Foxsister

Great happy hour deal! Very unassuming storefront. Can easily miss it if not paying attention. Bar seatings turn around quickly. Soju smoothies are delicious. Get their fried chicken wings. You won't regret it. O.G. is furikake fried. So yum!! Their baby back ribs were fall off the bone delicious. Pork belly steamed bun"mi" was twist. Can't wait to go back to try the rest of the menu. Their foxfood salad and Kim chi fried rice seemed like great option as well. Need to bring stomach space next time.

We had the wings (og & sweet + spicy), octopus & pork bulgogi - all so delicious. The interior design is super fun & creative. The music was perfect. Our waitress was incredibly sweet. Can’t wait to go back!

Very fun and different! Great place for brunch or dinner. The food is different and smartly combines different flavors and textures.

My friends and I went for brunch on a Saturday for Benedict where they specialize on fusion Benedicts. I had a bit of the following: Muir Woods (delicious mushrooms and carmelized onions on gluten free), Foxsister (Korean fried chicken - a tinge of sweetness with scallions that was probably my favorite), the bao (crispy pork belly on Chinese bao), and the Mission (pictured - al pastor which was basically spicy Korean pork - tasty but nothing to phone home about). Though food was good, service was sloooooooow. Can’t imagine why it would take nearly an hour to get our orders.

Fun time at Happy Hour at the bar! Happy Hour food was sooo good! But thought the place was too dark - difficult to see our food!!!

As a person who was born/raised in Korea, I feel insulted by this place. I came to Foxsister with high hopes, since the Mission doesn't have any places that satisfy my Korean cravings. This place does have potential, so I hope the restaurant owners read and learn from my criticism. I ordered the "Hellfire" stew and the "sweet and spicy" fried chicken, and I have a few points to make: 1.) Decoration/ambiance: people come to a restaurant for the food, not for the aesthetic. It seems like the restaurant owners spent a large effort on just that - which, on an artistic level, is nice - but ultimately doesn't make or break the experience on any meaningful way. That effort could've been better spent on improving the recipe, for example. But maybe that's what SF hipsters want, after all. 2.) Food: the "sweet and spicy" fried chicken was an embarrassment to Korean cuisine. I apologize for sounding harsh, but the sauce recipe was absolutely lazy - it tasted like gochujang with a bit of honey...is that really it? The marinade is supposed to be complex in flavor, not one-dimensional. It's supposed to be sweet, tangy, and spicy - not taste just like gochujang. If I wanted to put gochujang on fried chicken, I could buy some Safeway chicken and do it myself. I recommend the chef take a trip down to LA and learn from the best restaurants there. The "Hellfire" stew wasn't much better. Ok, it wasn't terrible, but tasted more like cafeteria stew than something you'd order at a restaurant. You're supposed to use more "fermented" kimchi as the base and firmer tofu. The stew came out way too sweet and was also rather one-dimensional. 3.) Price: this was the real kicker for me. At $14, the fried chicken was completely overpriced - for 6 pieces of chicken? I understand that this is the Mission (with high rent/labor costs), but that's just ridiculous. Similarly, the Hellfire stew cost $14, but to add an egg it was $2...and rice cost $3. The rice doesn't come with the stew? Come on! That's a total rip-off. You might get non-Koreans with that, but you will anger a lot of Koreans with that pricing strategy. I love Korean food, and it is very dear to my heart. I hope you'll fix some of the issues I've mentioned - I'm willing to give it a try if you do.

Some of the best Korean Fried Chicken I've ever had! Don't neglect the other dishes, though. The dumplings were killer, and the pork belly lettuce wraps were super flavorful. The atmosphere is fun and laid back, and the service is kind and attentive. I can't wait to go back and try more!

This is a great restaurant for stylishly prepared, modern Korean food. The kimchi is fantastic. We also enjoyed the chicken wings and the ribs with lettuce wraps. Don't miss the custard dessert with tapioca balls and pine nuts. Truly unique. The Korean vodka slushy drinks were so delicious. The atmosphere is fun with great music and cheerful staff. Street parking was easy to find and the BART station is near by. Will definitely be a repeat customer.
