A small neighborhood business located on the SW corner of 5th Avenue and Balboa in the Richmond District. Driven by many times and decided to grab the lunch special. Two lunch combos: 1) spicy pork and tofu soup, and 2) bulgogi and tofu soup. I ordered about 1pm and it was ready quick - within 10 mins. Flavor for both were decent although the bulgogi could have used some more flavoring. Although I got it to go, the tofu soup was still piping hot by the time I got it back to work and ate it! I like my soup hot so that was a bonus for me. With they could have given us a little more baan chaan on the sides because there nice and fresh. The veggies were full of crunch and I liked their kim chi. Next time because their veggies were so good I’m going to try the bibimbap!
Hands down our favorite Korean home cooking style restaurant in SF. Food is always on point, service is warm and friendly, restaurant is well kept and clean, + price is reasonable. It doesn’t get better than this.
UPDATE 7/2022: They recently renovated the whole place so it's now got a more modern aesthetic. They also raised the price of their menu items but I still find the food to be worth it!A quaint little neighborhood restaurant with a very homey and cozy atmosphere. It's usually empty when I go there in the evenings, but it gets pretty packed on holidays and weekends. They have a descriptive and illustrated menu. Good food with generous portions and complimentary sides. Service is really good. Seated and served water right away. Wait time after ordering is usually around 5-10 mins, 5 mins for the side dishes and not much longer for the main. Great place, been here several times for dinner.
delicious! the side dishes were my favorite
I love this Restaurant! They treat you like family and their food is amazing! The meat on the grill was perfection!
Walked in and were immediately greeted and offered a table and menus. A few seconds later we were offered some hot tea. Ordered the seafood pancake, bean paste soup with tofu and vegetables and Bibimbap. First came the amazing assortment of banchan and then our food. They also brought out some pan fried tofu on the house. The flavors were all very good, although no one dish really stood out. The pancake was a little greasy but still tasty. The service remained very good throughout the meal and we managed to eat almost everything. Eve thing plus a sake was $70 with tip and tax for 2 people. Not cheap but we did take some food home and it was probably enough for for 3 people. We won’t be in a rush to return but would recommend if you are looking for solid Korean food.
Easily my favorite Korean restaurant in San Francisco. The servers are always really nice. The lunch combination with tofu soup really can’t be beat. I really hope they are around for years to come.
Came here for lunch with some family on a Saturday afternoon. Parking was a bit rough, but we eventually found a spot. The restaurant was unassuming from outside and had a few people dining inside. We ordered the hot stone bibimbap, spicy cold noodles, and seafood pancake. The waitress was very nice and even gave us a tofu soup on the house!! We had never tried spicy cold noodles and they were very tasty! The noodles were a bit difficult to bite through, but it was a great dish to try. The seafood pancake was huge and had a lot of fillings. The bibimbap was also really tasty. The tofu soup was also really good and I would probably order it for my next visit. I loved this little restaurant and plan to come again.
The Dolsott Bibimbap (#45) was so good- my top recommendation for a first time visitor. Appetizers were all fantastic, and they brought a complimentary item to the table. The one waitress was working really fast and efficiently to serve the entire restaurant as well as delivery orders, but we could have eaten much faster by reading the menu ahead of time and ordering as soon as we got in.
This place is amazing, easily one of my favorite Korean places in the city. They’re very welcoming and very nice!
