Yoli serves the flavors of Korea from our Chef’s childhood memories and experiences. At lunch we focus on mostly traditional Korean cuisine with some modern Korean dishes. Our dinner menu features Chef Kim’s elevated Korean cuisine with the flavors of Korea intertwined with his modern, unique style.

Yoli is the creation of Joe and Laura Kim. Joe and Laura were the former chef and front of house manager of 5 Fusion & Sushi Bar, the long running fusion and sushi restaurant located in downtown bend. After twelve years at 5 Fusion, three James Beard Nominations for the Best Chef NW and stages at restaurants like The French Laundry, Manresa, Alinea, Next, Eleven Madison Park and Masa, chef Joe Kim decided to embrace his heritage as a Korean American.

Yoli (요리), meaning cuisine in korean felt like the best name for their creation, that will focus on traditional korean flavors and favorites but with some of Chef Joe’s innovative creations.
