Maum, Palo Alto’s One-of-a-Kind Korean Fine-Dining Restaurant, Is Permanently Closed - Eater SF

"Maum, a modern Korean fine-dining restaurant in Palo Alto, is permanently closed due to the coronavirus crisis. The restaurant, known for its three-hour, eight- to 10-course tasting menu served at a communal table, will transition to a retail operation selling Korean pantry staples and prepared foods. The dining format was deemed unsuitable for social distancing, and the new retail business will offer items like seasonal pickles, housemade kimchis, and farm produce on a pre-order basis. There is potential for future meal kits, prepared foods, and private events." - Luke Tsai
