Mokyo

Born on the coast of Seoul, chef Kay Hyun blends together flavors from Korea combined with inspiration from Spain and South America at her tapas spot, Mokyo. After the success of her first restaurant, Thursday Kitchen, chef Hyun opened her new eatery right before the onset of the pandemic and focuses the menu on contemporary twists to nostalgic dishes like the corn dumpling with truffle salsa verde, fennel, and parmigiano; oxtail spring roll with wagyu, smoky gochujang, and onion puree; and pork jowl with chayote squash, kabayaki butter, and kalamata aioli. Chase your tapas with a sake sampler, glass of plum soju, or a rice wine mojito. Before the night finishes, channel the spirit of childhood summers past with a pop rocks-topped mascarpone dessert.
