“When I came to the United States and got tired of eating hamburgers and other Western-style food, I had no choice but to eat tofu pot to satisfy my craving for white rice. This Mom's Tofu is very close to the hotel, within walking distance, and there is good parking nearby. Shopping and drinking coffee can be arranged nearby, which is very convenient. After eating the tofu hotpot for two days in a row, I feel that the taste is not much different. In California, the soft tofu hotpot is usually meat + tofu hotpot + small dishes. It is similar to Taiwan, the taste is not too spicy, and the price is higher than the previous day. Food is more expensive in Los Angeles.“
“Food, service, atmosphere all satisfactoryOrdered Jjajangmyeon, Jjambbong, sweet and sour pork, walnut shrimp, and fried dumplings.Everything was delicious and the portions were plentiful.The owner was really friendlyBe sure to find parking on the nearby streets, and be sure to bring your luggage with you to avoid getting lost!“
“Love this spot! The service is very welcoming and friendly, and the food tastes like a Korean home cooked meal. They don't mess around with flavor here!I would say everything on the menu is a must try, but my favorites are the Hangover Soup, Fried Chicken w/ Yuzu Sauce, and Corn Cheese (addicting).An honorable mention would be the stuffed mushrooms.Lastly, the restaurant is a fun vibe with great music. They have an event almost every week so check out their IG for a party!“
“Well, how do you do! What a fantastic foodie find. Small shop that packs enormous flavor.Their kimchi fried is great with onions, kimchi & tiny squares of tofu that is seasoned to perfection. Jap chae with slivers of carrots, green onions and yellow onions.That galbi was a show stopper, grilled before my very eyes, lightly sauced tender to the touch it separated from the bone every so easily. The small portion of kimchi that's included is not enough. You can thankfully purchase a mason jar of kimchi. The portion sizes are fat kid pleasing.Go in pairs parking is terrible.They take cards“
“I've tried the Daeho in japantown SF and I've had the Daeho in San Jose...but I feel like this Daeho tastes the best??? I'm not sure if it's the meat quality, portion sizes, flavor or what but this is my favorite location out of all the Bay Area locations.Daeho specializes in galbi-jjim, which is Korean braised beef short ribs in the most delicious sauce. You MUST get the cheese on top because they torch it at your table and it makes for a great IG story haha. I also like to get rice cakes in it. The large size can feed a table of four.The spice level is kind of inconsistent among the chains or even on certain days. I usually get spicy and I thought it wasn't spicy, during my most recent trip. (Maybe my spice tolerance went up? Maybe the chef just made it less spicy?) If you're unsure what spice level you are, I would err on the side of less spicy because you can always add spicy to it later.Aside from the beautiful galbi-jjim, I think everything else on the menu is pretty good. I like to pair my galbi-jjim order with a cold noodle to offset the heat. I think the soups here are so good. Their galbi-tang (short rib soup) is perfect on a cold day.“
“This is my favorite shop in H Mart food hall. They have good quality of traditional Korean Beef Rib Soup and Bone Soup. First time ordered beef rib soup noodle and noodle it’s chewy and taste better than ramen. Soup base has beef bone aroma too. Highly “
“I can’t believe I haven’t been here yet and I’ve passed this restaurant about a million times. For a native San Franciscan (40 year resident), something affordable without compromising the flavors and the service is a welcome deal! I’m definitely coming back here. Thanks to my professor and friend from SF State for treating me here.“
“It’s great to have this Korean option in San Bruno. Water is self service with tiny cups. There were only 6 bonchon dishes. Some restaurants have 10. Food was otherwise pretty good including Spicy Squid. Service was perfunctory. For the pancake, they don’t cut it for you, but leave you a butter knife.“
“All the best ingredients. A vast Asian market with all the good finds. Frozen foods, dried foods, fresh seafood, hot take out. This place has it all. Great for small snacks or all the staples. Asian + American products. Ample parking, even on busy days, speedy lines.“
“This is a place to go for good comfort food.The popularity of K-Grill has definitely grown. And well-deserved.The place is either packed or have a line of people during the normal lunch and dinner hour. It’s easier to get a table outside of the normal meal hours.The staff are friendly and nice, albeit a bit brusque because they are so busy. So they are super efficient too.Banchan and tea/water graces the table very quickly after an order is place. And everything that comes from this kitchen is delicious! The is the only K-restaurant where banchan includes a whole croaker for everyone.If I describe every dish, it would be a superlative on everything. I don’t think one can go wrong with anything on the menu. Just go with whatever category you feel like and a delicious meal will appear.Save a bit of the crunchy rice in the original rice container. Before the end of your meal, ask to have some hot tea added and enjoy it with any remaining banchan.“
“I’m a truck driver, just delivering in the area, this place was recommended to me by the owner who I was delivering to. Now I’m from the east coast, and those burgers hit home for me. 10/10 recommend !! The best burger I’ve had in a while. Service was amazing, nice friendly guy. Served in like 3 mins. Amazing“
“We tried Da Pan in the Hmart food court and decided to try the cheese katsu (because the picture looked very cheesy) and the bulgogi fried rice. The Cheese Katsu was good and came with a side of miso soup, rice, salad and kimchi. Unfortunately the cheese was only on the top layer and not all around like the picture. So the bottom was missing cheese. The katsu was crispy and cheese had a nice pull. The Bulgogi fried rice was very tasty. This one came with a side of miso soup and kimchi only. The rice didn't crisp up when I mixed it around the pot, but overall the flavor was good.“
“We were in as a group of six and treated our friends who have been amazing helping us move to our new condo nearby and puppy sitting the past half year.We had enough people to make a reservation so waiting was minimal despite the weekend.The atmosphere was on the loud side, music and TV wise so not a lot of conversation (but how much taking when there’s SO much food anyways, I guess?). The variety was pretty good; a nice mix of fresh veggies, decent meat and seafood and lots of fun bits like wok fried peanuts and sesame balls to round out the usual sauces and fruit. The service was good, we got our orders in and everything arrived pretty fast.We did get stuck on a table without the conveyer belts so we didn’t exactly get the immediate satisfaction of grabbing what caught our eye but it was fine as a one off.“
“I recently had lunch at Bay Pocha in San Francisco and it was a fantastic experience. I ordered the Galbi and Soft Tofu Soup. The Galbi was just amazing – it was tender, marinated perfectly, and cooked just right. It’s clear they use high-quality ingredients. The Soft Tofu Soup was the perfect comfort food, with a rich, savory broth that was both hearty and flavorful.The atmosphere of the place added to the dining experience. It was cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot for both friends and family. Service was also top-notch. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive.I'm definitely coming back and would recommend Bay Pocha to anyone looking for delicious Korean food in SF. It’s a gem that’s worth checking out!“
“Mandoo is the bomb.. there is not alot of seating so make sure to secure a seat before you order! The jajang rice is what we got. The sauce was not alot tbh, but the egg on top made it just fine!! They give you extra soup to enjoy the food even better!!!“
“Wow, what a hidden gem! I recently visited Jar Jang Geum Tofu House and was blown away by the delicious and varied menu options.First, the Bulgogi (thinly sliced marinated beef) was cooked to perfection - tender and flavorful. The short ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and richly flavored. The fried chicken wings were crispy and spicy, just the way I like them. But the real standout was the Bimbimp Bap with beef in a Hot stone Bowl - the beef was tender and the rice was cooked to a perfect crisp on the bottom. And the Tofu Soup was creamy and comforting. Each dish was expertly prepared and presented. Highly recommend this restaurant for a taste of Korea in Daly City.“
“Came here with a large group of friends so I didn't get the experience the conveyer belt. Nonetheless the selection was great and everything was tasty. The service was attentive and checked on us often. Will need to return to experience the conveyer belt soo.“
“Looking for Korean places in the neighborhood and was delighted to find this gem! They are super accommodating and made several dishes vegan for us. I really appreciated them asking about food allergies as well. Rice cakes, soft tofu soup, and bibimbap were all stellar. Highly recommend!!Vegetarian options: Chefs were very accommodating and happy to modify dishes and make them without fish/meat/eggs“
“Best Korean BBQ restaurant in SSF! There are no grills for you to cook your own, but the meat based dishes are very full flavoured. Service request is with a bell installed at each table (love it). The ambient is well lit. Larger party friendly. Kpop videos playing on the screens. All that is expected in the best ways.Vegetarian options: There isn't much purely vegetarian dishes. If you are ok with meat mashed soup with vegetarian 'toppers' then you'll be fine with tofu soups, fried tofu, etc. Ban chans are veggies based.“

“Don't know what to eat, but want a quick and delicious meal?Paik's Noodle is such a solid option. Food is good. Portions are generous. My favorite would have to be their classic Jajangmyeon/Black Bean Noodle. The noodles are nice and QQ. The sauce is well seasoned and flavorful. It has a unique flavor from the fried black bean paste. Generous sauce portion too. I always have leftovers and add it on a bed of hot rice the next day. Love that they give you a side of pickled radish as a palate cleanser. Their jjampong and tangsuyuk is pretty good too.Staff are nice. Food comes out pretty quickly. Only thing to keep in mind is that the food court can get really busy during peak times making it hard to find a seat. Overall, 4/5.“
“Got the tofu soup with beef, came with rice and some sides. Cooked to order and really good and fresh. The lady was very nice and accommodated my friend who is a vegetarian by making her ramen soup with vegetable broth. Amazing customer service and price is good. Looks like a dive but kitchen is cleaned and the food is good. Will come back and try spicy pork with ramen“
“The galbi jjim here is amazing! It's pretty pricey, but I don't mind because the food here is really good and I don't come too often. There're a ton of different things you can try. I like the modern atmosphere and I love how cute the menus are. They're like little gates that open up and welcome you in. Be careful if you don't like spicy food, though. The spice tolerance required for mild is already pretty high.“
