"On the eastern fringe of Koreatown, there’s a Neo-Romanesque building that once housed a society of bibliophiles. Now, it’s where you’ll find Moono, sister restaurant of tasting-menu spot Jua. This place may look like a wood-paneled cathedral, but, aside from a few truffle shavings, there’s nothing too fancy happening here. The menu mostly consists of pristine takes on classics like KFC and galbi-jjim, and the soundtrack is oddly, but not unpleasantly, clubby. Come with a small group, explore the cocktail list, and share the crispy-skinned branzino." - bryan kim, kenny yang, hannah albertine, matt tervooren
