Today was a beautiful ride, and we’re feeling incredibly proud, happy, and grateful.
Kali Steak was recently featured in Eater LA, and we’re deeply thankful to Eater LA and its entire team—especially Matthew Kang, who has supported our concepts throughout the years.
We feel truly blessed to continue owning and operating in this city through thick and thin. Los Angeles has given us so much, and we love this city deeply. Thank you to everyone who has supported us, shown us love, and continued to believe in our team over the years.
More than a year ago, we made the conscious decision to move away from our tasting-menu format and introduce a California-inspired, chef-driven menu. We knew it would be a significant risk, but we also recognized that the previous concept had run its course. We wanted to create a restaurant that felt more accessible to everyone during these challenging and changing times.
The transition to a steakhouse was especially meaningful to me. Steakhouses have always been my favorite type of restaurant when I’m not working—I love finding myself in dark, classic steakhouses throughout the city. That passion has always been there, so this evolution felt like a natural one. We’re incredibly grateful to see that the change has resonated with our guests and the industry, including recognition from the Michelin Guide and other respected publications.
We are so proud of our team, our restaurant, and the work we continue to do every day. Thank you for being part of this journey. We look forward to welcoming and serving you all very soon. Eater LA Matthew Kang
