    Fried Veggie Dumplings Tater Tots and Fried Spicy Chicken
    Reena L.

    Had the pleasure of meeting the owner last night at the excelsior night market. All I can say is WOOOOOW. The food was delicious. They were kind enough to let me buy a sampler plate vs 3 individual plates. Their spicy fried chicken, veggie dumplings and tater tots with aioli are to die for. Check them out!

    Came here on a Saturday evening around 7pm and it was not packed. Only about two other tables sat around me. Got seated quickly but for some reason the staff did not give any menus so we had to flag him down a few times in order to get the menus. The food itself was pretty tasty. I liked the raw marinated crab and shrimp. You should eat it with rice because eating it alone can be salty. Plus they give you a bowl of rice and seaweed paper with the raw dishes. The rose rice cake was absolutely different and delicious. The rice cake is longer and it was chewy. The jalapeno yuzu chicken wing was decent, it did taste like yuzu for sure but it wasn't anything that stood out. The food itself is worth coming here to try but the service is meh. The worker did not check up on us often. When he gave the bill, well he gave another tables bill instead and there were only two other parties in there.... Paid the bill and asked for a receipt but I think they just forgot to bring it out.

    We came here on a Saturday night to celebrate a friend's graduation. It wasn't a packed house, so we managed to grab a table right away. They have a great selection of soju, ranging from affordable to premium. They even sell popular Korean food here like fried chicken, kalbi, spicy marinated crab, and more. Their prices are on the higher end so I'd recommend pregaming before arriving, if you're looking to get drunk. The owner is super sweet and came over to check up on us often. The space is large enough to have a mini dance floor. They play great music and even have a live DJ on certain nights. I've never been to Korea but the decor of this spot sure makes it feel like I'm there!

    On par service! Food and drinks came out super quick! Recommend: Going before 8pm. Ordering the Monster Style Tater tots (5/5) with beef bulgogi. the Seoul Mate and Old Fashioned drinks (4.5/5) Overall, would definitely come back here! They hold events for holiday events. Next events informed about were Lunar New Year. Definitely check this place out even if you aren't a K-pop enthusiast :) Lastly, Demetri is a godsend!! He is the absolute best!

    Anju!! My friends and I wanted to try this new Korean/bar place that recently opened. The atmosphere and vibes inside is vibrant with a fun DJ! We of course ordered soju's and tried a bunch of stuff on their menu. Their tteok bokki was unique since it's the long ones. A must try! Their cheese corn, galbi, buldak chicken, and marinated raw shrimp was amazing. We cleaned up every single dish! The only thing is that the portions are a bit small especially for the price. But I guess if you drink more you'll be less hungry? Would love to come again!

    Golden fried chicken

    Very ecstatic pocha style spot that blends a Korean style bar with a night club atmosphere. There's a dj playing music in the corner making the place quite lively. Interior looks super artsy with a lot of posters and decorations hanging on the walls. They have a wide variety of soju to beer to Korean inspired cocktail options and a solid selection of bites to go with all the drinking. Came on a Saturday night and it was such a party in there where people were dancing and downing drinks. Pretty fun if you're into that type of atmosphere! Service here was super quick and our server + (I think the owner?) was very accommodating/made sure we were doing fine or needed more drinks. Between 4 people, we ordered: Golden fried chicken: soy hellapeno & yuzu delight - would definitely recommend! Super crispy and flavorful Monster style Tater tots w/ bulgogi -Tater tots were bomb Spicy pork belly - would def recommend this as well Tteokbokki - wanted to like this but it was just ok. The rice cakes texture was just too mushy Red monkey makgeolli - sweet with an alcoholic kick! Neoul bom makgeolli And Soju of course Overall a great experience, would def come back!

    A lovely spot for good food and drinks that makes you feel like you're in Korea! We pre ordered the raw marinated prawns and crab and these were yummy - especially the crab!! We also really liked the raw octopus with wasabi. The soft tofu soup was a little different than normal as it was sweet but still great! Loved the teokkbokki because of the long and chewy ones! The fried chicken was a smaller portion than we expected but all the food was great overall. We got a variety of drinks including makgeolli, soju, and beer and enjoyed all of this. We unfortunately encountered a drunk customer who had an accident near our table - but the manager of the store was really apologetic and offered us some free drinks to make up for it. We'll definitely be coming back for their kpop nights as we were also a little disappointed we didn't hear kpop the night we went but were promised their K-pop's nights will be super fun!

    The Food Bulgogi with portobello mushroom is an absolute must and a star dish. Super great with cheese and I had a side of pickled daikon. The daikon didn't seem too pickled, but serving, but slightly overpriced. I really could have done without the dragonfruit beer which one of the staff really pressured me to buy, but he also recommended the bulgogi mushroom which was spot on, I am just not a beer person at all and would have preferred another drink. Sometimes you try things you've never had for the sake of it and he said it was rare for some event. It did have a nice smell though. The Ambiance Very cute decorations, all bright, and cute stands with some other Korean snacks. The place while intended for adults as a bar, has several tables and local families came with their children (under 10 years old), who were running around which I found surprising, but also noted that it's a generally very safe and clean environment that is well lit. Verdict ‍ All in all, I'd come here again, but for other drinks. The mushroom dish was great but they have other ones I would also like to try. One star less for the beer, sometimes it's better to listen to the customer.

    Interior
    Natasha H.

    Super cool interior with images of korean streets on the walls. Very colorful and has cool neon signs as well. There is plenty of seating inside, mostly tall tables with bar stools. Service was great! Had my water filled multiple times and got asked how things were many times. Parking is okay in the area, but not in the safest neighborhood. We ordered: -raw crab: came with sesame oil, rice, seaweed pack, and gloves. Wasn't too spicy and tasted fresh. Also gave a good portion size. Limited portions daily! -KFC with yuzu sauce: juicy pieces and liked the sauce. The pieces are more popcorn chicken sized. -wasabi octopus: fresh and yummy! pairs well with soju. -plain soju Overall, would come again for the good service and food. We spent ~$95 for everything listed, so definitely more of a weekend treat meal for me!

    Seoul-mate & So-Maek
    Jamie T.

    Everything from food and service was a whole vibe! Definitely a great place to kick start my trip to South Korea later this year. A great place for date night or a fun night with friends. They have an excellent list of drinks and food options, so you'll forsure have an amazing night ahead. Btw, I was told it's giving Korea Nightlife ;) Let's get into what we ordered: - Seoul Mate x2 - So-Maek - Spicy Corn Cheese - Spicy Raw Crab - Gochujang Beef Bulgogi - Kimchi Fried Rice Bon appetite!

    It was a night of smells…read more I'd been to a restaurant earlier in the evening where before, during and after my meal, I'd been assaulted by wave upon wave of potent food smells -- so potent, in fact, that when a companion became cold later on in the evening, I fetched my jacket out of the car and loaned it to her, only to watch her put it on, sniff, then discreetly take it off, fold it, and put it on a chair next to her. The coat reeked from the restaurant. Deliciously. So back to Miraloma. It also had its peculiar reek. Only it was the reek of party. The haze out front at 11:30PM could only partially be attributed to the gusts of fog sweeping through that cold parking lot. KayJay's description of it in superhero terms is apt: it sits, not a little like the Fortress of Solitude, alone in the cold and dark amidst a vast desolation. And if you are a woman, the Miraloma will endow you with mild super powers: for example, the mere act of walking through the door will give you mind control over every man in the place . Shots and drinks are poured generously and the bartender's cool. The decor is '70s VFW lounge meets downtown Beirut. The men's room had paint the color of fresh arterial blood peeling off the wall. There is a big mirror between the main barroom and the pool room, possibly to allow bartender to intervene in any sordidness near -- or on -- the pool table. Outside, you will overhear or be party to some sketchy convos. While I had some air outside, I looked into a car packed with four large men and women (who looked for the life of me like they were passed out). I eavesdropped on a patron in effect begging his friend to go easy on another friend. This conversation clearly implied that the absent friend was going to get an ass-beating from the one guy - or worse. Prison was referenced multiple times. Still, it's a great place to hunker down with fellow lizards - finding space isn't an issue and the crowd is congenial. You will never have to worry about parking here. Sometimes, that's enough.

    Small dive bar in the miraloma park neighborhood, bartender Christine/a. Is insufferable, You cant…read morehave a drink without being berated by her politics . if you disagree with her, she will just accuse you of drinking prior to walking in. It's her signature move. The other bartenders are nice , just don't go when Christine/a is working - she's very adamant about being anti law enforcement and anti veteran , God forbid you have your own opinion or served your country .... I've gone here a few times since moving back to SF & the Miraloma club is the type of place you pop into have a drink and then get out of there. They've had a few issues in the last year of people driving cars through the building(accidents/mishaps) so watch your back! They have a surprisingly decent pool table- The bar is cash only ! ATM is 50/50 (half the time you get your money half the time it doesn't work) Either way It's a good place to grab a quick drink, but I would not refer or recommend anyone to come to this place! Save your money and go to West portal if you are on this side of the city
