A meal at Ebaes merges the traditional Asian flavors of Restaurant Manager Eric Bae’s Korean lineage and Head Chef Nicky Hanprom’s Thai roots and infuses them into popular dishes from around the globe.Both Bae and Hanprom’s previous work as artists lends to Ebaes’ instinct for creativity: hidden behind the restaurant’s dark wooden door is a patchwork of lights, atmosphere, and aromas that inspire the duo behind the scenes and capture the essence of Ebaes’ mission statement of bringing a truly original meal. Dishes commonly found in other Asian restaurants get a multicultural twist: from a signature Thai style ramen noodle to Japanese Poke to spicy tuna stuffed jalapenos. The dishes and décor are equally bold, creating die hard fans out of locals and the college students at USC close by.

    I loved the interior of this restaurant! So divine! Would come back mostly for pictures and drinks. The service felt pretty rushed and it was quite empty. Overall, I enjoyed the food.

    This is a great place for entertainment and energy for a night out. Def a birthday or celebration spot. Honestly the singers Mic is a little too loud during dinner and that’s coming from someone who DJs and doesn’t mind loud music. The DJ was fire. Great vibes in general and that branzino! The best

    Hello, I’m not big on writing reviews partly because I normally talk about the experience but what a great first impression. Everything was delicious and the recommendations was both adventurous and still amazing. I’m for sure coming back for the unagi strawberry which you would think is not even supposed to work. But now I definitely have a new craving for. Everything was clean and welcoming. The lighting let me see what I was eating and the food came out quick but everything felt thoughtful and not rushed which was so nice since I came in super last minute. Shout out to my server who was accommodating and adding a nice touch with her notes on each dish.
