Opening Fall 2025 in Sawtelle, The Mulberry is a modern Korean American restaurant reimagining the neighborhood bistro. Our team brings experience from celebrated restaurants like Benu, Marea, Daniel, abc Jean-Georges, 53 at MoMA, and the world of Anthony Bourdain.

We blend Korean heritage with precise technique and California ingredients, with a deep respect for fermentation, flavor, and fire. Our menu is playful yet rooted in tradition — offering bold interpretations of Korean American comfort food.
