Charcoal grills fire delicious Korean BBQ feasts with endless banchan
"Brothers Restaurant is loud, smoky, and a full-blown meat party. The hazy Korean BBQ spot in the Richmond is always packed with groups huddled around tabletop charcoal grills, flipping juicy strips of bulgogi, and passing japchae in between swigs of Cass. It’s ideal for a birthday dinner that’s the opposite of stuffy, and the bill won’t make you want to hibernate for a week either. Just roll up with your group, let your friend do the grilling for you (it is your birthday, after all), and make your way through a few mountains of well-marinated meat." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
"Brothers is a Korean BBQ spot in the Richmond that uses charcoal grills rather than gas, and the smokiness comes through in every bite of just-sweet-enough bulgogi, marinated spicy pork, and boneless galbi. Just make sure to also save room on the table for piles of endless excellent banchan and japchae. Hood fans fire at full force, and meat sizzles as a constant backtrack, overlaid by the sounds of birthday celebrations and group catch-ups over peach soju and Cass—it’s controlled chaos, and we love it." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"At Brothers Restaurant in the Richmond, the grills use real charcoal rather than gas—and the difference shows. Every strip of meat, whether it’s the spicy pork or the juicy bulgogi, picks up an impressive smoky quality in the short timespan between hitting the grill and hitting your mouth. We like to order a la carte, but if you’re out of decision-making capabilities for the day, you can go for the menus that are portioned out in two-, four-, or six-person sets. We also love this spot for the excellent endless banchan and the fact that other menu items, from heaps of japchae to bubbling soondubu, are also worth your time." - julia chen 1, lani conway
"Put your phone on Do Not Disturb at Brothers—this Korean BBQ spot in the Richmond is an escape after your dumpster fire of a workday. Give yourself over to the haze of charcoal smoke, and let Excel functions fade from your brain. Don’t worry, you’re safe from circle-back emails and passive aggressive Slacks here. It’s just you and a charred pile of bulgogi." - julia chen 1
"Brothers is a Korean BBQ spot that’ll encourage you to turn your phone face-down, pour yourself a frosty glass of Cass, and spend the night working through mounds of well-marinated meats. The Richmond spot is controlled chaos—the hood fans fire all night, there’s a smoky haze throughout the dining room thanks to the glowing charcoal grills, and groups of all ages toast while flipping bulgogi and spicy pork. Focus your attention on the table full of banchan and meat, and enjoy not checking your notifications for the next two hours." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
