"Initially a scrappy 16-seat strip-mall spot, Baroo crystallized 2010s trends—vegetable-centric plates, fermentation, Korean flavors, and grain bowls—with $15 creations like pineapple kimchi, purple potato chips, and miraculous fried rice; though its original run (2015–2018) was brief, Kwang Uh’s later resurrection as a high-end tasting menu reaffirmed his gift for cultural connection and risk-taking." - Eater Staff
