We had a really nice late lunch here. The menu was pretty broad and oddly much less expensive than some of the neighboring Korean restaurants. The only thing I found difficult about the menu was that they had English descriptions along with Korean…More »

We came for lunch at noon on a Sunday, and we were the first people there. I'd made a reservation online from their website, which seemed silly at the time. Pretty soon the place started filling up, though. We ended up having a lot of food for six…More »

I had the pork taco and tried the kimchi burrito. I'd count both as good for what they are (taco/burrito), but I somehow had bigger things in mind for the Korean versions of these two. I guess if you cook up seasoned meat and put it in a tortilla,…More »

We came around 6 on a Sunday night and were seated without a wait, but by the time we left at 7:30 there was a line. The banchan was good but I also would have preferred a few more options. The specialty seemed to be soondubu but it was just too warm…More »

Many combos are available for $9-12 and consist of a variety of meats, rice, and 4 vegetable choices (there are about 12 to choose from). The spicy bbq chicken tasted pretty good but really wasn't spicy. I had the "pickled cabbage and cucumber…More »

I asked for a bulgolgi korrito without cheese (somehow kimchee+cheese seemed like a bad idea to me, although upon rethinking it, I like plenty of pickled things and cheese. oh well.) and was informed that the burritos are premade, so you can't change…More »

We tried the bul kogi, bibimbop, kanpoongki (wings), and Kimchi Bokum Bab (pan-broiled kimchi & rice). We had tried to order the fried chicken (#7), but were told to "cross it off" our menu as they don't have that now? and the donkatsu (#18) but were…More »

I really enjoyed the bibimbop and the nice amount of sauce that was available on the tables. The serving was pretty huge and quite inexpensive at lunch. So, that was great. I was a bit disappointed with the "all you can eat" approach to banchan and…More »

Kind of like Portland, kind of not...

SF Sandwiches (27)

Always a good option, but so hard to get them just right...

Bay Area BBQ (12)

Over the years I've come to the conclusion I should focus my BBQ efforts in the East Bay. But then there will be some new place in SF, or I'll be really lazy, or I'll forget, and I'll eat it in SF again. But while SF has many wonderful food groups, BBQ just generally isn't one of them.

Long Austin Weekend (12)

SSF (2)

Bay Area Bakeries (40)

A delightfully never-ending project. You'll see I don't like my baked goods too buttery, and I do like when bakeries have day-old stuff!
Donut placess included on this list until they rise to fill their own.

I'm not a huge fan of bars in general but ...

Hayes Valley (13)

So you want the Mission, but smaller, a little less funky and a little more sophisticated, and with a better playground.
