Tofu and BBQ House — Restaurant in Daly City

I always eat korean food because I am a traditional Korean at heart. I have dined at every korean restaurants in Dallas, TX and I was visiting SF and this restaurant because some of the other korean restaurants in SF were closed on Tuesday I find odd time to be closed during the business week!

This restaurant has NO environment just a building that serves korean food. The question is, was it good??? I say IT IS NOT the best korean restaurant in SaF that I’ve tried.

I’ve tried Wooden Charcoal Korean Village BBQ in SF is one of the tastiest and I really enjoyed their concept of charcoal bbq. One thing to keep in mind is that the charcoal gets VERY HOT so be careful while grilling your meats.

I live in Dallas, TX and the VERY BEST TRADITIONAL KOREAN RESTAURANTS are in Dallas, TX!!!!!

In Dallas they have ALL YOU CAN EAT KOREAN BBQ!!!!!!! Heaven on earth!! And in Dallas they do not charge you extra if you request for more rice and more sides like they do in San...

Honestly, I’m a fan. Let’s just start by saying we had a smalllll wait time (less than 5 mins) during a crazy brunch rush on Sunday. BUT the waitstaff of two were hustling. And there were a lot of tables. And ppl waiting after us.

They used to have this amazing seafood noodle soup dish I was obsessed with, but it’s probably for the better that I don’t binge eat on ALL those carbs. Mmm carbs. Okay, back to the point. Seafood soondubu it was. Solid, solid choice. Especially for a NorCal location. Is it better than SoCals spots? Hell no. Is it fresh ingredients and decently priced Korean in the Bay? Yeah, sure. I mean it’s sitting inside of a grocery store, after all. Sooo it better be fresh (it was btw).

Despite the busy staff, the waitress was hustling. And that’s all you can really ask for. She did it all with a good attitude. And came by as frequently as she could, when we had requests. I can appreciate the effort...

Located inside Kukje (or colloquially called K Mart), I ate here with family recently, and I can't say it was that good. Most of the stuff was on the bland side.

We had a tofu soup and galbi tang, and both were really flavorless. They both were devoid of salt, so adding some would be a good start. I can't really offer more suggestions until the basic seasonings are addressed.

The bibimbap's stone pot wasn't hot enough so the layer of crispy rice didn't form. The egg on top was also overcooked so the yolk wasn't runny. Sadness all around.

If you find yourself eating here, the grilled meats are always a safe choice. It doesn't stand out from other Korean restaurants, and it's not really cheap or anything either, but their Korean BBQ is probably the best thing on the menu.

Overall, I think there are many other better choices for Korean...
