This is my go to place for takeout when im sick or hungry/lazy past 930pm. I always get the kimchi soup with pork belly, seafood pancake, kimchi cold noodle, and more pork belly. Their banchan also includes a crunchy mustard seaweed noodle that is so addicting.
This may be my favorite korean restaurant in the city.

My friend and I, both Korean, had a great meal yesterday! We ordered a spread of dishes, including 오징어볶음 (spicy stir-fried squid), 매운삼겹살 볶음 (spicy pork belly stir-fry), 고등어구이 (grilled mackerel), and 육계장라면 (spicy beef soup with ramen), and every single one was delicious.
it tastes authentic– a refreshing change from some Korean restaurants in SF that tend to sweeten their dishes too much.
The service was also top-notch; our server was really nice and attentive throughout our meal.

This isn’t a place you’ll write home about, but if you’re under the weather or just craving something hearty, the Army Stew is a must. It’s a big bubbling pot of everything—including the kitchen sink: ham, sausage, Spam, baked beans, kimchi, instant noodles, gochujang, mushrooms, and rice cakes. Super filling—enough to feed 4 people easily. It was just my husband and me, but we still ordered it and took half home.
We also loved the seafood pancake—crispy, flavorful, and one of those dishes that’s best eaten fresh (definitely don’t save it for the next day).
These two dishes are the standouts and would get 4 stars on their own. That said, we’ve tried other items before like the fried chicken wings and bibimbap, and they didn’t hit the mark—lacking authenticity and flavor.
Stick to the Army Stew and seafood pancake, and you’re in for a comforting, satisfying meal.

The ingredients were so fresh and the taste was just same as the one in Korea! I really enjoyed it 😉❤️

This was genuinely surprising. I loved this place. Its nonchalant on the street but when you stumble into the gem, you won't regret it. I tried everything. The kimchi pancake was moist and not too sour, the rice balls were salty and oily goodness, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. The spices on all the food was very unique and you feel like you can taste Korea with every bite. 9.0/10 Pro Tip: go with a friend and get as much variety as you can. There is too much to try in just one go. Oh and they give you little appetizers at the start of your meal.

Fantastic food and even better service! Stumbled upon this restaurant and after abysmal service from every other restaurant I’ve tried in SF, we were blown away. The galbi tang was piping hot and so comforting and the pork belly was so delicious. The drinks were very good and also reasonably priced! The highlight of our night was definitely our amazing server Hazel. She was so incredibly sweet and personable and really made everything 10x better. Would highly recommend if you’re in the area.

You would be fool to not come here. Hazel was a star of the evening with her exceptional service and the team of Ollei providing such exceptional food. There is no doubt you need to come here regardless if you are a tourist or local. As sharing the experience I’ve had with Hazel and Ollei exceeded my expectations by a mile

Had a fantastic dinner at Ollie! The chicken was cooked to perfection, and the corn cheese was delicious. Hazel, our server, was very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this place!
Portions incredibly small, beef brisket stew had very little beef brisket, maybe only a couple of strands. I was expecting a meaty, hearty stew but instead, I got a soup that tasted like vegetables and was somehow burnt and bitter. Overpriced for what it was. Do NOT recommend if you are looking for a Korean soup

Food was good, nothing special but server girl was so polite and chill. Went here during lunch time and drank a little bit with my friend and to be honest, I think we had loud moments and server girl was just checking in on us and was helping us without being rude. Atmosphere is really nice and food was good. Overall pretty good experience.

This is our go-to Korean spot in the neighborhood! The food here is full of flavor and portions are so filling. Definitely recommend the tteok bok ki with ramen:) We also ordered the soft tofu soup with pork and it was great!
Taylor was extremely nice to us! Even though the restaurant was packed on a Saturday night, service was extremely quick. It's also great that they’re open late nights on the weekends, too. Will definitely be back for more!

My sister and I found this place when we were going around Polk St looking for lunch and I can say that this was worth a try!
We ordered the kimchi fried rice with beef and pork dumplings. The dumplings were juicy, but I thought that the kimchi fried rice was missing something. It might just be because I'm not used to this restaurant's flavor too. The portion was pretty big and service was also great!
