"Yi Cha—meaning “second round” or “I’ll have another”—brings the spirit of a modern Korean pub to Highland Park. Led by Chef Debbie Lee, known for her Ahn-Joo Korean food truck and Food Network appearances, Yi Cha blends Korean tradition with Los Angeles creativity. Our menu celebrates community and connection through shareable dishes made with locally sourced, sustainable ingredients. From crispy Korean fried chicken to bold small plates and craft soju cocktails, every round invites conversation, laughter, and discovery. Come for the food, stay for the second round."
