Suragan, One of San Francisco’s Michelin Guide-Listed Korean Restaurants, Will Close - Eater SF

"Suragan, the acclaimed, Michelin Guide-recognized restaurant led by chef Jongmoon Choi, announced via Instagram that it will temporarily close as of Saturday, August 19. The restaurant is leaving its current home at 250 Hyde Street, and the post goes on to say Choi is “exploring a new opportunity at a new location, with the aim of eventually continuing his own concept, ‘SuraGan.’” No other details about the closure were given. It’s a surprising move given that the restaurant opened just eight months ago in December 2022. Since that time, Choi has received numerous accolades for his cooking at the restaurant, which showcases an inventive menu that translates historical Korean cookbooks and texts into modern-day fine dining. The restaurant was added to the Michelin Guide in May 2023 and received a favorable review from San Francisco Chronicle associate restaurant critic Cesar Hernandez." - Dianne de Guzman
