50 Best Korean Restaurants near San Bruno

“I feel this every time I come, but the side dishes are delicious and the food is prepared with care. I ate stewed mackerel today, and the mackerel was plentiful and delicious.

In particular, Dolsotbap is good because you can eat scorched rice after the meal.
The friendly service was really good too.

It's a great place to eat with family and friends.“

“Had the Korean Army Stew, was big one for one person. Food was delicious and high quality. Service was quick and attentive. They also have Korean drinks. Single large hall for seating, can become loud when lot of tables are full.

Parking: Street parking is free after evening

Wheelchair accessibility: On street level, easy wheelchair access.“

“The charcoal grills are a new experience for me. It was awesome! Food was delicious! Service was great! My only complaint would be for the ventilation to be better/stronger. I know to expect to smell like KBBQ after, but I think ventilation can be improved.“

“We LOVE Ninja. Found them while living in San Bruno and haven’t stopped visiting since. We’ve since move and still go or get takeout when we want delectable sushi. The rice is always soft, fish is always fresh and the specialty rolls are perfect.“

“I came here with my relatives and we came specifically for the raw marinated crab. It was pretty good, but slightly too spicy for me ? I thought it would taste a little more salty. Anyways the Jjajiangmyeon was really good thought, but i don’t remember if there was yellow radish or not, but there was kimchi. The clams were good, but there was a lotttt of sauce and was veryyy thick lol. The service was pretty good ? The atmosphere kinda reminds me of a small canto dimsum restaurant lol and it’s pretty small so you have to wait a little during busy hours. Overall, I enjoyed it and it was a nice experience.

Parking: If you park far and your legs aren’t good then it would be pretty bad because of all the hills there.“

“We had a fantastic dinner at Manna! Our group of 6 arrived before 6 PM and were pleasantly surprised to be seated right away. The service was excellent, not rushed at all (even though a crowd was building outside), and our server was very attentive.

Everyone at the table was thrilled with their meals. The kimchee pancake, japchae, and dolsot bibimbap were standout dishes. We were so happy to find such a great Korean restaurant right on the same street where we were planning to spend the evening playing board games at The Game Parlour. It was the perfect combination for a fun night out in San Francisco.

We highly recommend Manna for anyone looking for delicious Korean food in San Francisco. You won't be disappointed!“

“They had some of the tastiest, most generous servings of those little appetizers one gets in Korean restaurants. My pork rib and chicken wings dish was yummy. The ribs came with the regular sugar glaze but I suppose it can be ordered without.“

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

“Combination oxtail soup and dolsot bibimbap were incredible. The tendon pieces were perfectly cooked and the broth was milky and delicious. The bibimbap had great crispy bits and a Smokey smell. Honestly, eating this in the H-Mart food court just adds to the experience.

The woman at the front was very friendly and always wore a smile. Great food and great workers.“

“Food were elegantly seasoned and service was warm but not uptight! Just perfect!“

“Good food. Definitely recommended.“

“I originally planned to go to another Korean restaurant nearby but it was too popular so I gave up on the long wait list and decided to come here. Definitely no regret at all! The decoration is not as fancy but the food is quite authentic and delicious! The service was also great (the owner gave us separate small bowls and plates so we could share). We loved the sizzling bibimbap and tofu soup, spicy bbq pork is not spicy for us but we still enjoyed it, beef udon is also quite tasty!“

“it’s our favorite take out food in the city. the best poke bowl is the island style!
however, they‘ve raised their prices A LOT - six years ago when I first went, a bowl was $12.50
now the same bowl is $20…
i understand - inflation and higher labor costs. but +60%?? that is too much.“

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

“I recently visited HanSang with my coworkers after a business trip, and we were all thoroughly impressed! The food quality was outstanding—everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful. The service was equally excellent; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome. It's clear that attention to detail is a priority here. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great dining experience!“

“I was pleasantly surprised that this place serves you and takes your order at the table. It is casual dining and has the kind of vibe of fast food dining.

We did family style and ordered two types of fried chicken wings, gan ja jang, jam bong and rose spicy rice cake. I thought all of them were really good! I was also surprised by how much I liked the rose spicy rice cake! I really have no complaints about their food. We got medium spicy level for all of them, and it didn't taste spicy to me at all. There was maybe a little heat, but that quickly dissipates.

I would describe their menu as street food that you would find at local street vendors in Korea.

There is plenty of parking out front! Our server was also very attentive and even checked on us to make sure everything was good throughout our meal.“

“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Bingsu style deserts in many countries. That being said, I would recommend this place if you don’t plan on visiting South Korea anytime soon. I’m looking forward to trying other flavors but during this visit, I decided to go with their recommendation of the Thai Ice tea flavor. If you’re looking for a casual date or a gathering with friends for both dinner and dessert, this place will serve you well. The Chinese food was very vibrant and very refreshing… it wasn’t too greasy or too salty. The chicken wing appetizer is a must.“

“Great food, excellent service.“

“Good place for hot stone bowl rice, tofu soup or japchae noodles
Barley tea and bonchon are complimentary, those little side dishes are fun

Kid-friendliness: High chairs, but be careful with the hot bowls and sizzling near the little ones“

“Great food and service. I highly recommend this place for date night, family and friends. The only downside is parking is hard to come by in this neighborhood.“

“Looking for Korean places in the neighborhood and was delighted to find this gem! They are super accommodating and made several dishes vegan for us. I really appreciated them asking about food allergies as well. Rice cakes, soft tofu soup, and bibimbap were all stellar. Highly recommend!!

Vegetarian options: Chefs were very accommodating and happy to modify dishes and make them without fish/meat/eggs“

“Delicious food, great atmosphere, great service! I've tried the Premium Ox bone noodle soup, bibimbap, jjajangmyeon, kimbap, and tteokbokki, and all are absolutely delicious! In fact, the tteokbokki is some of the best I've tried. I live out of town, but I will go back here every time I visit here.“

“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!“

“I came by when i saw they have raw shrimp (& crab) and got to try it! I was expecting to not feel great after but I am suprised at how well the shrimps were seasoned with the sauce and it's texture !! Definitely a try if you're up for something new ! The atmosphere of the place was great too and lively! There was a dj corner playing some nice songs! And the service was very nice, offering complimentary rice and seaweed aside to the dish I ordered !“

“Satisfies Korean food craving.“

“A cute place with solid food and generous portions – plus they're open late! Our party of 5 shared 2 appetizers, bibimbap, and the ssam and we were stuffed. The bibimbap was my favorite and I wish I could've tried one of their stews as well. Would definitely return if I'm back in the area.“

“The Crew’s Mango habanero chicken wings were amazing. Great flavor and the perfect consistency of sauce that wasn’t too thick or runny. The honeycomb drink had a great presentation with the honeycomb cut fresh in front of us. The tornado potato stick was light textured and delicious! Good mozzarella cheese balls.“

“It's one of those restaurants that are more catered towards take outs rather than dine ins. Which is fine for a korean egg breakfast toast place, tbh. I recommend the shrimp if you like a lot of sauce in your toast, or the pork chop if you don't.“

“Wow, what a hidden gem! I recently visited Jar Jang Geum Tofu House and was blown away by the delicious and varied menu options.First, the Bulgogi (thinly sliced marinated beef) was cooked to perfection - tender and flavorful. The short ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and richly flavored. The fried chicken wings were crispy and spicy, just the way I like them. But the real standout was the Bimbimp Bap with beef in a Hot stone Bowl - the beef was tender and the rice was cooked to a perfect crisp on the bottom. And the Tofu Soup was creamy and comforting. Each dish was expertly prepared and presented. Highly recommend this restaurant for a taste of Korea in Daly City.“

“Came for brunch and thought it was cute and tasty! We came here around opening time on a Saturday and there was no line and plenty of seating.

I don’t think this place will beat out a no frills place that just does brunch items well but for a fusion-y, themed brunch place I think it’s definitely one of the top ones in the city.

I got the sando Benedict and my husband got the rancheros. I definitely thought mine was the better of the two and he somewhat agreed.“

“When I came to the United States and got tired of eating hamburgers and other Western-style food, I had no choice but to eat tofu pot to satisfy my craving for white rice. This Mom's Tofu is very close to the hotel, within walking distance, and there is good parking nearby. Shopping and drinking coffee can be arranged nearby, which is very convenient. After eating the tofu hotpot for two days in a row, I feel that the taste is not much different. In California, the soft tofu hotpot is usually meat + tofu hotpot + small dishes. It is similar to Taiwan, the taste is not too spicy, and the price is higher than the previous day. Food is more expensive in Los Angeles.“

“H Mart is a asian grocery store
H Mart plays with music ? that is great to hear and feels relaxing when entering the store

Inside by the entrance, their small restaurant for you to eat

The produce and product are ? ? ? good
thier alot of varieties of ? noodles“

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

“Located in the Inner Parkside neighborhood, Odumak offers authentic Korean cuisine to diners looking for a bite to eat. The storefront itself is quite unassuming, but upon stepping into the restaurant patrons are welcomed with mood lighting and K-pop music videos plastered across the televisions, a nice casual dining enviornment.

Odumak is well-known for their crispy Korean fried chicken which comes in a variety of flavors, perfect for any palette. Their Korean fried chicken comes in both half and full-size orders, and the fried chicken pieces include wing, drumstick, and breast meat pieces. For those who don't want to grapple with bones, there's a boneless popcorn chicken option that you can add any of their sauces to for an extra fee.

My party of 3 arrived on a Sunday just minutes after the restaurant opened, and I was honestly amazed to find that there were another 2 tables already seated - a testament to how popular this dining spot is. After being seated, we decided on their corn cheese appetizer, fish cake soup, and two of their Korean fried chicken offerings (half of their magic cheese sprinkles, and an order of their soy and garlic popcorn chicken). While both the corn cheese and fish cake soup were delectable, the true stars of this meal were the Korean fried chicken dishes. Both orders were well fried, extremely crispy, yet juicy on the inside - the perfect bite for any fried chicken lover.

If you're a fan of Korean food, and especially of Korean fried chicken, then you should give Odumak a try if you're in the area!“

“I’m Asian and I really love eating Korean foods, I have been tried a lot of Korean foods and through my experiences I think this restaurant is really take my heart because the food is great delicious and we also can go to Korean supermarket when we finished.“

“I sometimes work at Oracle Park so was looking for something close by. I went there and was pleasantly surprised by how nice this place is. I ordered the beef buglogi and it was really good. There's free parking, but they close at 3:30 pm. Prices are reasonable. Give it a try, menu is vast. Lot's of things to try.“

“We were apprehensive about this service but our first experience of it turned out wonderful. It was super fast and arrived at the beginning of the quoted window (less than 30 min) hot and well-packaged. The amount of food looked small but was actually plentiful (with leftovers). The taste of everything was fantastic. The menu choices were limited, but we appreciate the simplicity of it. We'll definitely order from them again.“

“I don't know why such negativity in other reviews, but I liked my boneless soy garlic boneless chicken. Very authentically Korean chicken (if they only had beer too for Chi-mek, 치맥 ?).Btw, they're not supposed to be crispy (original is the crispy one). The soy garlic tastes a lot like Kyochon chicken from the very large Korean franchise, although Left Wing also is an originally Korean franchise originating from Korea.A bit expensive than US franchise chicken btw, but if interested in a different and good taste, this the one. I'm a fried chicken aficionado, having tried SF Brenda's Meat and Three, Brown Sugar (only in Oakland now), so different, but guud! 5 stars!“

“food place for family and hang out“

“Yummy foods for everyone, snd friendly staff“

“order online pick up when ready.“

“I’m a truck driver, just delivering in the area, this place was recommended to me by the owner who I was delivering to. Now I’m from the east coast, and those burgers hit home for me. 10/10 recommend !! The best burger I’ve had in a while. Service was amazing, nice friendly guy. Served in like 3 mins. Amazing“

“I work all over the Bay and drove pass this place looking for a quick breakfast and saw that they had Gal Bi Tang (Korean Beef Rib soup).Being that it’s so cold it’s sucked me in to ordering it. They also have the Standard American Breakfast and Lunch menu. Place definitely needs an update but why when you have kind old ladies working the place. You’ll leave with a nice Smokey scent due to the lack of ventilation lol. Food came out with the third Auntie I saw holding a great smile so you know it’s going to be good ?. And it was so it made me look them up and write a review.“

“minus one star for no seating at all. I guess they don't want you to stay too long in the store. j.k. Supper yummy soft serve ($4.5) + warm taiyaki (5 for 8.95) hit the spot. May's favor is exciting - ube x match, cookie & cream x milk tea.“

“This is essentially a place to order food for take-out. A station is set up to accept orders & lockers will store your food when you’re ready to collect your order. Parking is very limited in this area, parking enforcement are active so be conscious of it when parking in any red zone.“

“Nice place to dine in with family and friends“

“Don't know what to eat, but want a quick and delicious meal?Paik's Noodle is such a solid option. Food is good. Portions are generous. My favorite would have to be their classic Jajangmyeon/Black Bean Noodle. The noodles are nice and QQ. The sauce is well seasoned and flavorful. It has a unique flavor from the fried black bean paste. Generous sauce portion too. I always have leftovers and add it on a bed of hot rice the next day. Love that they give you a side of pickled radish as a palate cleanser. Their jjampong and tangsuyuk is pretty good too.Staff are nice. Food comes out pretty quickly. Only thing to keep in mind is that the food court can get really busy during peak times making it hard to find a seat. Overall, 4/5.“

“I recently visited a hole-in-the-wall Korean restaurant in San Francisco and I have to say, it was an absolute delight. The food was absolutely delicious, with a home-cooked taste that made me feel like I was back in my mother's kitchen. The staff were also incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable.One of my favorite dishes was soft tofu soup which was perfect on a cold day! The kimchi was also particularly delicious, with just the right amount of spice and tanginess.The flavors were authentic and the atmosphere was cozy and intimate.I find myself visiting San Francisco every couple of weeks and I always make time to visit this restaurant. It's definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and looking for a taste of authentic Korean food.“

“I loved the food. BBQ chicken, garlic fried chicken, cauliflower rice. I wanted to try the noodles, but I'm not fond of green onions and I found out that it's pre mixed into the noodles. Had hoped for the option of no green onions in the mix. Oh well, can't have it all. My rating is 4.5 “
