Here’s Looking at You is an eclectic Los Angeles restaurant, located in Koreatown, heralded for its creativity and genre-defying cuisine. Owners Lien Ta and Chef Jonathan Whitener opened their first restaurant together in 2016. Named a "Restaurant of the Year" by Food & Wine Magazine and one of Eater National's "38 Most Essential Restaurants," HLAY was also the subject of author Patric Kuh's "Becoming a Restaurateur." After four magical years as a small independent restaurant, COVID-19 would force its forever closure. But 17 months later, fate would have it that the community would come together to help resurrect this very special restaurant. After reopening, The New York Times included HLAY in 2022’s “The Restaurant List: 50 Restaurants in America We’re Most Excited About.” In 2022, HLAY was also named a James Beard semi-finalist for “Outstanding Hospitality.”
