Name of dish: LA Galbi
When it hits the menu: order now
Origin/inspiration: LA Galbi refers to a style of Korean marinated short ribs that are grilled or barbecued. The name "galbi" translates to "ribs" in Korean, while "LA" signifies the origins of this particular style, which began in Los Angeles, during the Korean immigrant wave in the 1960s. The dish features thinly sliced beef short ribs, typically marinated in a sweet and savory sauce before being cooked to perfection. Traditionally, these marinated short ribs are grilled over an open flame, enhancing their smoky flavor. This method also allows for a delightful caramelization of the marinade, creating a beautiful glaze on the ribs.

Name of Dish: Lamb Chops
When it hits the menu: On the menu now.
Origin / Inspiration: Lamb chops are a classic dish with a lot of potential for creative expression. Our Turkish twist cuisine offers a rich tapestry of flavors that can beautifully complement lamb chops. Here is how we infuse lamb chops with Turkish flair: lamb chops are rubbed with a blend of Turkish spices including paprika, oregano and salt; cooked to perfection to the customer's choice (medium-rare, medium, well-done or chef's style); served with the chef's special salad with house dressing, rice and house tzatziki, with an option of roasted vegetables. It goes very well with most of your favorite red wines. You are sure to love it.

Name of Dish: Yellowtail Tuna Tartare (shallot, seasoned oil, smoked-garlic mayo, bottarga, Furikake cracker)
When it hits the menu: On the menu now.
Origin / Inspiration: Combining a fresh take on a French/Asian tartare, the dish started with the idea of creating a super light tartare for summer and trying to bring in a lot of umami, that's why I season the tuna with fish sauce and bottarga. Most Asian tartare uses avocado as a source of fat, I wanted to bring in more complexity by cold-smoking a lemon mayo. Then to finish out the dish we make a house-made cracker that is dusted with a Japanese rice seasoning called Furikake, which has tons of umami. It's truly delicious.
