    Leftover oil
    Alexander W.

    The fried rice was delicious. The chicken taste kinda reminded me of Taiwanese sausage, not sure why but I love Taiwanese sausage so... However my dish was super oily, so I have to dock off a star for that. There was a pool of oil at the end. Seems like not everyone's food was that oily, just me. Service is good, the server helped us with allergy information. The inside is cool with a picture of tempura on the table. Speaking of it seems many of the dishes are not Korean but Japanese or Chinese? So maybe don't come here if you want fully authentic Korean food but it's good.

    Loved the tofu soup, the tofu melted in my mouth and the plentiful veggies did too. The bibimbap was simple and served in a nice dolsot. The red sauce is a tad too sweet, wouldn't mind some kick in there and less sugar. Pancakes were probably the best of the lot, thick, not overly greasy, stuffed with greens. They might be the healthiest korean pancakes I've had anywhere.

    Food 5/5 - Superb ! A lot of food for the value. Daughter enjoyed it too ! Superb Korean spot! This reminds me of the one that I went to LA in Korea town. Things ordered: -LA Galbi: ! Yum ! This obento had Tons of food ! I didnt eat anything for the rest of the day. It comes with a soup and free vegetables! -King Chicken Katsu: Daughter ordered and she really liked it. Family friendly place. Service 4.8/5 - Waiter was fast and I love the big water containers they provide. I wish every restaurant provided that for families. Ambiance 4.7/5 - Its archaic hipster SF Ocean Ave. Vibe and (Cross street Plymouth St.) which I still love. This block hardly every changes with its line of multiple small family businesses on this street. It ain't as fancy but the food compensates!

    Dolsot Bibimbap
    Andrew A.

    Fairly solid all around, small interior was full. Saba - good flavor, ample portion. With the complimentary Banchan, its a meal for two. Chicken Salad - tender and flavorful pieces; big portion, some dressing would take it to another level. Korean Chicken - wish it was boneless, very good flavor Dolsot Bibimbap - average Kimchi Pancake - looked better than it tasted Tea was very good. Service friendly, but she got overwhelmed at times. May or may not return depending on parking.

    Gimbap (rice was hard)

    Late weekend lunch, seated right away. The restaurant is not too large. Order a gimbap ($8), dolsot bibambap ($20), spicy chicken bento box ($18). The complimentary Bonchon was delicious. Dolsot bibambap was good, love the crispy rice pieces from the stone pot. Good assortment of veggies, but the beef can be more tender. The rice in the gimbap had hard pieces and was that not good, it was disappointing. Spicy chicken bento box has a great variety of items from salad, tempera, mandu. Grilled chicken was not too spicy, but needs more flavor. Overall, a mixed of both good and bad items.

    Came here on a week night and it was surprisingly easy to find parking. We were seated right away- serve water/tea, banchan and a free soup. We ordered: - kimchi fried rice: looked and smelled delicious. Comes with a fried egg on top. Lacked a little depth in flavor but the kimchi flavor was there and it was nicely fried. - seafood pancake: the pancake was thick and loaded with ingredients so it was on the thicker side and a little crispy. It had enough flavor that I didn't need to dip the sauce on the side. - Korean fried chicken: wow the best dish for this meal! The chicken was saucy but still soo crunchy and flavorful. Didn't expect it to come with sides such as kimbap, salad, rice, fried egg and fried potatoes. Overall, great value for good Korean food and big portions! I would come back to try their katsu and get their fried chicken again.

    Updated menu with new prices (my fave kalbi up 50%), possibly under new management. Staff is very nice, food quality is good. Doesn't seem as busy as usual, possibly from the prices going up. Will definitely still come back but not as much due to the drop it overall value.

    This place is small and unassuming but the service is fast, the food is good, and the portions are huge! If you are looking for a casual, no frills but yummy lunch or dinner this is definitely a great option.

    Friendly staff, plenty of seating and always a great deal! If you're looking for a hearty lunch thus us the place to go, I got the LA Galbi Lunch Set, which is unbeatable for great Korean food in the city.

    Awesome banchan
    Tasha H.

    This place has such a mom and pop feel - eating here truly feels like going to your favorite aunt's house for a meal. Service is so familial and friendly. Unfortunately I went specifically for the fried chicken and that dish is not very good here. Banchan is unique and delicious. Some very fermented kimchi, some fresh kimchi, and generous portions of everything. Fried chicken is a little anemic. The meat is dry and it is not sauced so everything just feels tough and dry - I would skip this here and try something else.

    This spot is the definition of fun, friendly, and unforgettable! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with energy, warmth, and the irresistible aroma of sizzling BBQ. Food highlights? The deep-fried vegetable and shrimp tempura are crispy perfection, while the chicken wings are juicy, flavorful, and far from dry. And the banchan? A total win--those endless little side dishes make every meal feel like a feast. I especially love the seaweed--so addictive! The chive pancake is the best! Seating is never a hassle, even during peak hours. When it's busy, the lively atmosphere just makes it even better. There's nothing like enjoying your food while catching the delicious scent of BBQ grilling in the kitchen. Parking? Easy. Takeout? Seamless. The vibe is pure comfort with a dash of cool--whether you're stopping in for breakfast, grabbing lunch with friends, sitting down for dinner, or winding down after work with a drink. This place just works for every mood and moment. It's a mom & pop Korean treasure that feels both homey and vibrant. Honestly--why would you go anywhere else? Highly recommend!

    We pivoted from our original dinner plans when we saw this cute little no frills spot for Korean comfort food. Upon walking in, the waitress and the lady in the kitchen were so friendly and welcoming, and we felt at home. We ordered the kimbap, bulgogi combo and the stone bibimbap and man everything was so fresh and flavorful! We really loved our time and this spot is being added to the rotation!

    Bulgogi BBQ
    Junsheng X.

    Located in the corner near the Ingleside library is a hidden gem for the OMIE locals. Go Go 7 is one of the most affordable and satisfying Korean meals you can find in San Francisco. What they lack in fancy cuts that you can get at high end restaurants, they make up with generous servings, amazing service, and variety banchan. There was a lot of care from the people who ran the store the entire time we were there, and they treated everyone equally well! One serving of their food is enough to serve 2 smaller appetite individuals, especially with all their banchan. I'd definitely come again if I want some affordable Korean food near OMIE

    $18.99 you get all these + complimentary side dishes

    How come you don't give kimbap and tkim with doshirak delivery?

    Is anything here gluten free? I have a gluten allergy.

    If you have to ask after looking at the menu and seeing the pictures, you shouldn't be ordering from here. There will be cross contamination from the flour for the fried stuff on everything.

    Does the Tofu soup come with the KBBQ, or do you need to order it separately?

    I haven't seen a soup and bbq combo on the menu.

    Can someone get the bbq bugogi sandwich and send me pics?

    Don't have picture, but portion size is large

    We were hungry and arrived at Japantown at around 8:35pm. We hadn't had time to read reviews or…read morefigure out what our choices were. We parked in the garage and went up to the second floor. There were three restaurants in the immediate vicinity. One told us that they were closed, one was in the process of closing and Seoul Garden was open until 10pm. Many, many years ago, my wife and I ate at Seoul Garden several times. We think that it was called the Emperor's Dinner which was a massive variety of Korean dishes. We're pretty sure that ownership of this restaurant must have changed since then. When we walked in and during the time we were there, we only saw one motorcyclist pick-up an order. There were no other guests. Our table was four adults and two kids. We all had different hunger levels so our order may be considered somewhat odd. Seafood Jun Pan-Fried Mondoo Army Stew Soy & Garlic Wings Mackerel Bibimbop Assortment of 8 Different Banchan (refills were offered) For the duration of our meal, we only saw the gentleman who took our order and served our food. He was very cordial and accommodating. As some other guests have mentioned, the prices are not for the faint of heart. On the flip side, I'm also a believer in that you get what you pay for. The Banchan was excellent and the fact that he asked if we wanted more rather than us having to ask was great. Everything that we ordered was for sharing so people could get a taste of different items. I focused on the Jun, Mondoo, Wings and then did my best to clean up all the Banchan. At the end of our meal, containers were brought out for leftovers and then everyone was served some delicious Matcha Green Tea Ice Cream.

    Service is really great and the staff are super attentive and sweet, so 5 stars for this!…read more But everything we ordered was below average (2 stars), especially considering the price. And the Spicy Calamari & Bulgogi was actually $20 higher (!!!) than what's listed on Yelp (no prices on website), so find this pretty misleading. It was also overcooked, so bummer all around. Took a chance on this Japantown fav and left wishing I'd purchased basically anything else there. Apparently I'm not alone, while all the other restaurants were bustling on a busy Sunday evening, this one was virtually empty.

The absence of banchans were also a surprising disappointment for us, we look forward to that in Korean restaurants! Our food also came out extremely quickly after ordering, and we had opening time res, which made us feel that the food may have been all pre-cooked and just reheated. We also got a couple cocktails, they were interesting but a bit too calpico tasting for my liking. It's pretty clean/spacious inside, with large restrooms. Parking is slightly tricky, either street parking in front or Japantown garage nearby.

Granted we were a bit late for our reservation, we ended up having to wait another 30-40 mins. The place (2nd floor) is small & awkward. We were all cramped waiting on the stairway and the actual seating area is also fairly small for a busy KBBQ place/big parties. The 8 of us squeezed into a booth with 2 chairs on the side. You can also feel whenever the table next to us got up and stomped/yelled/moved in their chairs-- which was really often. The basic AYCE menu is fairly limited-- esp for the side options. The marinated meats were pretty good as was the tteokbokki. Side & meat portions were alright, but the kicker is having to flag down staff to make sure they put in the order & bring it out. We asked for japchae about 5 times before it actually reached our table towards the end of our meal. The server/manager also told us that he had accidentally brought out 2 bottles of soju for us and that he'd COMP 1 bottle. We didnt notice that he had actually charged us for 2 and comped/subtracted a "third" one. So none were really comped at all. I just realized after we paid and that felt really sketchy.

Unfortunately, most of the dishes fell pretty flat for me. Here's a breakdown of everything we tried: Mini Jeon - This came out as a set of three mini pancakes, and while they were fried expertly with a nice crisp exterior, I did not really get much of the ingredient flavors at all, which was supposed to have an array of vegetables and seafood. Truffle Bosot Fry - These were fantastic. Each enoki was fried so the stems were splayed out and then dusted in truffle salt. It was clear the chef has a deft hand at the fryer, as both of the first two starters had an amazing crunch to them. Spicy Tuna Tower - This seemed like a popular item, but it was really disappointing. It felt like a quantity over quality dish, with the spicy tuna indeed piled high, but very clumpy, as if it had just been scooped straight out of the fridge, and not a pleasant texture. There was not much flavor or spice to it and the kappa maki rolls that the tuna sat atop were unfortunately not made well, as most of them fell apart just from picking them up with chopsticks. K-Fried Chicken - Pretty good value since you get 8 decently sized pieces for $20, or $22 if you want to add a sauce. It was curious that they do not let you do half and half, since the sauces are likely pre-made and that is such a common option at most other KFC spots. The bigger issue was the fry on the chicken as huge pieces of batter were missing from every piece, and it did not have that signature shattering crunch I expect, which suggested the oil was not hot enough and that they did not double fry the chicken. The soy and garlic flavor was actually pretty good, so it was doubly disappointing that the chicken was not fried properly. Hwe-Muchim. - This dish was an absolute disaster. The cubes of fish and salad were absolutely drowning in cho-jang, and it was really unbalanced, so all you tasted was gochujang. The lettuce was so wilted under the sheer amount of liquid that it made the dish difficult to eat. I actually took this home, drained most of the liquid, rinsed off the fish, added fresh greens and a homemade dressing, and it tasted much better. The staff were friendly enough, but this place is clearly targeting a drinking or late-night crowd so I would avoid if your main goal is to enjoy the food itself. Seems like a fun enough place if you were just wanting to stop in and have some snacks with your drinks or as an end of night stop as the 4-cha or 5-cha (IYKYK).

I have seen the owner before cooking in the kitchen but it looks now father time has caught up and he is thoroughly enjoying helping out in the front. He was talkative and pleasant to talk to.

    This place was really good. I found it through yelp. After being at the Japan town mall waiting for…read moremy family to finish shopping, I wanted Chinese food that was further away. So I found this place and we walked in with few customers. We ordered a soup, and were about to order something else when the server/cook suggested we order the meal for 3. He let us substitute the white rice for fried rice and cashew chicken for lemon chicken that we wanted. Boy was it a real treat. We added a chicken chow mein and we weren't disappointed. All in all, we came out stuffed with leftovers, and great service to boot. We were the only ones in the restaurant at the time which was surprising, how great the food and service were. Come here and you won't regret it!

    Came here walk-in on a Friday evening at 6:30 and waited for almost 45 mins for a table for 2. Get…read morethe galbijim! It's a steal and It's delicious- so much meat it lasted me 3 meals. The wait for the dish was almost 25 mins but all worth it !The complimentary soup and banchan were huge and alright. The servers know what they were doing but one minor thing about my experience was that the waitress served a really really hot dish at her convenience and I had to move it to the center for sharing. Since they're busy they expect you to finish your meal, pay and go.

    food was good and there was no wait on a sunday afternoon for a table of 6. everything was on point…read morebasically except for the service- as soon as we told them we were only ordering three dishes, their demeanor changed entirely lol. that probably plus the fact that we were young/it was our first time here got them extra annoyed, even though we were polite. banchan was all yummy, rice was $2 per extra bowl (3 were included). we chose soft tofu soup over the steamed egg, which we were told was one or the other, per table. we ordered bulgogi, brisket, and a seafood pancake. literally all the dishes were good but we were not checked in on once. we noticed them checking in on other tables, but deliberately skipping ours. we'd have to flag someone down whenever we wanted something, and when we asked for banchan refills they said ok and never got it to us. we just ended up finishing our meal without it. service was rude, inattentive, and overall lacking. would come back again if i didn't care for service!

    What a gem amongst all the restaurants in Japan Town! It's in the outside center near the…read morestationary store Paper Tree for reference. Been here a couple of times already and the service never failed. Even came here during the Cherry Blossom Festival and the staff were still friendly / accommodating. They even put a spicy sauce on the side of one of the katsu plates when we mentioned that my dad couldn't handle all that haha. This cozy spot mainly focuses on katsu plates, but I like how they had off menu or specials to choose from if you'd like another option. I will say though them katsu plates were just chef's kiss. The meat is pounded thin enough where it's still juicy and tender, but doesn't affect the exterior from being crunchy and a bit flaky. Nothing was dry here yallll! I also like how it already comes with miso soup and salad. Huge fan of that Hamachi Truffle special though. Think of a citrusy flavor from the ponzu, fresh fish, a bit of micro greens, and a thin slice of jalapeño that just ~works~ on a cute wooden spoon that you want to steal I could honestly eat like 5 spoons of this. I'd skip on the calamari as it was kind of skimpy to share with a large group. Only note was that their fried katsu curry was a bit underwhelming with having more slices of carrots than potato! Would love to come back if I am ever in the area.

    Ganji is a solid spot for katsu in Japantown! The service was excellent--the staff were friendly,…read moreattentive, and quick to take our orders, which made for a great dining experience. The miso soup was a delicious way to start the meal, and when my katsu arrived, it looked amazing. The meat was hot, tender, and the portion was huge, so I definitely left full. My only suggestion is to ask for the curry on the side if you like your katsu extra crispy. I had the curry poured over it, and the breading got soggy pretty quickly. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is the price. My dish was around $30, which felt a little expensive, although I can understand it given the quality of the meat and generous portions. Overall, it's a great place if you're craving katsu, and I'd definitely come back--just with the curry on the side next time!
