“It’s great to have this Korean option in San Bruno. Water is self service with tiny cups. There were only 6 bonchon dishes. Some restaurants have 10. Food was otherwise pretty good including Spicy Squid. Service was perfunctory. For the pancake, they don’t cut it for you, but leave you a butter knife.“

“This is a place to go for good comfort food.The popularity of K-Grill has definitely grown. And well-deserved.The place is either packed or have a line of people during the normal lunch and dinner hour. It’s easier to get a table outside of the normal meal hours.The staff are friendly and nice, albeit a bit brusque because they are so busy. So they are super efficient too.Banchan and tea/water graces the table very quickly after an order is place. And everything that comes from this kitchen is delicious! The is the only K-restaurant where banchan includes a whole croaker for everyone.If I describe every dish, it would be a superlative on everything. I don’t think one can go wrong with anything on the menu. Just go with whatever category you feel like and a delicious meal will appear.Save a bit of the crunchy rice in the original rice container. Before the end of your meal, ask to have some hot tea added and enjoy it with any remaining banchan.“

“Go now for brunch before it blows up!!!Omg not only are their brunch items so aesthetically beautiful they are DELISH!!!We had the fluffy cakes, the Benedict Sando, and the 1398 Rancheros. The Benedict Sando was deconstructed- sandwich and then a dish of delicious poached eggs in mustardy hollandaise sauce. Wow!! The bulgogi on the rancheros was delicious and sooo flavorful, and spiced very mildly- not too spicy at all. The fluffy cakes stole the show. I even used a few of the dry cakes to sop up my Benedict sauce. Yum yum yum!!!!Also service was great, not slow at all, and super attentive. They ran out of the Thai iced tea and replaced it immediately with another beverage. Very thoughtful.“

“Well, how do you do! What a fantastic foodie find. Small shop that packs enormous flavor.Their kimchi fried is great with onions, kimchi & tiny squares of tofu that is seasoned to perfection. Jap chae with slivers of carrots, green onions and yellow onions.That galbi was a show stopper, grilled before my very eyes, lightly sauced tender to the touch it separated from the bone every so easily. The small portion of kimchi that's included is not enough. You can thankfully purchase a mason jar of kimchi. The portion sizes are fat kid pleasing.Go in pairs parking is terrible.They take cards“

The service was pretty good, and the standard side dishes in korean cuisine were up to expectation. It's standard Korean food but nothing absurdly amazing that stood out to me, but I'd give it another shot later down the line if I'm entertaining visitors out of SF.“

“I've tried the Daeho in japantown SF and I've had the Daeho in San Jose...but I feel like this Daeho tastes the best??? I'm not sure if it's the meat quality, portion sizes, flavor or what but this is my favorite location out of all the Bay Area locations.Daeho specializes in galbi-jjim, which is Korean braised beef short ribs in the most delicious sauce. You MUST get the cheese on top because they torch it at your table and it makes for a great IG story haha. I also like to get rice cakes in it. The large size can feed a table of four.The spice level is kind of inconsistent among the chains or even on certain days. I usually get spicy and I thought it wasn't spicy, during my most recent trip. (Maybe my spice tolerance went up? Maybe the chef just made it less spicy?) If you're unsure what spice level you are, I would err on the side of less spicy because you can always add spicy to it later.Aside from the beautiful galbi-jjim, I think everything else on the menu is pretty good. I like to pair my galbi-jjim order with a cold noodle to offset the heat. I think the soups here are so good. Their galbi-tang (short rib soup) is perfect on a cold day.“

“I came by here while visiting a friend - we got to the restaurant around 7:30pm.The restaurant, on the outside, was very unassuming, however, upon entering, you find a warm and inviting dining interior. There are few booth seats near the entrance, with semi-see through privacy curtains.There was only one party of 2 ahead of us when we got there, but it was still a good 15-20 minute wait.We were seated in the back dining area, and got some drink orders in, as well as an order of spicy edamame.I ended up ordering the stir fried chicken gizzard, which came out sizzling on a serving tray. The gizzard was a bit tougher than I was expecting, but the flavor was good and paired well with the rice and beer.Not too bad overall, but I wish they had wifi, since their menu is via QR code, and signal is very spotty at the back dining room. They did have some printed menus on hand, but we ended up having to ask for them, since neither of us managed to get enough signal to view the online menu.Parking: There are a good number of street parking spots around the area, but they can fill up pretty quick.“

Although there were several other tables I was seated right away. Service was quick & efficient. My Bibimbop came out sizzling hot!! I was so impressed because it stayed sizzling for a while even when I started eating it. The rice at the bottom was perfectly crispy without being over-burnt. It was absolutely delicious! Price was also very reasonable. Total came out to $22 with tip. I will definitely be coming back and trying other things on their menu like their stuffed mushrooms.“

H Mart Food Court •
3995 Alemany Blvd, San Francisco - 6.75 miles

“The Alemany Boulevard location of HMart opened in 2021, a 48,000 square feet Korean-American grocery store and a small food hall. The seafood selection offers perfectly sliced sushi and fresh seafood from live tanks. The marinated meats are a favorite in my house, especially the kalbi short ribs and the bulgogi beef. Don't skip the snack aisle, chips, nuts, crackers and candies galore. The noodle aisle is an experience in itself, each time I discover something new to try. The banchan is my favorite, radishes, cabbage, scallions and more. If you are looking for prepared foods Korean sushi or kimbap are my choice for a quick snack when I get home. My son loves the Korean corn dogs, the frozen dumplings are always in my cart. In the food hall you can dine at a table or take out. The Korean Fried Chicken at Left Wing, Daeho for Kalbi Stone Pot and Paris Baguette Bakery for pastries and cake. ,“

“We tried Da Pan in the Hmart food court and decided to try the cheese katsu (because the picture looked very cheesy) and the bulgogi fried rice. The Cheese Katsu was good and came with a side of miso soup, rice, salad and kimchi. Unfortunately the cheese was only on the top layer and not all around like the picture. So the bottom was missing cheese. The katsu was crispy and cheese had a nice pull. The Bulgogi fried rice was very tasty. This one came with a side of miso soup and kimchi only. The rice didn't crisp up when I mixed it around the pot, but overall the flavor was good.“

“We were in as a group of six and treated our friends who have been amazing helping us move to our new condo nearby and puppy sitting the past half year.We had enough people to make a reservation so waiting was minimal despite the weekend.The atmosphere was on the loud side, music and TV wise so not a lot of conversation (but how much taking when there’s SO much food anyways, I guess?). The variety was pretty good; a nice mix of fresh veggies, decent meat and seafood and lots of fun bits like wok fried peanuts and sesame balls to round out the usual sauces and fruit. The service was good, we got our orders in and everything arrived pretty fast.We did get stuck on a table without the conveyer belts so we didn’t exactly get the immediate satisfaction of grabbing what caught our eye but it was fine as a one off.“

“The bulgogi street tacos at this restaurant offer a delightful fusion of Latino and Asian flavors. The succulent bulgogi is complemented by creamy crema and refreshing cilantro, creating a harmonious blend. Served with chips and lime on the side, the dish presents a thoughtful combination of textures and tastes. Highly recommended for those seeking a unique Latino x Asian fusion experience.Additionally I got “snow ice” as a dessert. It was described as a vanilla frozen dessert in a pouch. Similar to those apple sauces in a pouch that has a twist able pouch. It was delicious and creamy. I recommend you wait about 5 minutes before consuming to let it thaw. Lastly I had a dead phone and they charged my phone in the back and I appreciated that so much while I had my meal. I will definitely be returning.“

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.“
