Raphael L.Raphael Langenscheidt: Fantastic little place. Totally worth the wait. Breakfast sandwich is solid and the rice bowls are delicious. Ricotta toast is insane, too.

Ameen A.Ameen Aqeel: The sorrel rice bowl was delicious (you might consider an extra egg), the buckwheat pancake was also unique, on the way out grab one of the coconut, date & seeds balls for a tasty treat with a coffee.

Caitlin T.Caitlin Taylor: French toast!!! Also the sorrel pesto rice bowl. The French toast is huge and the jam that comes with it is (in my opinion) a great alternative to syrup.

Momica K.Momica Kelly: Perfect meal is spicy tuna crispy rice, baked crab handroll, albacore with crispy onions and jalapeno yellowtail. YUM.

John S.John Stanforth: Spicy tuna with popcorn shrimp and crispy rice, extra-crispy, are both still amazing. Adding separate popcorn shrimp appetizer was even better. The 4 1/2 roll was good too.

EaterEater: At Baroo the fried rice gains savory depth and complex sweetness from tiny cubes of pineapple kimchi and powdered sauerkraut electrifies the tender shards of oxtail that cling to homemade noodles. Read more.

Ami P.Ami Pak: It's like the Korean version of Sqrl, but no pastries. I had the kimchi fried rice, which had layers of flavor and a yummy pineapple fermented juice kimchi to add to it's delicious complexity.
