Located in the heart of k-town, near the industrial intersection of Wilshire and Western, Concerto is in a league of its own. From the décor to the dishes, the restaurant is complex. The space is unique and even spans to the top floor which has a more “fine dining” feel.
The menu can be a bit intense due to its size, however, there are plenty of delicious dishes to try! The Kimchi Carbonara is enticing and an absolute must! Comprised of sautéed kimchi, bacon, onion, garlic, and parmigiana it is everything but ordinary. It’s a mix of flavors that delightfully tickles your palettes. The gorgonzola crusted filet mignon is another satisfying dish. Complete with potato puree, charred broccolini, crispy onions, and horseradish crema it’s a heightened twist on a classic!
