The 16 Best Korean Restaurants In SF

"At Bansang, a restaurant by the Daeho people, traditional Korean flavors are jazzed up with modern twists in the form of exciting small plates. You’ll see rice cakes served in a creamy gochujang tomato sauce, charred romaine salads with tender bulgogi resting on top, and thick galbi that’s plated like it’s the centerpiece of a modern art exhibit. Eating it all in a space that looks like a wood cabin mixed with a boutique hotel lobby is a great way to punch up Friday night dates, or dinners that hit the sweet spot between laid-back and fancy." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
