Crafted by Chef Sang Yoon, the visionary behind L.A. hotspot Father’s Office, Tiny’s Burger is a tribute to the classic burger stand, featuring a balance of Americana fast-casual favorites with subtle Asian influence. “Tiny’s is my childhood fantasy restaurant. It’s everything I love under one roof. I love burgers, I love snacks, I love drinks from around the world, and you don’t have to go to Disneyland for Dole Whip…” said Chef Sang Yoon. “I love the fact that [South Coast Plaza] has visitors and everyday regulars. That, to me, is a really special unique blend.”
