An Unforgettable Culinary Immersion in Yorba Linda

In the heart of Yorba Linda, The Wild Artichoke is preparing to host its most ambitious event to date. For the third consecutive year, Chef Andrew Joo and his team are unveiling a Valentine’s Weekend experience that transcends a standard meal.

Million Dollar Seaweed Salad & Chawanmushi

A delicate pairing of seasonal seaweeds and silky steamed egg custard, dressed with perilla and umeboshi vinaigrette.

House Signature Uni Pasta

A rich course highlighting Santa Barbara uni and bottarga. You can also add Kaluga caviar for an additional $30.

Binchotan Grilled Beef Bulgogi

A refined interpretation of Korean bulgogi, charcoal-grilled and served as a single, concentrated bite.
