OUR STORY
우
리
In the heart of Korea-Town, Imone BBQ emerges as a modern chapter in our family's narrative, inspired by our mother, Jungwha's, original vision of sharing the soulful essence of Korean cuisine with our community. This vision, seeded by our parents, Jungwha and Chunsoo, nearly four decades ago, has flourished into a tradition of authentic flavors and heartfelt hospitality. Today, as we embark on this new journey with Imone BBQ, we honor their legacy while embracing a contemporary twist that speaks to the next generation.
Situated just steps away from the cherished Imone, known endearingly as "Aunt's place," Imone BBQ is a testament to the power of family recipes that have touched the hearts of those who've crossed its threshold, celebrating Korean heritage with every bite.
Imone BBQ reimagines the traditional Korean barbecue experience, blending the time-honored with a sleek, modern aesthetic. Our interior, marked by clean lines and a sophisticated palette of black, white, and grey, offers a fresh backdrop to the vibrant, authentic dishes that have become our signature. This deliberate choice in design reflects our aim to create a space removed from the sensory overload of day-to-day life and provides an inviting atmosphere that appeals to families by day and transforms into a chic retreat for evening socials, where food and conversation flow freely.
At the core of Imone BBQ is Sohwakhaeng, the pursuit of happiness in life's simple joys. This philosophy guides our mission to forge a space where connections are made and memories are cherished, all within an environment that balances minimalism with warmth.
Steering this vision forward are Junyoung and Junwon, sons of Jungwha and Chunsoo. With our unique fusion of artistic flair and philosophical depth, we are committed to bridging the generational gap, marrying the authenticity of Korean culinary tradition with the subtle flair of modern innovation.
Imone BBQ is designed to be a sanctuary that transcends the conventional Korean dining experience. We invite families to come together during the day to enjoy our delicious, authentic meals in our minimalist yet inviting space. As the sun sets, we welcome guests to linger, enjoying drinks in an atmosphere that's both sophisticated and relaxed.
Our dedication runs deep, from enriching our community's cultural fabric to delivering experiences that resonate with authenticity, quality, and a personal touch. It's our honor to offer traditional Korean dishes, prepared with the utmost care and the finest ingredients, ensuring every visit is memorable.
