Cool, and a unique cuisine. Small, but worth stopping in. The menu is varied, and the atmosphere is kind of the busy cafe feel. Food was very good, and everything was tasty.

This is the best Korean place in the Bay Area. I head over here when I am in SF. Don't make a mistake and end up at Brothers #2, just a few blocks away. Not at all the same. The food is great, but it is super busy here. You will smell like BBQ when you leave.

You'll walk out of here stuffed, satisfied and smelling like smoke. The food is excellent. They give you a generous selection of Kimchee and other pickled delicacies when you get a table. The food can be cooked (by you) or cooked for you. On most of the tables is a grill pit heated by Misquite Charcoal. The Misquite is what gives the food such good flavor, but makes the restaurant very smoky inside. I would not recommend this place if you have asthma. The place is small. Every time I've been there I had to wait for a table. One tip for first timers, be aggressive and get a "next in line number" from the waitress. Otherwise you may be passed over for the next table and they are too busy to notice new patrons in the waiting area. 94 Champ

Yummy and fresh. Owner/Operator was very friendly. Kind of smoky around the grill from time to time but that didn't really affect the experience too much. They actually threw in an extra dish on the house I guess because they had an extra one. Plenty of extras. Will visit again.

yah, this is the korean bbq place to go in sf. i don't really go to any other in sf anymore. i go to koryo sutpul in oakland, but as far as sf; this is it. well, all the bbq stuff is pretty good: bulgogi, dwaeji bulgogi, kalbi, mae woon dalk... i dunno, for some reason, my roommate doesn't like my ordering mae woon dalk there; something like it's better to get the kalbi n' bulgogi.. the "real" meat stuff... tsss... well, you can get none bbq stuff... soon dubu jjigae's always good w/ a big meal... ojinguh bokeum, etc... yah, the owners n' servers are really nice people. if you go late at nite, after clubbing, sometimes you don't want to bbq, so you can order naengmyun or dolsot bibimpap or something. you'll leave this place stuffed, unless you've got really greedy, gluttonous friends. hrm... under the "alcohol service" thingy for this review, it says "beer, wine." what about soju?! of course, they have soju.

The food is O.K., just like any the food in any decent Korean restaurants on the West Coast. One thing I really cannot fail to mention is the fact that the restaurant is very crowded, so a good number of the customers are neglected. Although the owner is always bowie and smiley to the customers, I was really appalled by the fact that the owner is very mean to his workers. I certainly was not accustomed to the owner yelling at the workers in front of my table. I was very shocked by his behavior. The place is always full of smoke in that you get the feeling that the ventilation system is out of order. The walls definitely need some repainting for sure. You get the sense that the place is not so clean. The food might be all right, but I don't know if you will be able to sacrifice your dinner for this mediocre environment. In short, I do not recommend this place.

Probably the best Korean restaurant in the SF Bay Area, although you'll probably find justly better places in LA or NY. The barbeque chicken and kalbi (ribs) are absolutely mouth watering. Typically, korean restaurants can be quite rude to non-Koreans but this place was consistently courteous and pleasant.
