🇺🇸 BEST Korean Food in SF – And They Give FREE Stew! 😱

Hands down the BEST Korean meal I’ve had since coming to the US. Every single thing—from the banchan to the mains—was incredible. You really can’t go wrong here. Huge portions, amazing flavors, and they even gave us a FREE tofu stew! 🥘 It’s only a 6-minute 🚗 ride from the Legion of Honor. Perfect after a museum visit! The banchan spread is insane—9 different kinds!! 🙌 Spicy radish: perfectly pickled Lotus root salad: so refreshing, very Chinese-palate friendly Acorn jelly: light and delicious We were so hungry we finished a third of the banchan before even ordering lol 🏃♀️💨 🔥 MUST-ORDER: 🍖 Gal-bi-jjim (Braised Short Rib) Fall-off-the-bone tender, slightly sweet from carrots, loaded with chewy rice cakes. ⚠️ Takes a while to cook—so order something else while you wait! 🥬 Japchae (Stir-fried Glass Noodles) A surprise highlight! Wok hei for days—glass noodles, mushrooms, beef… all glazed in a savory-sweet sauce. 🍚 Pro tip: Mix it with bibimbap! The combo of warm rice, crispy veggies, savory noodles + gochujang is LIFE-CHANGING. Explosion of flavors 💥 ❤️ FREE Soon Tofu Soup Came with our bibimbap (get the stone pot version for that sizzle!). Full-sized, loaded with beef, totally authentic. Unbelievably… it was complimentary. alternating a spoonful of soup with a bite of rice and noodles = PURE BLISS. 👩‍🎓 Perfect for students, dates, or whenever you need a hug in food form. No wonder I’m already planning my next visit... #SanFranciscoEats #KoreanFoodSF #SFFoodFinder #HiddenGem #ComfortFood #BayAreaEats #FreeFoodAlert #MustTrySF
