A Modernist Approach
Benu should be on everyone’s go-to list. Chef/owner Corey Lee’s East-meets-West modernist cuisine is phenomenal. Advice for anyone headed to Benu: order the tasting menu so you can avoid the decision making pressure. As your meal progresses, you’ll notice every dish that comes from the kitchen is a work of art in terms of presentation, creativity and flavor. Lee – a James Beard award-winner, a French Laundry alum and goodwill ambassador to Seoul – has received endless praise for Benu, including 2 Michelin stars and a 4-star rating from The Chronicle. Be sure to make your reservation well in advance.
