Partners in both life and business, Young Hoon Ji and Seung-Min Yi are the brains behind Mhel, where a daily changing menu features around a dozen dishes blending Korean and Japanese influences. It's the kind of place that's just right for a midweek meal, either catching up with friends at a table or dining solo at the counter, and while the space is simple, it's cozy. While the dishes shift, the attention to detail never sways, as in a dish of cucumbers pickled in a mix of dashi, yuzu and sudachi for a savory-sweet mix or a plate of charcoal-grilled chicken with morels in a rich sauce. A nice selection of sake rounds out the offerings.
