In a YouTube news segment, Austin Klar announces the upcoming opening of Mon Ami, an upscale Korean barbecue restaurant in Pacific Heights. The restaurant is led by Chef Junsoo Bae, known for his Michelin‑starred Korean eatery on Polk Street, and aims to offer a high‑end, "House of Prime Rib"‑style Korean BBQ experience without the typical all‑you‑can‑eat format. Mon Ami will feature both à la carte and tasting menus and will occupy the former Nush location at Fillmore and Pine as part of the Upper Fillmore Revitalization Project, which is revitalizing the area with new restaurants and retail. Hospitality design is being handled by Avroco, the firm behind notable projects such as Single Thread, the J Hotel, and China Live. The restaurant is slated to open in the fall, and Klar, a local resident, expresses enthusiasm for the added food and shopping options for the neighborhood.

A brand new Korean barbecue restaurant with Michelin-star pedigree is coming to Pacific Heights, and I can't wait to check it out. Chef Junsoo Bae, who has a Michelin-starred Korean restaurant on Polk Street, is bringing what he's calling a Korean barbecue version of the House of Prime Rib to Fillmore Street. It's definitely gonna be upscale, no all-you-can-eat options like other Korean barbecue. There's gonna be an à la carte menu as well as a tasting menu. The restaurant called Mon Ami is taking over the old Nush spot on Fillmore and Pine as part of the Upper Fillmore Revitalization Project. That's the group that's behind restoring the old Clay Theater that's been vacant for years, as well as bringing a ton of new restaurants and retail to the area. I'm super happy about that because I live in the neighborhood and I would definitely like to see more food and more shopping. Avroco is helming the hospitality design, and they are the group behind a ton of big projects like Single Thread in Healdsburg, the J Hotel in San Francisco, China Live in San Francisco, and so many other awesome spots. And the plan is for this restaurant to open in the fall. Share this with your fellow Korean barbecue lovers and follow me for more San Francisco news. [FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
