Koreatown seems to be where it’s at these days. Le Comptoir, (605 South Normandie Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90005; 213.388.8138) which was a pop-up through Los Angeles (Tiara Cafe) is soft opened inside Hotel Normandie. So, snag your online reservation quickly because they are taking them starting December 30 for 6 and 8:30 pm. (and I mean quickly because there are only 8 seats at the counter).
Once you grab a very coveted seat at the minimal, elegant eatery, you will catch views of the kitchen (because every seat allows it) and get ready to enjoy.
