My sister and I were in LA and wanted to grab some brunch together so we decided to give Juliana a try. Parking was super easy (and free) inside H-mart. The second we walked in, we looooved the chic/sophisticated vibes.
We started off sharing some mocktails and fresh OJ. I got the Pink is the New Black drink and it was so fun and fruity tasting. For food, we got their Dutch Baby pancakes - WHICH I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We literally devoured the whole thing in minutes! I decided to try the kimchi fried rice since I was craving something savory. Soooo flavorful and filling with the mentaiko and kimchi mixed in. I also really enjoyed their carbonara gnocci which was very creamy and rich.
We also noticed the pot rice (aka SOT) on the menu which is very trendy in Korea right now so we ordered that as well. However, I thought this dish was mid and was missing some flavor. Definitely not as great as the other dishes we tried.
Overall, super impressed with the food and ambiance. Brunch here was pricier than your usual Ktown spots but worth it for a special treat. This is definitely going to be my new go-to for when I want to feel like an IT girl on a boujee brunch date. Can't wait to come back!
