The Inspiration

Young Joni, located in the heart of the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District, is a restaurant made for slowing down, feeling special, and savoring a deliciously inspired meal with family and friends. Created by James Beard Award-nominated Chef/Owner Ann Kim, the cuisine is a reflection of American food as she sees it today—a conversation between cultures, underpinned by a common enjoyment of quality ingredients cooked simply and served in ways that promote sharing and a sense of fun. The wood-fire cooking inspired menu features a diverse array of globally influenced sharable plates, grilled meats and vegetables, and signature wood-fired pizzas. The menu is traditional with a twist, the dishes are approachable but different, and the atmosphere is both welcoming and sophisticated. Welcome.
