    Kimchi Beef Kimchi Fried Rice / 김치볶음밥
    Vena L.

    Came at around 6:30 pm on Monday on Memorial Day Weekend. The ambiance is nice and dimly lit but it is a bit small and only has one bathroom. They have shades at the table for privacy which was nice! We had to wait about 20 mins for a table which wasn't bad, it is a smaller restaurant so there is less space to wait. We got seated and ordered the stir fry tteokboki with calamari, rose tteokboki, the crispy chicken wings and the pineapple soju and mango soju. The first thing that came out was the fried rice. It was more on the wet side, had ground beef and Kimchi in it with an egg and seaweed on top. If you like wet fried rice then I would recommend, it was kimchi flavored but not too overpowering, I wish the beef were in bigger chunks tho. Overall a solid dish for the table 7.5/10 We received the stir fried calamari and tteokboki next . I really enjoyed the way the squid was cooked, a slight crunch to it but not overcooked. There was also mushroom and bell peppers in it and was one of my favorite dishes that night. I wish the tteeokboki was more stir fried than the squid and had a crispy exterior as that would be a nice textural difference than the squid but it still tasted super good! Def one of my favorite dishes that night! 8.8/10 The crispy chicken wings were good. They were juicy and crispy, the only thing I would ask for is more seasoning. But when I dipped the chicken into the rose tteokboki sauce, it was such a good combo. The cheesy with a bit of spice was so good. And it was still crunchy as well, I def recommend getting them together!! The rose tteokboki was definitely the best thing I had that night. 9/10 Chicken 8/10 Lastly we had the pineapple and mango soju. It came in a pretty big bottle, and was super fruity! Usually I don't like soju but this was actually very nice. I would get it again! Overall fun vibes, cute atmosphere, good food and good alcohol!! Would come back for sure! TLDR; small restaurant but good food! Would get the rose tteokboki and the chicken wings for sure. Flavored soju was good as well!

    Seafood Pancake / 해물파전

    Fun spot for late night korean food -- love that they're open til 2am some days. I will say the food was not the best korean food I've ever had, but the vibe was fun and it satisfied the cravings I had! The rose tteokbokki was a lot cheesier than expected-- I wish it was less cheese and more sauce. The flavor was delicious overall but the texture was off because there was so much cheese and it got very clumpy. The spam stew was pretty salty after a few bites -- definitely needed rice to help soak up the salt. I liked all the different components in the stew-- the noodles, meat, spam, sausage, kimchi, tofu, and more! It definitely serves 4-5 people if you're ordering other dishes. Very good value for the price. The seafood pancake was quite oily and not super flavorful until I added sauce. The portion is quite big though, and they do include a good amount of seafood inside! Ambiance inside is cozy but I felt very cold the whole time even though we had stew boiling. It seems like a fun place to go get late night food after drinking! Service was kind and efficient, but pretty minimal (have to flag down people for anything you need).

    Came here at opening time on a Sunday with one other person. It's very dimly lit inside and very family style as large parties come to eat and have some drinks together. We ordered the spam stew after craving it for so long, corn cheese, and bulgogi. I thought that the stew would taste fine since it's something casual but it was missing flavor. It may have been the overly fermented kimchi that overwhelmed the flavor of the stew but the more I ate the more I was finding myself forcing myself to eat. The corn cheese was nothing special and the bulgogi was also missing flavor, the texture was not great but did end up finishing it. I can not speak on the other dishes on the menu but I left unsatisfied and don't foresee myself coming back.

    Opens 6pm and it gets busy fast with a crowd waiting at the door. It gets crowded inside at the door area because it's not that much space to stand around. Inside is bigger than you'd think. A converted residential garage into a commercial restaurant space. You kinda forget you're in a garage! Food is good: Steamed egg - but was too salty Meats Army stew! Kimchi seafood pancake is done very well here, crispy Street Parking thankfully isn't so hard here

    I was hanging in Outer Sunset ( SF), and decided that I was craving tteokbokki. Toyose was close by, and I hadn't been there. Parking was fairly easy, considering it's SF. I was seated fairly quickly, and was also able to order just as fast. The restaurant is in a converted two house, with the restaurant being at the bottom. The concept is rather cool, but the ceilings are fairly low and seating is tight. I ordered the rosé Tteobokki. This definitely did not meet the taste that I wanted. The dish was very sweet, and the actual rice columns were oddly shaped/thin, as opposed to the traditional ones. I will say that it was cheesy, ( which I ordered), but it clashed with the sweetness/overall taste of the dish. Service was very minimal. Meh. I'm glad I tried a new place, but it's not on my must go again list.

    Kimchi Soup / 김치찌개
    Christina L.

    Arrive about 20 minutes early to be able to get seat when it opens. (About 12-16 tables in the restaurant). Yes, it is a garage. The interior is somewhat dark, but it's homey in there. The menu has a decent selection of item, known for soup, so slightly more soup options. If it gets busy, you may need press the button to call the server over to your table. Unfortunately, I wish Toyose would have Bonchon dishes. Seafood pancake ($19.95) was filled with octopus and veggies. Tasted super fresh, even tastier with spicy soy sauce dip. the Kimchi soup ($19.95) came in a large sizzling pot and had a great sourness to it. Plenty of tofu as well. Spicy fishcake has a soy sauce soup which was light. Not too long of a wait for food, a good cozy spot.

    Rice Cake (Tteokbokki) / 떡볶이
    Elsa J.

    Food: - Items: Chicken Katsu, Tteokbokki - Chicken Katsu was crispy and the salad was nice, but for a late night meal I probably wouldn't get it again, I personally prefer the Japanese style Chicken Katsu with curry // small gripe with this dish is the sauce isn't on the chicken pieces below so I wish it maybe came with some extra sauce? So the customer can dip the chicken in (7/10) - Tteokbokki was great, spicy, filling, the sauce was thicker than what I've had in the past but I'm not sure if that's due to regional differences in the cuisine - still I enjoyed it a lot (9/10) - 8/10 Service: - You write your name, phone number, and the amount of people in your party on a notebook when you walk in - Pretty busy place so about 15-20 minute wait time - Call button so you can get the waiters attention easily - Pretty busy so we didn't get our water for a while but when it was less busy our waiter came by more often and filled up our water - Shoutout to Alan, we enjoyed regaling you with our Yelp lore lol - 8/10 Ambiance: - Love the decor - Great parking for SF - The place is small, but I actually liked that since it adds to the cozy vibes especially on a cold night - The lighting inside was really nice and not too harsh - Great late night spot - 10/10 Overall Rating: 8.5/10

    Love love love Toyose. Will always come back for my cravings of Korean food. Toyose never disappoints when it comes to the freshness of their dishes. Everything tasted delicious. The staff is always courteous and friendly. They make time to check on you while dining. The ambiance is cozy like you're at your own home especially in some areas where you get to roll down the privacy screens. Come and try delicious Korean food for yourself so you can be the judge.

    Ambience paired with solid food= great place Corn cheese: cheesy goodness with sweet flavor of corn. Kimchi pancake extra crispy: asked for extra crispy as it comes on the softer side, not spicy at all. good crunch, chewy, and packed with flavor Chicken wings: breading is not heavy, just a light batter to them. Spam stew: best way to end the night or a long day. Hot, delectable soup, very comfortable. it comes out steaming It's in an old garage space that adds character to the joint. service is requested with the push of a button. the first queue is at 6:00, and there was already a line by 5:40.

    Decoration of this place is lovely! Almost feels like the inside of a ship, lots of wood and dark tones. And huge win for staying open late! Staff is very polite and I've heard that their drinks are good, but the food doesn't stay behind! I tried their Beef Kimchi Fried Rice, Chicken Gizzard Stir Fry, Calamari Stir Fried and Calamari Soup, they were all tasty. Honest Korean food, good servings for a decent price! And if you are coming for a late night dinner or something, parking is a breeze! I have been here a few times and will be back again!

    Fish Intestine Soup
    Les Z.

    I wouldn't come back as the food is really mid. I guess it's popular because there isn't Korean food nearby in the neighborhood. The seafood pancake is oily and plain. The sauce that came with it is overly salty. The shrimps in the fish intestine soup is previously frozen, smell really funky. And they're tiny. I could've gotten better shrimps at Safeway. Don't come here, go to Daly City or South Bay for better and cheaper Korean food.

    Beef Kimchi Fried Rice / 김치볶음밥
    Violet Y.

    One of my favorite Korean spots to eat in the city! The kimchi seafood pancake, beef kimchi fried rice, and spicy chicken wings are my favorites. The chicken wings are well-seasoned, always crispy, and juicy. The pancake has crispy edges and is thin. Their army stew is also really good and hearty. The food pairs well with their soju cocktails. They can get busy but it's worth the wait. It's a cozy late night spot with delicious Korean food.

    I called ahead to see if there were any vegan options and I wanted to order the japchae. My boyfriend and I got there a half hour later and the server, who was the man who picked up the phone, immediately told me "I already told the kitchen to start on your vegan japchae. It was absolutely flavorful. I loved the food so much and my boyfriend loved the whole fried chicken and fish pancake It was so much flavor Boyfriend says the seafood pancake was not salty all delicious different sea creatures and worth it. I love the cute booth, the privacy, the ambience, great K-pop music too. Highly recommend this restaurant for a date night and 5 stars to our server Alex who was personable and kind

The crispy chicken was recommended by the server and it truly did not disappoint. The chicken was crisp and juicy and the noodles were cooked perfectly. For drinks we got the Thai iced tea, butterfly lychee fizz, and the coconut milk latte. I got the Thai ice tea less sweet and it was perfect for me ( I usually don't like it super sweet). The butterfly lychee fizz was very refreshing (could be less sweet for me) and the coffee was also very good!

In my opinion Lapisara ranks in the middle due to the other excellent options available. Seated immediately--had a reso but on a Wednesday morning not really necessary. It took a long time for the single employee to get to us but we weren't in a hurry. Cappuccino was very good in a cute "bear mug" and very reasonably priced. We shared a pacific omlet--not much crab, lots of shrimp, and nice swiss cheese/scallions but tasted kind of fishy--potatoes were only avg. Son said huevos rancheros were average. Price point good for SF and portions adequate to share. Location convenient so we will try dinner there tonight before a comedy show nearby. Dinner-5++ stars; 4 of us Had dinner last night-6pm-reso but not needed. only one other group dining. Single Waitress was great-we let her know we needed to leave in about an hour for a show and she timed everything perfectly--we even had time for dessert. we ordered so many items that she brought over an extra table--we shared everything family style. Most Yelp reviews only mention brunch but the dinner was awesome--service; food: taste/quality, presentation, portions, prices we phenomenally low for SF ($200 with a bottle of wine for 4 people). We started with the garlic butter clams-small but tasty. Tuna tartar was excellent quality and enough to share. Samosas were more like empanadas--very good with peanut sauce so good it rivaled my own home made. We continued our culinary adventure with crab fried rice-delicious, a large portion and my son who lives in SF and has tried dozens of crab fried rice ranked it in the top tier. The pacific catch rice noodles with crab was also excellent-big portion, lots of crab, tasty. Final entree was their specialty-Mussaman Curry. Wow, tender meat/potatoe "stew" with a very unique flavor from the star anise/cinnamon and peanut--to die for. Creme Brulee was very good with lots of fresh fruit accompaniment My only complaint was a very limited wine selection. Lapisaia will become one of our regular spots for dinner!!!

Some of the coffees came in bear-shaped glasses, and some of the lattes had a decorative bear made out of ice.

Today was the day where their reviews became a reality. The deviled eggs paired with the chili sauce was an exquisite compliment. And the lemon ricotta pancake! Such a great treat. If you want to impress your family or friends, bring them here.

    If you're looking for the quintessential SF brunch, Plow is it. Tucked away on a quiet corner in…read morePotrero Hill, it has all the charm of a neighborhood diner without the downtown chaos. The residential setting is part of the appeal - you can actually spread out, and it's a lovely area to wander while you wait for a table (and you will wait, so plan for it). The outdoor seating is the way to go. Indoor feels cramped. On cooler mornings they'll even hand you a blanket. Sitting outside on that peaceful corner watching the neighborhood wake up is a charming experience. Only downside of dining al fresco: a fly landed on my sausage. But credit to the staff - the waiter noticed and brought out a fresh plate without me even having to ask. That kind of attentive service goes a long way. The food lives up to the hype. The lemon ricotta pancakes are the star for good reason. They were light, fluffy, and not too sweet. The crispy potatoes were excellent too, just be warned they come out scorching hot (I burned the roof of my mouth going in too eager). Give them a minute to cool. Upside of parking on the top of that steep hill is that you'll burn off your breakfast calories getting back to your car.
