It’s average to LA Ktown’s standard. But pretty good for Bay Area I guess:)
Have tried to eat hereon every visit to SF since first introduced to restaurant by Korean coworker in 2000. Always amazing. They currently have outdoor seating available as well as indoor. Ordered the sampler dinnerfor 2 with Bulgogi (sp?) Beef, Spicy Pork, and a spicy Tofu soup. The array of side dishes were perfect. Everything including the kimchee, spicy pork, and spicy tofu soup had the perfect amount of heat to enjoy the flavors without excessive chili heat. Small dried fish, slightly sweet tofu sheets, nori, a fish/chile paste, fresh cucumber, lettuce leaves, and white rice for sides. We ended up asking for a refill on all the side dishes even though we were pretty full. Just too good not eat more. . The natural charcoal used to cook the meat was fantastic. You get to keep enjoying it all night on your hair and clothes until you wash them. (Actually I think table ventilation has been upgraded considerably since I first started coming). The spicy pork had a scary amount of chili paste on it but after cooking the spice level was just perfect and got a little sweetness from carmelization. Service was fantastic. We were immediately served tea and consulted on menu. The beer came within minutes, as did the charcoal and side dishes. I can't wait to go back.
Wonderful authentic Korean restaurant. It is Korean BBQ but please do not visit and expect it to be an "All You Can Eat" at an AYCE price. You can choose items to bbq a la carte like Bulgogi or Spicy Pork or Chicken. Also a la carte items with favorites like spicy tofu soup and Japchae. Pricier than AYCE KBBQ restaurants but the food authentically delicious.They still had their parklet open for seating. Although it was cold on Valentine's Day, we chose to sit outside. They had a propane heater by the table and the table bbq also kept you warm. It was really wood charcoal! We really couldn't decide what to order, so when the server came, I asked if it would be weird if we ordered the 4- person dinner for two people. ? He said "no" but that it was a lot of food : it contained Bulgogi, galbi, spicy pork (or Chicken, but we chose pork), Japchae and spicy tofu soup. We also ordered the Korean Cheese Corn but for some reason we didnt get it, but we didn't remember we never got it until after we left. We were so full because we ate everything! The 4-person dinner also came with assorted banchan, steamed rice and lettuce leaves. We were in love with the giant bowl of spicy tofu soup. We ate it all, washed it down with a big bottle of Cass beer, and barley tea.If you are looking for an authentic Korean restaurant, don't hesitate to try Brothers.

The best charcoal BBQ place in this area.
This meal was such an incredible experience. It was authentic Korean food and we had a lot of fun cooking it ourselves and creating different food combinations.
This places’ meat is so perfect!And the various menus and you can choose.
One of the best Korean BBQ restaurants in SF. Delicious! The wood fire used at your table is much better than gas and adds flavor. Service is fast and friendly. I could eat the japche noodles and spicy bbq pork forever!
Old school Korean place. Only place in SF that you can get meat jun (bulgogi jun) which is a Hawaiian Korean speciality. Imagine a super savory beef pancake. Thick egg batter and good slice of meat. Amazing service and we got a complimentary tofu soup due to the cold.Def coming back here again!
