Yoli Bend, the long-awaited Korean restaurant from award-winning chef Joe Kim, opened in downtown Bend on June 14. Located at 1133 NW Wall Street, next to Super Burrito, Yoli serves “elevated Korean cuisine with the flavors of Korea intertwined with his [Chef Kim’s] modern, unique style,” according to its website. Lunch is casual and dinner is “upscale,” with plans to add a tasting menu in the future. The menu includes traditional Korean items such as Kalbi, Bulgogi and Bibimbap, as well as experimental dishes that combine flavors from around the globe—including a Foie Gras served with sweet & sour kimchi, sesame puree and brioche. Yoli is currently open Tuesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner.
