishes.
