The Biggest Los Angeles Restaurant Openings in October 2025 | Eater LA

"Years in the making, chef Debbie Lee’s Korean gastropub finally opens in Highland Park—named for the second round—and serves her take on Korean American pub dishes alongside an inventive cocktail menu. Bar bites include a Korean barbecue nut medley with chile-dusted walnuts and peanuts and fish jerky grilled over binchotan; Lee’s KFC wings return with gochujang Buffalo sauce; there are K-town nachos smothered in queso and ginger braised pork; and gamjatang bubbles with ramyun noodles and tteokbokki in a spicy pork-and-potato base. Senga Park, formerly of Tokki, oversees drinks like the Jeju Sunrise with lychee-infused vodka, plus wine, beer, and soju." - Rebecca Roland
