Corridor 109

“Had an amazing experience with the Japanese seafood tasting menu at Corridor 109 in Ktown. Every course was beautifully presented and the seafood tasted incredibly fresh. You can really tell they focus on quality and letting the natural flavors shine. Some of the standout bites for me were the sweet ebi, the incredibly flavorful horse mackerel toast, and the hotate, which was delicate and perfectly prepared. Each dish felt thoughtful and unique, and the pacing of the tasting menu made the whole experience feel relaxed and special. The atmosphere is intimate and perfect for a fun night out or for anyone who loves great seafood. I’ll definitely be back! The chef and his team are amazing!”

“Sometimes the combination of Restaurant you have been wanting to try + high cost per diner can be unsatisfying; fortunately with Corridor 109, both the wait and the cost were more than justified and magnificently exceeded expectations. After securing a reservation via Resy text two days before, my wife and I got to try the tasting menu. The ingredients should be familiar to any high end omakase patron: sea urchin, salmon roe, different types of mackerel, different types of shellfish and so on. What Chef Brian and his team does with these ingredients (all of the highest quality sourced from Japan, mostly from Hokkaido) is… transformational. I won’t go into each dish here, but there are things on the menu where in hindsight, you can easily think the ingredient combination is so obvious; the planning to come up with those combinations, then the execution to make those flavors come together is truly magnificent. About the cost: ~$300 per person plus alcohol easily carries the total bill for two close to and over $1,000. My wife and I thought it was worth it because of the execution, the ingredients, the ambiance of the bar seating around an open kitchen, and the phenomenal service from the bar through dining. It is, surely, possible for my wife and I to secure some similar grade ingredients and try to mimic some (definitely not all) of the dishes to save money, but that would be a great disservice to the total experience of dining at Corridor 109. I congratulate the Chef and his team on an amazing start to what is hopefully a not short term venture; my wife and I look forward to coming back at a different point in the calendar year to see what different and in season ingredients make it on to the menu!”

“Great experience. The food is top notch with some stellar dishes full of flavor. Service was friendly and attentive through the dinner. Parking is not great. Come early to find parking otherwise it’s $5 at the Bank of America.”

“Los Angeles has plenty of restaurants, but every so often you find one that is really amazing. What tied everything together was intention. Every dish was perfect, and nothing felt overworked. It’s rare to find a place like this — I’m definitely coming back soon.”

“Went here for cocktails. Staff are very nice and accommodating. Drinks were on the different taste preference and had a very tonic/botanical finish. The drinks looked great and the menu is pretty with a simple selection of drinks. Booths are a strange shape, but it fits the right space.”
