O histórico de Yoon inclui cargos como chef principal no Ritz Carlton, JW Marriott e W Hotel, além de chef executivo no Surisan em San Francisco.  nnO restaurante, descrito como amplo e cheio de luz natural, especializa-se em brunch fusão asiática. Destaques do menu incluem Gogi Morning, com ovos Benedict com bulgogi de carne, cebolas caramelizadas, hollandaise de limão, molho galbi e base de croissant por $25. Outras opções são Gochujang Fried Chicken, pedaços sem osso fritos com pó de açúcar, glaceados em gochujang e cobertos com gergelim e salsa por $14; Nori Pasta por $26; Bone Marrow Cioppino por $39; e Seafood Jjambbong Pasta por $29.  nnO gerente Jayden Lin destacou o Kimchi Carbonara como seu favorito, um prato de massa de $26 com kimchi, bulgogi e molho branco cremoso. O Whisper começou com uma abertura suave em 22 de janeiro e atualmente serve brunch das 9h às 14h30 em dias úteis e das 8h30 às 15h nos fins de semana. O serviço de jantar está planejado em breve, das 17h às 21h diariamente, com menu similar excluindo omeletes e Benedicts.  nnLin enfatizou a atmosfera do local: «Estamos tentando criar um ambiente acolhedor e convidativo». O espaço abrigava anteriormente o Wursthall, que fechou em setembro, enquanto o speakeasy no andar de baixo, Wunderbar, reabriu. Reservas são obrigatórias, e mais detalhes estão disponíveis em whisperfusion.com.
