"The Namu Restaurant Group has permanently closed its original location on the northeast corner of Dolores Park. Chef Dennis Lee confirmed for Eater SF on Tuesday that due to an unresolved landlord conflict, the last day of service was Monday, August 2. Namu Gaji first opened at this prime location in Mission Dolores in 2012 and was instantly popular, serving creative and original Californian slash Korean fare. Over the years, it earned recurring spots on lists of the hottest restaurants and essential restaurants in SF. Lee pulled Californian ingredients from the restaurant’s own farm and treated them from the perspective of his Korean heritage." - Becky Duffett
