The 15 Most Fun Dinner Spots In San Francisco - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"The lack of a Koreatown in SF doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t find banchan or mandu worth planning your week around. Case in point: San Ho Won. Every dish at the contemporary Korean restaurant in the Mission is a masterpiece, from the housemade tteok in a sweet maple soy glaze to the melt-in-your-mouth galbi that will make you seriously question everything you thought you knew about beef. Going big here means opting for the house menu ($118), which will fill your table up with a huge, family-style spread of eight dishes, each one more delicious than the next. Reservations are released 29 days in advance at 10am on Tock. They also accept a couple of walk-ins at 5pm when they open (we’ve seen people line up around 4:30pm). There’s no waitlist, so if you don’t make it into the one or two available tables, come back around 9pm when tables start to free up." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
