Caveat, this was a DoorDash delivery so I cannot speak to the in-person experience. I was stuck in the hospital for over a week at CPMC and after a while hospital food gets boring. Hopefully you never end up in the hospital but if you do, Saucy Asian is right in the neighborhood so whatever you order gets here quickly right off the grill. Self-described as "flavor mashups served with Korean style and a California kick in the buds," I would order their Saucy Asian Poke bowl ($17). With rice, greens, assorted fish and kimchi, it was a welcome and delicious meal that hit the spot with protein, fresh salad and slaw. As a self-described saucy Asian myself, I endorse this spot. read more

I ordered Saucy Asian for the first time through DoorDash and tried the spicy poke bowl with a mixed greens and rice base, topped with tuna and salmon. Because it was delivered, the bowl didn't taste as fresh as I imagine it would dining in, which definitely impacted the overall flavor. The spice level was also pretty mild for something labeled "spicy poke," so I ended up adding my own hot sauce to give it a bit more heat. On the positive side, I did like the portion size. It's not overly large, which makes it a good option for a quick, lighter meal without feeling too heavy. read more

Saucy Asian - SPICY POKÉ - Korean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Bought this for dinner takeout and wasn't disappointed! The portions were filling and flavorful. I would recommend trying this out at least once! 4/5 - Island Poke - The sauce is light and salmon served fresh! Would've preferred a bit more fish to go with their salad portion. However, the sauce worked well for both the salad and the fish which was impressive. The crunch from the crispy onions and the green onions gave a very mixed and unique texture profile, and I was impressed with the meal. read more

Saucy Asian - ISLAND POKÉ & DDEOKBOKKI - Korean Near Me - San Francisco, California

I ordered the Saucy Aisan Poke with a mixed green base, salmon and tuna. It came with spicy marinatade, carrots, slaws, white onions, kimchi gochujang aioli. The fish tasted good, but the overall flavor was a bit too overwhelming. I could mostly taste the sauce in my poke. The portion was also a little for me, so it didn't feel very filling. I also tried their sweet and spicy chicken wings, which were really delicious, it was juicy and flavorful. I highly recommended getting their fried chicken! It was easy to place an order, you can either order in person or use the kiosk machine. The staff were really friendly and attentive. read more

Saucy Asian - Korean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Saucy Asian is a fast casual Asian restaurant with decent variety and solid enough quality. After a long workout, my friends and I wanted something quick and simple to eat nearby and stumbled upon the Saucy Asian. The space has a few spots for sit down and eating, but not enough for too many people. We ordered through the tablet which provided several options such as bowls (including poke bowls) and burritos. I ordered the Island Poke Bowl. True to its name, the restaurant name the dish was pretty saucy one was mild spice and the other a creamy mayo that complemented each other well. It was a standard poke bowl with tuna and salmon and mixture of toppings. For the portions and size, it did come out to be a decent value since it was pretty big. In terms of service, the food was ordered on a screen and then the food came out relatively fast. There is minimal street parking so may need to park elsewhere and walk over. Overall, Saucy Asian is a decent food stop for Asian food that is decent value in the Castro area. read more

Saucy Asian - ISLAND POKÉ - Korean Near Me - San Francisco, California

If you like your food saucyyyyy, this is the place to go. lol We've actually ordered from here through 3rd party apps. Both times definitely hit the spot. We tried their kimchee burrito - it had beans I think, which we normally exclude, but in this mashup, it was fine and delicious. Saucy burrito, not dry. saucy asian fries- also a solid savory delight. soy garlic wings - also tasty. kimchee quesadilla with bulgogi - hit the spot when you want a little cheesy savory goodness. spicy pork bibimbap - I'm pretty picky with spicy pork, and I really like theirs. tender, just the right amount of spicy, and again. SAUCY. what can I say, both times we ordered, we were satisfied and happy with our meals. It's filling but not food-coma. I'm only sad it's in the Castro and not closer to home, so I can pick it up more often. So a treat it is! read more

I imagine 3 college kids hanging out in a living room with mismatched furniture and joking, "We should put FRIES and KIMCHI in a burrito!" "Rad! But keep the guacamole - then stuff it with BULGOGI, yeah!" Whether you "bowl it, wrap it, fold it or poke it" you can find delicious Korean fast food that will satisfy cravings both in taste and quantity. The portions are generous and flavors are punchy. It hits all the notes of sweet-salty-fatty in a unique way. Both the Saucy Asian bowl and wrap with spicy pork and pan fried tofu (+$2) were hits and the wrap was so enormous it made two meals- not complaining in this economy. We also ordered the beef potstickers and soy garlic wings which were solid. Having driven past this cute eatery a dozen times, the decor is bouncy and fun and delivery, speedy. Three locations in Milpitas (Great Mall), Emeryville and San Francisco. Recommend, "like TOTALLY bruh, rad!!" read more

The spicy poke with salmon was mediocre as the salmon didn't taste very fresh nor had much salmon flavor. The spicy mayo sauce paired well with greens. Jalapeños added some extra spice. There was no wait on a Friday night. I ordered through the kiosk and got my food quickly after. There are window seatings and a tall center table. read more

I've been to this place before. I ordered Saucy Asian bowl with salad and rice and soy sauce chicken. I have noticed that the bowl has shrunk. It used to be bigger and now it's 3/4 of the size of the former bowl. There is no wait seed ice. There's a person at the cashier. I often wonder how places can ask for a tip when there's no wait service. It's a small place and I sat outside since it was a nice sunny day for lunch read more

Saucy Asian - Soy sauce chicken saucy Asian bowl with combined rice & salad - Korean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Saucy Asian is a tasty, easy option in the area. They've got a good variety, bowls, burritos, loaded fries, and poke. I usually go for the spicy poke bowl with salmon and tuna. The fish is always fresh, and the toppings like slaw, cucumbers, jalapeño, tobiko, and kimchi aioli add great flavor. I'm not a big kimchi fan, but the aioli is really good. Next time I'll ask for no mixed greens and go all rice, it leaned more salad than rice bowl. Staff is always friendly and happy to accommodate. On a nice day, it's great to sit outside at the sidewalk tables. read more

A delicious neighborhood gem. Friendly efficient staff. Only had a kimchi burrito with shiitake mushrooms to go and it was amazing and huge!

Saucy Asian. Condiment Queen. Saucy Minx. Just a few of my nicknames. (I joke, but did anyone catch that "Love Actually" reference?) True to social media pics (no catfishing here), the top of my Saucy Asian Bowl ($15.99 + $2 for bulgogi beef) was evenly coated in gochujang aioli. The bottom is layered with rice, mixed greens, & japchae noodles; I left my bowl unmixed which made each bite a flavor & textural surprise with additional crunchy elements coming from kimchi, slaw, & fried shallots. As the restaurant fuses Korean & Mexican flavors, I couldn't leave without ordering their tacos & burrito. My bf enjoyed the Spicy Pork Street Tacos ($14.49), so much so that he polished off all three in one sitting. The Cali Burrito ($14.99) was filled with Soy Sauce Chicken (thigh meat), fries, guac, cheese, cream, pico, & scallions, but the dominant flavor was their delicious garlic sauce. Generous portions, perfect for sharing. Well-made food for people who, like me, can't get enough of sauces & condiments. It took me too long to finally try Saucy Asian but I plan to make up for lost time by having their Kimchi Burrito & Bibimbap ASAP. read more

Saucy Asian - Korean Near Me - San Francisco, California

We ordered and dined in at Saucy Asian. Not sure if there were understaffed for the day, but it took quite a while for our food to come out. I think people normally order DoorDash from here and that's why there were so many orders even though the restaurant was pretty empty. The food was good, but not consistent. My friend and I ordered the exact same poke bowl but his was visibly significantly larger than mine. It's kind of a gamble, much like chipotle. Some days you will get a large bowl, some days it seems the fish is scarce. It would be nice to order and go to a nearby park to eat it for a picnic. read more

First time trying Saucy Asian and I was impressed! I ordered the spicy pork kimchee burrito and surprisingly, the flavors worked well together. Burrito is served with homemade chips and salsa. Good portion size and lunch was plated clean. I don't know why that matters to me, but it's like I enjoy my food more when it's made with "love." I would definitely recommend. read more

Great poke spot! Came here for a to-go lunch on a Friday afternoon and there was no line. The inside decor is very colorful and fun, and there's a bit of seating inside if you wanted to eat there. The cashier was super friendly! I got the Island Poke Bowl with rice base. The ingredients were so delicious and balanced! Good proportions of all ingredients, and they don't skimp out on the fish. The fish tasted fresh and the sauce wasn't overdone, which is a problem I have with many poke places. Had a relaxing afternoon eating my bowl in Mission Dolores -- would come again! read more

I'm amazed by the prices they offer here!

I got the tonkatsu bowl, and it was delicious. The rice was the perfect texture, and it wasn't too oversauced. I'll definitely be coming back when I need a quick bowl fix! read more

Food amount is good, food is good my fav is the spicy pork, not too much spice like burn your mouth & u cant taste but spicy good.

This place is nice inside, though it's somehow not really conducive to hanging out. There are a few tables, but it's more of a takeaway place. Service is efficient. We got a Kimchi Burrito and a Saucy Asian Burrito with bulgogi. Both of them were tasty and well-portioned. It comes with good corn chips and salsa The prices are reasonable. I'm often skeptical of fusion type cuisine, but classic Korean American food does well as a burrito! I'll be back for a casual bite. read more

Been here enough times that I felt it was time to give a strong review. I honestly believe korean-Mexican fusion is one of the best food fusions. The burritos here are massive, tasty, and incredibly filling (and so satisfying). At just a few blocks from Dolores, I'd recommend grabbing a burrito to go and enjoying it in the park. My go-to order is a kimchi burrito with guac and either spicy chicken or beef bulgogi. Prices seem to be a bit higher on delivery apps so I'd recommend ordering in person- the wait isn't too long and the ambiance is decent. I normally end my reviews with whether or not I'll go back, but as I've been here (or ordered from here) multiple times even though I live over a mile away, I think that sufficiently covers my feelings about this restaurant. read more

Made my way to Saucy Asian after training earlier today. The restaurant is pretty nice- it's got good, urban vibes. A lot of options on the menu, but I ended up going with the kimchi burrito (spicy pork + an extra egg). The burrito is 1lb flavor bomb- with so much going on you think it'd be too much, but it was pretty balanced, and the filling ratio was quite good as well. The rice wasn't hard, nothing was cold, the flavors were good, and though saucy, I was able to enjoy my burrito in the car without any spillage problems. My order also came with chips and salsa- bonus! I'll be sure to come back and try something new soon. Thanks Team Saucy Asian! read more

Saucy Asian - SAUCY ASIAN BOWL with bulgoggi - Korean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Korean food is one of my favorite cuisine and I understand it's a fusion spot but I just didn't love it. I ordered the Cali burrito and it was good but I don't think I would order it again. I would like to try the Bibimbap. I thought the Cali burrito was very saucy. Obviously it's called Saucy Asian but I think I could do without the sauce, or maybe on the side. I'd like to come back and try to Bibimbap. The place was clean, the service was nice and I got my food pretty quickly. It's a nice establishment. read more

I came to the restaurant to eat but because I was so stuck I wanted to use the restroom first and they didn't let me do it and said I had to buy something first. This is ridiculous. They don't have to treat customers so rudely read more

Just stopped in for a quick bite while running around after hearing several recommendations and wasn't disappointed! Only ended up trying the saucy Asian tacos but everything people around me were eating looked and smelled really good. Tacos were very good, crema stood out as a highlight. Asian fusion has been a fad for a while and some places fall flat while others really nail it. I would say, in my brief and limited experience, that Saucy Asian is much closer to the latter, but not all the way there. Definitely worth a try. read more

Absolutely recommend saucy Asian if you are in the Castro! Not only was it super fast, great friendly service, but also affordable for the city! The saucy bowl with shittake mushrooms was perfect for vegetarians and filling! It is seasoned with their delicious sauce which next time I'm going to ask for more on the side. Really nice veggies and just a perfect size for a meal. The star for my boyfriend was the saucy Philly cheese steak. I was so impressed with the flavors and how delicious the cheese, steak and sauce all melded together. Probably one of my favorite cheese steaks ever!! read more

I eat it as pick up and it was good but not as great as expected, the rice I believe is too little. The beef bulgogi I order was nothing special. The drink was supposed to come with zippie but they give me with regular cup. I would recommend it if you don't have time to enjoy but If not than no. The owner reply back to me their customer service is really good I believe it's worth the try for your own palette. read more

I stopped in for Poke after the gym. I ordered the island poke with a mix of tuna and salmon. This was some of the most flavorful Poke I've ever had! I ordered all sauces on the side which allowed me to kind of control the flavors, but the soy sauce blend that comes with the island poke bowl was delicious! It paired perfectly with the coconut rice and the crispy shallots. I also appreciated that the bowl had a liberal amount of both greens and rice so it felt healthy but still satisfying. There is not really space to dine inside here. Just some seating along the wall on a bar. There are a few tables outside if you want to eat there, but those are limited. For the price and the quality, this is a local neighborhood gem! read more

The food is delicious, but the customer service has absolutely tanked since they first opened. I used to love this place, but won't return after being told I couldn't pick up the food I ordered and paid for online through their website. It might not be the best idea to tell people they can't have food the moment they step inside, before saying hello. Especially if they show up half an hour before your restaurant closes to pick up the order placed earlier in the day for pick up. As someone who works in customer service, that was absolutely ridiculous behavior. read more

Fresh, Well Seasoned Food and Pleasant Service. Parking was not bad though I did arrive at around 7:30pm. The service as always was friendly and flawless, with my order being a Saucy Asian Burrito, that was generously filled, and comprised of well seasoned components, in addition it was accompanied with chips that were tasty and freshly made. In the end it was a nice Dinner that was more then ample and satisfying. This is not my first time at Saucy, and can happily recommend their Poke and Rice Bowls also. read more

Walking through my old stomping grounds this restaurant is located just across the street of the elementary school I attended in San Francisco. When I went to High School this place was a liquor store. This spot now as a restaurant has one of the best cheese steaks I ever had and the secret ingredient is the Beef Bulgogi.

Boyfriend and I both liked our bowls from Saucy Asian! It's a fast casual place. Order and pay at the counter and they bring your food. There are two two-person tables outside. I got the spicy poke bowl, which comes with spicy mayo and a generous heaping of salmon. Boyfriend got the Saucy Asian Bowl. Both were tasty! My boyfriend didn't like the japchae in his bowl, so maybe he would go with just the bibimbap bowl next time. I would also like to try to bibimbap bowl next time. read more

Like they say "Life is a Highway" and somehow we didn't get a speeding ticket for how fast this year has been going by. I got to spend my spring break up in SF taking care of some personal matters. I really enjoyed the artwork and decorations which reminded me of a night market food stand. It wasn't very busy at the time, and the workers were patient with us not knowing what to order. Just like the game Smashbros, I felt as though i was looking at the "choose my fighter" I chose Saucy Asians, and my opponent was Chipotle. My first time and my recent visit This spot gave me the familiarity feeling of an Americanized Korean Chipotle grab-and-go takeout service. Finally, after looking at the menu for quite some time i was able to decide my,"character" which was a bowl with what i think was Bigolgi. Still trying to figure out what in the world they did, but the sauce on top was top-notch. I was so into the food that I was enjoying my bowl like no other making and munching it faster than Kirby sitting at the dining table. With every Bite i could feel the battle of which place was going to like better just as if it was the final round with little to no health left. The final match comes to an end as i could no longer stuff myself with another bite of my bowl. No doubt that the battle was won by Saucy Asian which kicked Chipotle right off the map. read more

I've tried the Saucy Asian Bowl and the Island Poke Bowl. My favorite among the two is the Island Poke bowl! It tastes very fresh and the sauce complements the ingredients very well. The Saucy Asian Bowl was indeed a bit too saucy for me and has lots of sodium in the sauce. All their ingredients taste really fresh. I definitely recommend the island poke bowl. It's delicious!! read more
