This authentic Korean BBQ spot in Central Richmond is within walking distance from the beautiful Golden Gate Park. If you’re planning a weekend lunch, they open at 11am. Arriving early is key—We were the first group, arriving at 10:55, but by 11:30, a long wait will be expected.

The meal began with an impressive variety of complimentary banchan (Korean side dishes), a delightful start. The pork belly, beef short ribs, and assorted seafood were juicy and generously portioned. The kimchi jjigae was rich and full of flavor, while the steamed eggs served in a hotpot were fresh, tender, and satisfying.

The seafood and scallion pancake was different from what we usually had—The slices were thick, more bread-like and less crispy. It was okay for us.

Overall, the food was pretty good, and we would certainly consider visiting again, with an empty stomach for sure and friends to share!

Went on a trip to San Francisco for 4 day and crave some Korean food and went here to go dine. The food was ok. Kimchi pork tofu stew but no pork in there, the meat was so little. As we eating here the waiter keep looking at us as if they are rushing us. The price are very pricey for portion u get. did not enjoy the food. But they did give us complementary drink. After we paid, and some of my friend are still eating, the waiter came and told us to leave. And I had to tell the waiter “ can u give us 5 more min” and she nod and left. Very rude and will
Not recommend this place to anyone. The worst experience.

Respectable Korean bbq, good cuts of meat, nice sides, friendly staff, and nice that it's a little bit off of the beaten path and so usually it's not as crowded as other places.  The spicy Ribeye is excellent.
This is not an all-you-can-eat establishment so be warned. But overall really good food.
Note: I've never had Korean TERRA beer before, but man, it went perfect with the meal!

Pretty good kbbq and entree options. A little overpriced for the portions you get, especially the meat. At least they come with banchan, rice, and soup or steamed egg. Pork belly was a little tough for my taste. Sometimes hard to get the waitress’ attention even when it was not busy. We went on a weekday around 5:30pm and it wasn’t busy at all throughout the evening.

After a long time in SF I had food that was worth every penny you pay for it. The spicy beef and pork were absolutely the best Korean bbq I’ve ever had. They also provided us with a complimentary tofu stew that was so comforting. I’d definitely go back to this place in a heartbeat.
