50 Best Korean Restaurants near Daly City

“The portions were huge, which is great because you get your money's worth. If that's your thing. I thought the bibimbap in the stone pot was great. My spouse thought her soup was a bit salty. The pancake was good.

The staff was nice and the atmosphere was typical restaurant vibes.“

“At around 8pm, there aren't a lot of choices for Korean food. My urge for some Korean tofu soup brought me to Kukje Market Restaurant. My order was the #3, soft tofu soup combo, beef, clams and shrimps $20. This was a small soup served on boiling hot stoneware. It took about 15 minutes of waiting before I was able to enjoy this without burning my mouth. The highlight for me was the little Korean banchan side dishes and how it goes well with the bowl of rice. In terms of service, the waiter was more interested in talking to his co-workers and doom scrolling on his phone as it was the end of the day. At least the food came out fast.“

“Great service with very pleasant wait staff. The food is amazing. The Kimchi fried rice is the perfect level of mildly spicy with great flavor of kimchi (and don't forget the spam!). My wife and I will definitely be going back to this restaurant frequently! Highly recommend!“

“Entrance is through Kukje, which explains how this restaurant can have the biggest menu, fresh ingredients, and just about everything available in takeout packaging. This is a must try, especially if you plan on eating before shopping. I have many memories of reluctantly spending time at Korean grocery stores growing up. Now as a parent, I look forward to sharing this nostalgia with my kids!“

“great korean bbq plates. I usually get the beef bulgogi or the spicy pork.“

“Good Place for any occasion.Fair price for your pocket 😍🤩“

“the restaurant is in the middle of the grocery store
food was good and seemed fresh but didn’t wow us
And no longer served abalone with the pork belly but still listed as such on menu
Service was good and hostess was accommodating to our son and stroller and pregnant wife“

“The best Korean fried chicken!!“

“Super good food and friendly staff, our group of 5 people each ordered our own thing and were surprised at the portions, if going in a group it may be helpful to figure out a few dishes the party wants to share and then order and divide, that's what we did and it was a great way to taste so many amazing and tasty dishes!“

“Went with a party of 12 and joined the waitlist early so we were able to get seated pretty quick! Our table ordered one kalbijim medium spicy with cheese and one mild kalbijim. Between the two we liked the medium spicy with cheese a lot more since we thought the mild one a little too sweet.

Meat was super tender and so were the veggies, and it paired very nicely with the purple rice! Wish they had more variety for their side dishes but rly delicious over all, just a little pricy!“

“This place always hits the spot! The flavors are amazing and I love all the banchan dishes. Plus! The rice comes with the food which should be the standard but nowadays other places charge for them.

The dishes are pricey but the portions are large and sometimes you can get a freebie! Definitely bring a friend to share with.“

“Very nice staff and attentive… Food was excellent and fresh.. The establishment was very very clean.. highly recommend“

“2025: New owner. Marilyn sold the restaurant. I noticed my regular items like grilled mackerel and shrimp & vegetable TKim fry were no longer on the new menu. Then I noticed the wall specials were gone. Also, the article featuring Marilyn Lee in Ingleside was removed. Wait a minute, am I in the wrong restaurant? I asked the waitress and she said the restaurant got sold and is now under new ownership. Marilyn was always cool to me. I will miss her food.

Tonight's soft tofu stew, seafood $18 was OK. The beef option is no longer available. It is only pork seafood or vegetables now. The new menu is heavily truncated. No more 2 item combos, house specials like stir fried ramen or sandwiches. Previously, the banchan (little Korean dishes), included sprouts, potatoes and broccoli. Those are gone too. I only got cucumbers, tofu and the red cabbage.

New waitress seems OK. Nice but inattentive. People were walking up to pay because she was on the phone. Perhaps it was later in the evening and she had to finish up her closing tasks.

Updated review 10/27/2021: Go Go7 is still awesome. I love the little dishes of kimchi they serve before the meal. Tonight, I really wanted ramen but 21 Taste House down the block was closed for some reason. To satisfy my ramen craving, I ordered Go Go 7's stir fry ramen with bulgogi $12. The dish was huge and it almost made me regret ordering the deep fry shrimp and vegetable appetizer $8. I tried but could not finish it all. I had to take 1/2 of my food to go. Great job Go Go 7! This restaurant is an important part of the Ocean Ave. dining community.

Original review: Indoor dining 5/28/2021. Go Go 7 is a popular Korean restaurant. There was a parade of to-go pickup orders. All I heard were people ordering their two item combos. It is perfect if you don't want to do family style and still want a variety of items. The portions are perfect if you don't want a lot of leftovers in your fridge the next day. Tonight I had their bulgogi (marinated beef) sandwich $10 and grilled tofu $5. You don't usually see sandwiches at a traditional Korean BBQ restaurant. The bread was soft and it tasted great. The sandwich was not too dry or soggy and very flavorful. I enjoyed their little plates of kimchi. The bean spouts and the imitation crab with cucumber is a must try item. I liked it because you have something to munch on while they made my grill tofu appetizer and sandwich. They stayed open throughout the pandemic last year, even through that weird period when we had the curfews. I appreciated that. Guys like me had a really hard time looking for restaurants that were open. Great job everyone at Go Go 7. Love you guys!“

“We returned to this restaurant twice during our visit to SF, it was that good. Very much enjoyed the garlic soy chicken wings, salmon eggs benedict, kimchi, bulgogi, pimped up ramyun, and of course the bacon.“

“Super cute place tucked into a busy street!

Good:
- The jjajeong tteokbokki was super unique and tasty! Good portion size too
- More casual place but I liked the homey feel

Bad:
- Took a while to get our food
- The kimbap wasn't too flavorful and was on the smaller side

Overall would come again!“

“Zajang Grill is the best restaurant“

“We never miss a chance to dine here when we’re in San Fernando. Amazing meals, amazing staff <3“

“I love this place! I come here all the time to do homework. The menu is well rounded, the noodle plates are bomb. They're always served fresh and hot. As a sago lover, their mixed fruit flavor is one of the best, you have to try it if you're a fan of boba vibes and want to try something new. The staff is always friendly and they're open late. I shared a bingsu for the first time and it was a fun experience all around. This is genuinely one of my favorite places in West Portal.“

“Bansang is such a lovely restaurant. The space is beautiful with high ceilings and tasteful decor. The staff are friendly and attentive. Food was amazing. We ordered everything on the menu except the tofu stew (wasn't available) and we're definitely going back again to try that.“

“Just had a religious experience at this place with my friends. Without a doubt the best Korean food i’ve ever had, full side dishes omg j so good. come here to have the meal of your life, we got the braised beef hotpot, for soup and kimchi pancake. first and third dish were the best and must order. also FREE AND REFILLABLE SIDE DISHES AND RICE“

“This place should have a line out the door every day. Incredible value. Excellent service. Delicious food. Warm and friendly staff. They greeted all their regulars by name like old friends. I can't wait to become a regular myself. I can't recommend enough. Coming back as often as I can.“

“We were looking for a place for a quick breakfast and, based on reviews, stopped in here. The portions are generous and all the dishes are very fresh. What really makes this a stand out spot is the hospitality. The owners/staff are beyond friendly and welcoming.“

“Just incredible Korean contemporary fusion cuisine. Kept the fundamentals of the Korean authenticity with unique broad appealing western gastronomic desires. Well done!!!👍“

“We searched 20 min for a parking spot during peak dinner rush. It was worth every minute! Our party of 5 ordered udon, kebabs, BBQ pork, & sizzling Bibimbap. All happy customers & rated it the #1 dinner of our 4 (so far) in San Francisco.“

“Got here at opening, the place was mostly empty. The staff was polite and helpful. Placed my rice bowl with Korean Bulgogi as protein, the bowl was tasty and with fresh vegetables. The service was quick, got my food in 5 minutes.

The bulgogi was bit plain, not a lot of flavor and wish more meats too😊. There are both indoor and outdoor seatings.“

“I came here for the smashburger, but i guess they dont do lunch untill later in the day. I ordered a breakfast sandwich instead, and it was really good! Hopefully i can try the lunch menu one day but i dont think it lines up with my work schedule. 🙃 will be comming back for breakfast though.😇“

“Approved by a Korean👍🏼
We ordered the buldak with corn cheese and bibimbap. The bibimbap was served on a sizzling skillet which made the rice wonderfully crunchy. Buldak and corn cheese was addictive. This + makgeolli = perfect meal at a reasonable price ~$50 before tip.
Would come back, 10/10.“

“Yesterday our first time there. The food was delicious and the service as well we definitely will have to come back soon!!! Thank you!“

“My husband and I wanted to try Korean fried chicken. 🍗🐔 The place is very clean and The owner was helpful and kind. 😊👍 He helped us choose a few chicken flavors. 🌶🍯 Absolutely delicious 😋. 💯“

“Great food and at a great price. Can’t wait to go back“

“One of our favorite spots in the Richmond. Sean and Alice are as terrific as their ice cream!“

“this is my favorite korean restaurant ever!! i always get the galbijim & clam soup noodles - would highly recommend! it’s also conveniently located inside h mart so you can go grocery shopping right after & check out the other stores in this little plaza.“

“This was my first time here, and it definitely won’t be my last. The food was excellent, the staff was very friendly, and the interior was beautiful. It was a pleasure to spend time here. I had a great time with my brothers and really enjoyed the experience“

“Came on Sunday night and there was a small wait (about 10 mins).

Service was good after we sat down. The water and banchan came quickly.

The seafood pancake is crispy and good. The tofu stone pot is delicious with quite a lot of tofu. The grilled chicken is so-so. The stir-fried glass noodle dish is good.“

“My foodie coworkers have nothing but praises every time you guys cater for us. Impressive how you pull off such tasty AND healthy food. Thank you!“

“We had such a great experience at ABSteak by Chef Akira Back. The quality of the meat was exceptional, and the tableside grilling made the dinner feel special and interactive. Everything we tried was flavorful and beautifully prepared, especially the wagyu and the Korean-inspired dishes.

The restaurant has a sophisticated, modern atmosphere, while the service was attentive and professional throughout the evening. It’s definitely a more elevated take on Korean BBQ and a great choice for a special dinner or date night in San Francisco.

We really enjoyed our experience and would happily come back!

“Quick lunch, good portions, and really good depth in taste for the price. Wanted some Korean rice bowls for our family and was presently surprised. The owner Jin was very courteous and food came out really fast. Also got to use the photo booth. Got the protein bowl, kaamjang bowl, and a pork jowl bowl for the kids. Really a nice experience“

“Just the Korean meal we were looking for! Classic, satisfying, and delicious. I got the budae jjigae (army stew) which was just what the doctor ordered. We also got the tteokbokki as an app and my boyfriend had the chicken bibimbap. Plus we got to watch the World Cup game! Lovely, kind staff, and generous banchan- all around a great experience.“

“Spicy seafood stew was yummy- good amount of spice without overpowering the flavor of the stew. Lots of protein. Heads up, I got like half the body of a crab with legs that was still in its shell; it was a cool visual but kind of hard to eat. Love that we got a bunch of appetizers that just come at the start of the meal for everyone and we all got rice. The kimchi was too sweet for me personally- guessing there’s sugar in it and I’d prefer it without.“

“My review is for the dinner tasting menu. At $89/person you get a full course Korean inspired meal. Each dish was fresh, light and had hit the tongue palate in all the right spots.

Beef tartare was light and perfectly seasoned. The main galbijjim steak with rice and chimichurri was buttery soft with hint of sweet aftertaste .

My friends and I could not stop eating! We were a larger group of 9 and the host did so well explaining each dish. She even gave tips on how to get the photos ! Atmosphere inside at night was modern and trendy. I can imagine it as a good date spot as well.“

“I like going to HMart mostly for the food court. They just expanded so it's like going to a little mall. They do carry some stuff I cant find elsewhere. However if I'm buying korean food like meat and banchan, it's a little on the pricey side for me.“

“This is our local, “go to” place whenever we’re craving Korean food. It never disappoints. At night, they generally project K-pop music videos onto a large wall, which brings the whole room to life. Lotsa fun!“

“The Korner Store is a private event space now. I sent an inquiry in for a Saturday night booking, and received prompt response with a quote and some options. There's a minimum food and drink amount. I coordinated a walk through of the space and made a deposit!

The hosts and owners (Ina and Nick) are incredibly helpful throughout the booking and night of the event. My ~40 guests enjoyed the Korean food and full bar. We had a fantastic time in the private space. The venue has tv screens, music inputs, DJ and dance area, karaoke, and an optional photobooth. I highly recommend considering The Korner Store for your next event.“

“I knew exactly what I wanted as I walked in. I smelled the Bibimbop and my tummy was already smiling. the service was great! and the food was delicious! our 3 year old approved the Chicken Cutlets with their special sauce! we're definitely coming back the next time we're in town!“

“This was my go to when craving jjigae while living in SF. The chicken’s good too, but make sure to share it; the portion is very generous. Lastly, the folk running this place are really friendly and kind. Will miss having this place nearby!“

“I had the Yukgaejang (육개장), and it was outstanding! The broth was rich, deeply flavorful, and had just the right amount of spice. The shredded beef was tender and plentiful, and the fresh vegetables added great texture. I especially liked that the noodles were served on the side, so I could add them when I wanted. The banchan (side dishes) were fresh and complemented the meal perfectly. If you’re looking for authentic Korean comfort food, I highly recommend the Yukgaejang here. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I stopped at this restaurant due to the time I decided to find something to eat, as it was late and everything was closing for the evening. I stopped in and was greeted by the friendly staff, and the place was a little busy. I was able to get served for the time i had about a little over an hour before they closed. I was very limited on what I could order due to the gluten problem. but the server and staff was very helpful in finding dishes that I could get just had to leave out a few things to make it gluten free. it was a very good choice of what we came up with and everything turned out to be a success for a late night dinner. Thank you again guys for the help and the service. You guys are awesome. Stop and check this place out the food was full of flavor and the toppings on the side made for tasteful options to add for each bite.“

“Great Food! And Very nice Small Restaurant“

“Super nice/friendly folks. Food came out quick. Nice large portions. Was super satisfied“

“The best sea bass and the best sushi 🍣 Love it“
