Saw this place all over my Instagram and TikTok so had to check it out! Food was great! Parking was a little difficult to find but not too bad if you come earlier. There was only one more table dining when we got there on a weekday around 6:30 ish. They do turn down the lights after a certain time which makes the vibes more like a lounge than a dinner spot. We split a honeycomb into two pieces instead of having a full one each (saves money too!) I love the concept and loved the honey slowly dissipating into the drink, however I felt like the wax was really hard to remove and the bits kept getting stuck (swallowed oops) read more

The service was friendly and helpful. It was busy when we were there so it was a bit hard to get the server's attention at times. We were here when they were training their cooks; decided to chance it anyway. The garlic chicken wings were very flavorful. However, because there was a lot of sauce at the bottom, the chickens at the bottom weren't as crispy. I think I would have preferred the chickens tossed in the sauce and still keep it's crispness. 9/10. The bimbimbap was delicious. It came with purple rice so you know it was legit. Beef was nicely cooked. Since it came in a stone pot, I was hoping there would be some burnt rice at the bottom. There was none. Still good nonetheless. 9.5/10. The tacos were just ok. The tortilla wasn't holding very well so all the meats was falling out and the tortilla was turning into mush. The flavor itself was pretty mid. I think it would have been better if they used toasted corn tortilla. 4/10. The banchan was less than other Korean resturants I've been to and their variety was small. Out of all of the dishes they had, I was only able to eat the kimchi and fish cake. read more

The food here was great! I went with a group of 6 and there was no wait on a Thursday night. The server was so nice and was patient with our ordering. We got the chicken wings, kimchi pancake, army stew, rose toekpokki (our fave). We also got the honeycomb maekgoli which was yummy! Super sweet but we drank it all anyways. I highly recommend this place in the sunset and there's a good amount of parking nearby. read more

Food is good but not the cheapest. Pretty big portions, but still not the best value I love their tteokbokki; it's the reason I keep coming back. The rice cakes are very chewy and the right amount of spicy for me (I can only handle so much). The tofu soup is also really tasty and comforting, though a bit bland the most recent time I've been there. I do prefer it without beef though. I thought the Kalbitang was decent, but my friend found it a bit too fatty and rich for her. The kalbi is just okay; for 8-9 pieces for $30, I thought it would be yummier. Be ready for lines. Even on a Tuesday night, we took the last table around 6:30 pm and there would consistently be 1-2 tables waiting outside for the rest of the dinner service. On Friday night, we probably waited 30-40 minutes outside and it was very cold outside. I wouldn't recommend coming here with more than 4 people unless you come before 6 pm. Definitely need to flag servers down, and they can take a while. read more

Came here on a Monday night for dinner and everything was delicious! We came right around the time it opened so we got seated right away. Ordered the Korean cheese balls which were so chewy and fluffy since it had a mochi-texture on the outside. The seafood pancake was also delicious and some of the best I've ever had, highly recommend ordering this! The rose tteokbokki was also good but I wouldn't say it was mind blowing. Got some makgeolli for drinks but decided to skip the honeycomb since it was $10 for one piece. Overall a great Korean restaurant and definitely a place to check out in the sunset! It does get crowded once it gets closer to dinner time to expect a wait or just go early. read more

The food is quality is reasonable but the serve size is very small for the price. I would go somewhere else

4.24.24 Dinner post pickleball session around 8pm - no wait. This spot reminds of your typical Korean bar, but serves more than your typically fried foods. I came to try their soup and seafood pancake. FOOD: They have your traditional Korean food - tofu soups, kalbitang, various pancakes, kalbijim, and they also offer kbbq. We opted for: - banchan: they offer a pretty good selection and the kimchi was fresh. - seafood pancake: we were pretty impressed with the size, taste and generous amount of seafood. I would say top 3 seafood pancakes I've had - and I've had my fair share of seafood pancakes - I ALWAYS order seafood pancakes at Korean restaurants :) - tofu soup mild: this was the perfect amount of spiciness and came with an raw egg as usual and a plus for including purple rice. - kalbitang: I always order this as it is my fav type of Korean soup. But their was okay. It didn't come with much glass noodles and did not come with egg strips or the wasabi soy sauce to dip the ribs. The flavor of the soup was pretty good overall. AMBIANCE: Neon signs and dark vibes so the late night bar scene. Not the biggest spot, I can imagine it can get pretty busy here during the weekend nights. SERVICE: Very friendly waiters! Verdit: I would return to try their other items. read more

I came here on a Friday night with a friend. There wasn't a wait and we got seated very quickly. We were excited to try the Makgeolli Pot with Honeycomb, and we ordered the Kimchi Fried Rice with Beef to pair with it. The Kimchi Fried Rice came in a stone pot. We assumed the rice would be sizzling but it was the same as if it would come on a plate. The flavor was amazing and the beef was so well integrated into the tanginess of the kimchi. It was a great pairing with Makgeolli. The waiter came to our table with a wooden plank of fresh honeycomb and cut it in front of us. This was so cool to watch! The honeycomb went so well with the makgeolli since we got the original flavoring and it was a bit bitter. Once you let the honeycomb sit in your drink for a while, it mixes very well. The portion of the Kimchi Fried Rice was so big, that it filled two people! Although the atmosphere was quite loud and hard to hear what each other was saying, I had a great experience! I would come back again to try other dishes! read more

Hands down one of my favorite Korean spots in SF. The food is just so amazing and at a relatively decent price. I've been here twice now and my repeats have been the pig intestines and the seafood pancake. It's not your typical korean interior for late night vibes but the food just hits the right spots that it's always going to be a repeat on my list!! read more

This place has been on my radar for a while ever since their viral honey makgeolli but I left feeling disappointed. We came as a party of 4 and shared the army stew, rose spicy rice cakes, and spicy wings. The stew and wings were just okay - nothing memorable. The tteokbokki tasted like the $10 frozen packs you can buy at Hmart and some of the noodles were undercooked. The drinks were also just meh - the honey does melt into your drink making it really sweet but it all felt very gimmicky. Strangely, all our stomachs hurt after this meal so that wasn't great either. The server was nice and the ambiance was clean/modern but food definitely fell short of expectations. read more

Come with a small group and order a bunch of different dishes to share, including the honeycomb makgeolli! Some of our favorites are the potato-cheese pancake and tteokbokki- I prefer the rosé version here over their regular because their sauce is on the mild side (not spicy enough for those who who prefer to have the kick) but rice cakes are a good chewy texture. read more

Finally! A place to try in the Sunset. This Korean restaurant has all the staple Korean foods to eat including tofu soup and kbbq. This place is pretty small so there's probably always a wait. Galbi Tang (4/5): this dish includes beef brisket, bone, noodles, and egg. This was Korean soup has the best galbi tang broth I've ever had. It was soothing and flavorful at the same time. However, I thought it lacked the amounts of meat and noodles. Korean Cheese Balls (5/5): This mochi ball was basically a Korean Mozarella ball, it was cheesy na flaky at the same time. Chicken Tonkotsu (5/5): The sauce was sweet and paired well with the chicken. The chicken wasn't too dry, but it was very plentiful. Honey comb ice cream (4/5): This honey comb was a bit too sweet for me. Definitely check this place out. read more

Came here on a Saturday night for dinner. Our party of two missed the first round of so we decided to wait for the next round. The restaurant is small so we waited outside the door and put our names on the waitlist. Our group might have gone a little over the top with trying the menu. We started with the garlic chicken wings which came out piping hot and crispy. However as the chicken cooled the wings seemed like they were drowning in sauce and no longer crispy. We also went with the kimchi pancake which came in a generous portion but wasn't as crispy as we were expecting. Although we still quite enjoyed the dish. We also tried the seafood tofu stew which had great flavor and spice. Initially the staff had put down a beef stew but we were so hungry we decided not to say anything and just enjoy our meal. Later the staff came up and apologized saying we could box the seafood stew to go. We did favor the seafood soup over the beef as it had a great broth. And the honey comb makgeolli is what brought us in! The honey comb itself is $10 per glass and we paired it with the classic black bean makgeoli. I wouldn't recommend breaking up the honey comb into the drink as the bees wax begins to float on the surface of the drink after a while. Instead pair your sips with bites of the honey comb to keep your drink relatively clean. It was a fun drink to try! We noticed that the tables inside waited quite a while for their food. But seemed to enjoy their food once it came out! Also note if you check in on Yelp there is a free snack. It's great to see another late night spot open up in the sunset! read more

I came here one night with my family out of curiosity since we always passed by the restaurant and saw it was packed. From the moment we stepped inside, the dim lighting and relaxed ambiance made it feel like the perfect spot for an intimate dinner or a chill night out with friends. The kimchi fried rice is one of the best I've ever had, especially with mozzarella added. The rice was perfectly cooked, with just the right balance of tangy, spicy, and savory flavors, all topped with a golden fried egg. The ddukbokki is another standout--chewy rice cakes in a spicy-sweet sauce that delivers just the right kick. I also highly recommend the galbi! It was incredibly tender and marinated to perfection, with a smoky, charred flavor that's simply unforgettable. There was so much more I wanted to try but couldn't fit in my stomach. I'll definitely be back again! read more

Food is mid and really really salty, had to add water to the soup just to make it tolerable. The service is also extremely slow--which could be because they're busy but it's wild that it took them 15+ minutes and a verbal reminder from us to get the small dishes. Giving a 3 star for the honeycomb, it's probably the only highlight of the night. read more

The crew is located in the sunset district. We went on a Friday night and parking wasn't too bad! I was actually surprised to see how not packed it was. We were craving Korean food and appreciated how late this place opened. Immediately walking in, it felt like cool pocha vibes. Their playlist was soooo good. I also would say they have really good experience. The waiters checked in on us often and refilled our banchan multiple times. The salad was my favorite! As for the food, I would rank it a 7/10. It was decent but nothing too crazy. Ranking the items we got (best to least): Seafood pancake, pink rose tteokbokki, kimchi jjigae, and then the kimchi fried rice. The seafood pancake was doughy and lots of toppings! I really enjoyed it. The pink rose tteokbokki had that perfect creamy carbonara flavor. The tteok was a bit overcooked tho but the long noodles was a perfect texture. The kimchi jjigae was decent! My boyfriend thought it was too fermented but I thought it was perfect. Not that much kimchi in the soup and it felt a bit thick. The kimchi fried rice was ok... we got it with beef and the egg drop. The egg was cool but I felt like I couldn't really taste the beef. I marked it down a star since I felt like it was a bit overpriced for the quality but overall, decent food. I would want to try their drinks next time! read more

I really enjoyed this place! I got the rose teokbokki with glass noodles, the pork belly, bulgogi, corn cheese, and the makgeolli with honey comb. Everything was sooo delicious. Of all these items, I would definitely order the teokbokki again and I highly recommend choosing the wide glass noodle as the option. The sauce was exceptional. Super creamy and savory. The wide glass noodle was nice and chewy. The rice wine is a definite must have if going with a large group of people. Although it's a bit strong at first, it tastes much better once the honey mixes into the wine. It's also super aesthetic. They tried to get us to get two orders, but we found that one was more than enough for a group of 6 light drinkers. The vibe of this place is super intimate since it's a tiny space. There's only a few tables total. I would recommend going right at opening since the turnover is really slow. During my experience, they ended up giving my items to a wrong table. We ended up waiting super long until we realized it wasn't coming and had to bring it up with a server. It seems like there was a lot of new people training also, so I can understand why things took a little long. Despite the mixups, they were really polite and took an item off of our bill which was so nice of them! Overall, I loved everything and would come back. read more

After seeing this restaurant on Instagram, I came here for the honeycomb rice wine combo. Unfortunately, this was the only memorable part of the meal, as they cut the honeycomb tableside ($10 per slice though). The food was pricy for the quality you get, and the flavors didn't meet my expectations. The biggest disappointment was the seafood pancake ($23.95); it was burnt and therefore, bitter, and every single one the shrimp pieces surprisingly had the tails still on! You could maybe get away with that if the shells were fried crispy like in tempura, but this was not the case. Different than the American style, the garlic fries ($13) were tossed in a garlic sauce, which gave the fries an odd stale and soggy texture. The beef in the kalbi tang ($24.95) was a bit tough. The 8 piece wings ($18.95) were fine. I wouldn't come back. read more

This place gets hectically packed on the weekends. Came here on a sat night and the wait was a hour. The decor inside was remodeled and looks a lot nicer than what it was before but it's a small restaurant so expect to wait a while for seating if you come during peak dinner time. Service was pretty quick even though the place was super packed and busy but the food was a bit disappointing and a bit more expensive compared to other Korean spots. We got 5 different dishes along with the honeycomb makgeolli drink. Seafood pancake (5/5) This came out pretty big surprisingly and it was so crispy. They also filled it with a good amount of seafood. Fried chicken wings (4/5) Fried super well as the skin came out really crispy and was steaming hot in the inside. Kimchi tofu stew (3/5) Wanted to like this but the flavor was a bit bland. Pork belly (4/5) Fatty and pretty tender. Pretty good smoky flavor. Galbi (1/5) The galbi we got was extremely chewy and not tender at all. Took a good amount of time to chew down. Honeycomb makgeolli (4/5) This was surprisingly pretty good but it's kind pricey. You pay $10 for each piece of honeycomb and another 14 for a kettle of makgeolli. It does make it taste sweet and refreshing though! read more

The restaurant is open only for dinner and it is kind of small. I recommend getting there early if you want a table because there will be a wait. I honestly think this spot is a little overrated and most people come here to try out the viral honeycomb makgulri(my wife). I think most of the dishes we got were way too sweet for my liking. The mochi cheeseballs were super sweet and the sweetness overpowered the savoriness of the mozzarella cheese. The tteobokki had a nice kick but again was way too sweet, overpowering and savoriness the dish had. The pork bulgogi was not bad, it had a nice balance of sweet and savory but it's definitely not like beef bulgogi! The Korean fried chicken was a little dry and it's super hard to compare to Korean fried chicken from Korea because I can't find anything like it here in the states. The honey makgulri is super overrated, it's 10 dollars just for the honeycomb and another 14 for the makgulri pairing but all you're really doing is adding honey to your drink. I have to give this place props for the Korean seafood pancake though, I think it is worth the price because it's loaded with ingredients and super crispy! read more

Finally went back to the Crew after going several years ago. The interior of the restaurant has changed (for the better) and the food was delicious! My party of 2 went on a Saturday but we got there 30mins before opening since they don't do reservations. They get busy quickly so I suggest getting there early! Food Ordered: Kalbi half portion -bbq (9/10): the meat wasn't overly greasy and was perfectly marinated! I do wish it was a little hotter even though it was on a hot stone plate. Corn Cheese (10/10): one of my fave dishes at the Crew! The cheese was so gooey and hot and had the perfect amount to compliment the amount of corn. Mozzarella Corndog (3/10): to me this wasn't worth since you can get mozzarella corndogs for cheaper at asian markets and this one was covered in way too much sugar. There also wasn't much of a cheese pull. Kalbi Short Rib Soup (9/10): I'm a sucker for Kalbitang and the broth for this was perfect. I wish there were more bones, but that's my personal preference. The Crew Wings - Garlic (9/10): the taste was amazing, but with the sauce it does lose some of its crispiness. Drinks Ordered: Honeycomb Makgeolli (9/10): if you like sweet honey drinks, this is perfect for you! It got a bit too sweet for me towards the end, but I still enjoyed it. Overall for 2 people, we finished everything and enjoyed most of the items we ordered. We're definitely planning on coming back and trying more items! read more

I've been to the crew a few times before and I wanted to try it after they remodeled! The decor is nice. Sad to say I am a little disappointed by everything. When we got seated they forgot to give us menus and did not make any eye contact with us when we were trying to flag them down. After finally getting our menus and ordering, we also noticed the table next to us that got seated 15 mins later, received their food first before us! It took us a while to get our food. The food was okay in my opinion. The only dish I enjoyed was the seafood pancake. The galbi was very chewy but the flavor was good. There was nothing special about any of the dishes we tried and it was all SO pricey compared to other Korean places. Kimchi fried rice for $23?? In my opinion the food was way overpriced for the quality. read more

Props to a Korean place that has vegetarian options- I know I can't take that for granted. We came at 5:30pm on weeknight because we knew it could get busy. Corn cheese: best I've ever had and I usually don't even like corn cheese. Cheese was nice and creamy almost like an alfredo. Vegan bibimbap: solid choice - nice shallow bowl to get maximum sizzle. Tofu soup - really yummy for a cold night. got medium spicy but it wasn't really. Came with purple rice! And of course we came for the honey Makgeolli so had to get that! Really cool concept but the beeswax was floating all over my cup towards the end and the honey made it too sweet so not sure I would get it again. Server also pointed out which banchan was vegetarian and which were not (the marinated bean sprouts apparently are not!!). That was super helpful too. read more

TLDR: everything was disappointing from the rude server to all the food we tried. Save your time and money and eat somewhere else. First off when our table was called and we went in, another server saw us and rolled her eyes at us and then asked how many in our party. AND THEN SHE ROLLED HER EYES AGAIN WHEN WE TOLD HER. At this point we should've left already to go to cafe bakery but we wanted to try this place again since it revamped recently so we ignored her. The same server not only gave us hella attitude all night but none of the food hit... We got the set #1 for the bbq and ordered bulgogi, kalbi, the kot-sol, and spicy pork. The only thing that was okay was the spicy pork. The spicy pork was the best thing we ordered and it still wasn't even that great. Bulgogi and kalbi were flavorless. I don't know if they expected the sesame oil and salt to make up for that but it was bland and didn't taste marinated at all. Seafood pancake was hella oily. I had the piece that was under the sauce cup and it was burnt... texture was okay but it was burnt so I don't think that really counts. Rose tteokbokki...the flavor was not it. So sad because I love creamy tteokbokki like the one from 707 so I wanted to try it here but it came out on a hella small griddle plate thing and was just so disappointing. The honeycomb makgulri was what I was most excited about when coming here because they didn't have this when I used to come here before Covid. $10 for the honeycomb and then you buy the $14 rice wine to pair with it. It was good at first but once you keep drinking it you keep getting bits and pieces of the beeswax and that was very unpleasant. At the end of our dinner an older woman came up to us and asked how everything was and was everything good and we all awkwardly said yea because how we're we supposed to tell her that everything sucked?? Literally everything the only thing that was okay was the spicy pork but it was still very mid compared to other places. The food was way below mid and our server was rude. Worst restaurant I've ever experienced in San Francisco. You can't have bad food and bad service pick one read more

Had a nice time checking this place out on a late Monday night. It's street parking and next to the Tiki Haven bar. Cool vibe and friendly staff.

The Crew is perfect for late-night Korean food, with a lively atmosphere and tons of creative dishes and drinks to try. We had the kimchi fried rice, fried chicken, bibimbap, fresh premium BBQ, and seafood pancake--all of it was delicious. The cotton candy Makgeolli was a fun surprise, but I highly recommend trying their Makgeolli with honeycomb. It's such a unique combo and definitely makes the experience special. If you're looking for a great spot to hang out with friends, enjoy amazing food, and sip on some creative cocktails, this is the place. Plus, they're open late, so it's perfect for a night out! read more

I first heard of The Crew when I saw their unique honeycomb drink and was enticed. I decided to grab dinner with my friend on a weekday and arrived when it had just opened. First off the bat, the service here is so terrible, the workers here straight up ignore you. My friend had arrived first and I ran a little late so she tried to see if she can get us down on the waitlist or be seated. She was not greeted and was met by blank stares when she entered. She had then asked the workers a few questions on how she can proceed with getting us a table or putting our names down on a list, but there no responses and just stares. Really bad first impressions of this place and the service. When I finally arrived and we were seated, it took forever to flag a worker down to take our order. Mind you it was not busy either as they just opened and more than half the restaurant was empty. There were 3 workers up at the front cashier area and we were trying to flag them down but they blatantly ignored us until they all looked at each other and one girl came over with an annoyed look and rushed to take our order. The food was just alright in my opinion. The honeycomb drink was very underwhelming and pricey. They honey didn't even incorporate into the drink since the drink was cold. It is definitely just overhyped and for the pics. We got the Army Stew and it was a pretty decent size to be split among us two. The chicken wings were also decent but I would opt for a different flavor. We got sweet and spicy but I think garlic would have been the better option. We also got the okonomiyaki fries and they were pretty good but I wished it was more equally seasoned instead of just the top fries. Overall, the food was not too bad but I will not revisit or recommend due to the poor service here. read more

This was not my first time coming to the Crew but the place had been remodeled so everything was very clean and new! The menu also seemed like it got larger from before so there were so many dishes I wanted to try. Items ordered - The Crew wings: These wings were so juicy and flavorful! One of their popular dishes. - Japchae: Wow the amount of vegetables and mushrooms was amazing for me, but I wish the noodles themselves had a bit more flavor to them. - Tofu soup: Can never go wrong with tofu soup and this one was delicious! - Kimchi fried rice hot plate: I think there could be a bit more flavor to this dish but kimchi fried rice always hits. Overall, a great place for comfort Korean food! Would come back to try more of their other dishes! read more

My experience here was kinda so-so. I came on a Tuesday night with a friend not expecting it to be too busy but it was still about an hour wait to get seated and around another 30 min waiting for our food to come out. The restaurant isn't too big so definitely expect a wait thats probably even worse on weekends. As for the food, it was alright and my favorite was the rose tteokbokki which wasn't too spicy but flavorful. What was interesting was that the rice cakes have a variety of sizes which was something I've never seen before. I would say this place is worth trying once granted I might have come on an off day but the high add-on prices (5 dollars for cheese is kinda crazy) and mediocre food means I will personally not be a regular here. read more

I came for fried chicken and ended up enjoying every dish! If I didn't want to wait for an hour+ at San Tung, this place satisfied my cravings. The wings were lacking some crunch, I wish it was served hot(I didn't take long for pics either) . I came on a Sunday evening when they had just opened and it got busy really quickly. Everything I ordered was delicious, and most importantly not overly salty. The food tastes as good as the pic looks! This place is kid and group friendly. 10/10 service: the server offered to mix the bibimbap for us after respectfully waited for my food pics to be taken. He understood the assignment. Next time, I would try the creamy rose Tteokbokki and kimchi fried rice. read more

Came here for a birthday dinner, party of 10, they only gave us 2 sets of banchan. And when we asked for our 3rd refill for one of the sets, (only asked for refill twice on the other set) when technically we should have gotten 5 sets of banchan, was told they would charge us $5. Wtheck! Also not only did they charged us 22% for large party tip, they added the tip AFTER tax. I am all for adding a large party tip, I respect that but most places are 15-18% with an option to add additional tip but this restaurant really just charged us 22% tip when the service was not 22% tier. This restaurant use to be my favorite but they just left a bad taste in our mouths. Being greedy is not a good business strategy. And because of that, we won't be coming back or recommending this place anymore. read more

it's hard. rating this lower than when i had them back in 2021. there's just a lot they've changed and not for the better. there's a few things that made this place being a homey, reasonably priced, delicious restaurant to being an overrated, average tasting/not worth it, intense yelling zone. they've renovated their restaurant. awesome. lovely. they've also changed their menu to be more trendier and to include stuff i have admired from shows. however the service and quality doesn't meet the expectations of was presented to me via social media, or of what i thought the food was suppose to taste like. what was good? the cheese kimchi pancake. always a fan favorite and glad they didn't take that off the menu. it's so thick and cheesy, it's giving pizza. galbi/kalbi is standard. nothing special. banchans good! lots of variety. what was not good? the rose tteokbeokki. it was really not good. it wasn't creamy, it wasn't spicy, it wasn't really anything and the flavor itself was just off. i wish i listened to the other yelpers who also felt the same way. the honey makgulri was just the aesthetics because of the honeycomb has the white stuff, it makes the whole drink gritty, with hard white bits stuck to your mouth and have to spit out. the sweetness didn't blend/mix with the alc especially because the drink is cold and in order to melt honey, it needs to be hot. and finally, the service. service itself was really poor. the servers don't check up on y'all to either take order, check on the food/table, give the bill at the appropriate time, etc, nor does they acknowledge us if i was getting their attention. it's clear they bit off more than they can chew and i hope they can work on quality of service, instead of them just giving half baked service as they're overworked themselves. crew if you reading this, bring back the Pork Jjagleri, it was so good and yummy. read more

I was excited to try this place since I had passed by many times during the day when they are closed. So when I saw they were open AND had seating open, I jumped at the chance. Unfortunately (or maybe not..!) I was getting over a cold so I went toward the soup rather than my typical dolsat bibimbap. But let me tell you-this is where the "I was getting over a cold" thing worked in my favor! It pushed me towards the short rib soup and that beef broth was amazing! And, of course the short ribs! So good. So satisfying! Piggy me still ordered chicken wings because I was not going to The Crew for a first time and skipping some what sounded like amazing appetizer options! (Yeah, I would have gotten that corn hotdogs maybe or bulgogi tacos but..."getting over cold"...) Anyways, I am dying to go back and with a larger group because Sharing is caring, and I love variety and "tasting" so more people means I could try more items that looked majorly delish! At the same time, I realize this could be a challenge since they have limited seating. My friend ordered the tofu soup and let me have some. That, too, was a major win! Service was great, prices fair, food great and a nice, clean atmosphere. This is a small restaurant so seating is limited so perhaps 10 tables-? Casual atmosphere. A group of 16 happened in as we finished up-later in the evening on a Monday-so it's doable for large groups but probably not during their peek hours/days. read more

Great service and good. Since we have large party. We cannot grill ourselves. They don't take reservations on weekends. A late night hang out spot for Sunset: read more

The sides were delicious but the fried rice tasted a bit more overcooked than normal. The 2.0 stars is more for the service. Verify your order before they put it in. I ordered a seafood Kim chi fried rice and the server ordered me a plain one. He also added a spicy tofu seafood soup, which I never ordered. I had to move my seafood from the soup to the fried rice bc I thought that's how the restaurant did it. When the bill came, I saw a $19.00 addition that was the soup I never ordered. Also, to the girl that sat next to me venting about her childhood trauma to your friends, bless your soul. I hope everything works out for you. You got this. read more

There seems to always be a line out the door here, but we were able to stop in on a Tuesday night dinner with little to no wait. We definitely ordered way too much food, but everything was delicious! My personal favorites were the tofu soup, and the grilled pork belly. Their alcohol options were also delicious and paired well with honeycomb. Crowd here is lively and there's a good number of four seaters in the restaurant. The servers always seem to find a way to ask you if you're doing ok, and are super attentive with side dish refill, water refills and taking away plates. Overall, good food and great service! read more
