The Best Ramen Restaurants in San Francisco | Eater SF

"Unlike the other spots on this list, this popular Richmond District izakaya-like spot is actually a Korean fusion restaurant rather than a place that purports to serve purely Japanese food. But instead of serving Korean-style ramyun (with or without American cheese), Jijime dishes out a quite solid rendition of a creamy tonkotsu-style broth, available in several versions — spiked with black garlic, for instance, or loaded with bite-size gyoza. The restaurant also features a spicy tofu or kimchi stew, if you’re looking for a soup off the Korean side of the menu." - Dianne de Guzman

Bibimbap flavor was good, though spicy pork was not very spicy. Also, it could have been more food for the price. No free small plates like in other Korean restaurants, so an order of kimchi was extra. However, that maybe just for barbeque places which they don't have.

A must stop place to eat in San Francisco! Had the chicken with honey crust and seafood ramen. Was a perfect meal on a cool day! The flavors were absolutely stunning! So glad we stopped here!

I tried this restaurant last night with a friend that had been there before and I liked it a lot! It’s small but cozy, with very kind and attentive staff. The food and the jasmine tea were delicious! I especially loved the appetizer with cheesy corn! 👌🏼

Came in for a Friday lunch a little bit after opening, I was the only person in there. Decent food, good service. Bibimbap was good, would try other dishes if I am in the area again.

It was just... fine — the service was nice, but nothing we ate wowed us. Don't get the Bimbibab; for $22, it's a shallow bowl of piddling rice and meat. Chicken jjim is better, but $3 for extra thin layer cheese feels dramatic.

Yum! Yum! Yum! Yum! Yum! Everything is so delicious here and the service is always so wonderful. I only know Do by name, but all the servers make you feel at home. They're all so kind and attentive. The restaurant is informal and charming. So, that's why we visit Jijime repeatedly. The food is consistently delicious and we know what we're going to get every time. Okay, I will admit. I am a creature of habit and only order the tonkatsu spicy ramen with corn. That along with the honey butter chicken appetizer and a side salad is my go to meal all the time and every time. But, since we just returned from being in Japan for two weeks, I was ramened out. So, I went with the bulgogi bibimbap. Let the cast iron dish sit a little longer so the rice gets crispier is key. Wowwwwwweeeee! Mix it up, add some Korean magic sauce and you got one heck of a good tasty meal. So, this creature of habit now has two favorite dishes at Jijime. Until I get tired of having ramen and bibimbap, these will be my go to dishes with the honey butter chicken appetizer and side salad. Check it out. You will not be disappointed. P.S. - Again, I dig into the dishes before taking a photo, so there's a piece of chicken or two missing. Sorry. Bad habit.

Came on a Saturday for lunch around noonish. It was pretty empty when we arrived but quickly got busy within 30 minutes. We ordered the Okonomiyaki fries, popcorn salmon, and spicy boneless fries chicken. Food came out in about 15 minutes. Overall food review is 2/5. The restaurant is pretty small, so I could see how there can be a wait during busy hours -- personally not a place that would be worth the wait for me though. I've has this spot bookmarked for the longest time because I wanted to try the Okonomiyaki fries, and unfortunately they were a disappointment. Fries themselves were very mid; lack of crisp made them not a good vehicle for the sauce. Popcorn salmon portion is pretty tiny for the price, but I will say the salmon flavor is pretty strong for those that are looking for it. Chicken was probably the best part of the meal, but by no means was it really that great either. Literally no spice at all, texture was soggy from all the sauce, and just overall not that impressive for korean fried chicken.

We were told this is a good place for ramen. But... Bibimbap! And bulgogi! And homemade gojujang! The food is delicious! Also, the table next to us got the popcorn salmon - breaded and fried salmon nuggets - that looked delicious.

Popcorn salmon; never seen that anywhere. They use the fatty part of the salmon so in addition to the crunch you get the melt in mouth feel of salmon belly. Superior experience to popcorn chicken. Astute chef

Good: popcorn salmon, kuro ramen, sake jelly drink, grilled pork belly plate. The tofu soup was too salty and oddly sweet which wasn't our favorite. Portions are quite large for the price. I was a big fan of the black garlic ramen, but the pork belly in it was just okay (kind of tough; the grilled pork belly plate was much more tender). Quick service and very no frills; place was still pretty bustling late at night. Not too hard to get a seat without a reservation. Recommend the jelly sake drink! Very fun and unique (not at all like a jell-o shot like I expected)!

I ordered to go since it was my last stop in San Francisco! I got the soupless ramen and the pork! It was really good and the service was really nice! Will come back here again if I want to order to go again!

Love this place so much! I got the bibimbap and the corn cheese! The bibimbap is a huge portion for 18 dollars and you can pick how much sauce you want which is great if you cant deal with spice! The bulgogi was very flavorful! The cheesecorn was one of the best kinds ive had and it was 13 dollars which was more on the pricey side. There was plenty of seating and I went on a Sunday at 7pm. The food came out pretty fast and its a nice and cozy restaurant to sit in when its cold outside. It was hard to find parking but theres a parking lot for 1.50 for one hour.

The soy garlic boneless fried chicken was crispy and covered with sauce. It was more like chicken tenders. I would come back and try the spicy ones. The spicy chicken JJIM was also very flavorful. It had a bit too much sauce for my personal liking, but adding cheese balanced it out a bit. The chicken was juicy. The restaurant was pretty empty for a late lunch on a Saturday. The interior wooden walls and dim lights give it a cute little bar vibe. They also have happy hours!

Jijime is soooo good!! My sister and I stumbled upon it while on a walk around the neighborhood and I'm so glad we did! We shared a bulgogi bowl and the spicy jjim chicken (with cheese)! The portions were plentiful and the taste was so delicious. The service was fast and the servers were kind. The ambiance is casual but trendy. 10/10 meal and experience. I will definitely be coming back!

So... I am very very thorough in my reviewing and therefor I try very hard not to overhype when I think a restaurant is great. This place might be nearly impossible for me NOT to overhype because of how good every single last dish has turned out to be. Our first experience with Jijime was during a hankering I was having for some quality ramen, and that was last month. My partner and I each ordered a ramen dish plus an order of popcorn potstickers (which hooked me forever). The ramen was so much food, for me, that I couldn't possibly have finished it alone but it was EXACTLY what I wanted and tasted amazing. My partner completely finished his ramen and that's how I knew this place was going to become a regular spot for us. We almost exclusively do takeout and so the photo you'll see is just at home, but do not let the quaintness of my photo fool you... Tonight we ordered four appetizers instead of ramen, since it was just so much food for me last time, and the prices aren't low, however that's completely justified based on taste alone but also on quantity. I expected to like the popcorn potstickers, but I didn't expect to enjoy EVERY SINGLE DISH, which I did. The boneless chicken, which we got in a soy garlic sauce, was the highlight for sure.. it was crunchy and yet perfectly textured inside. Immaculate honestly. The pork buns were a first for me, incredible with cucumber. Literally every last bite was spectacular and I really truly MEAN that. When we order on the phone, the staff is polite and always puts our pickup time at 15 minutes, even on a Saturday at 7pm! Amazing. For just my partner and myself the meal has come to $70 both of the two times we have eaten here but I mean this when I say it, it is worth every single penny and I know it's on the pricier side. We will be returning as regulars, maybe only once a month because of the price but regulars nonetheless. Jijime you are a hidden gem in the Richmond and we will be loyal FOREVER.

Jijime | San Francisco 1. Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen with extra noodles -- rich and creamy pork broth, pork chashu, soft-boiled egg, green onions, kikurage mushroom, and bean sprouts 2. Soy Boneless Fried Chicken 3. Okonomiyaki Fries -- deep-fried potato fries topped with bonito flakes, nori seaweed, creamy mayo, and katsu sauce Jijime is a neighborhood Korean-Asian fusion spot located in San Francisco, California. They serve a wide variety of Asian dishes ranging from ramen and bibimbap to don bowls. The ambiance is cozy yet modern, with outdoor seating available if the weather allows. My friend and I went with the spicy tonkotsu ramen, soy boneless fried chicken, and Okonomiyaki fries. The food was good, but nothing over the top. If you're looking for a casual Asian restaurant, Jijime is a cool spot to check out!

A good place to gather and enjoy company and food. Not sure why they seated us next to each other when the restaurant was empty. They didnt the patrons out. Sometimes you get to hear conversations. Even when the table next to us left, new people were seated. To keep us warm? To see what people order? then you order? Food was good. Didn't know a friend didnt eat shrimp or else I wouldn't have ordered seafood bibimpap. Didnt have roasted rice on the bottom. No seafood pancake. No freebies like in old style korean restaurants. This is fusion with ramen on their menu.. Appetizers were the star. Crispy chicken with no bones. Cheesy corn. Tofu soup was good with bean sprouts on top with bowl of rice No bancha. No complimentary tea. Water. Great service. They were kind to let us stay till closing. They were polite not saying anything. Plenty of parking since it was a week day night.

All the yums! If you're ready to get your Asian fusion on, this is where you want to do it at! First off, the menu is filled with so many yummy sounding choices, you'll probably end up doing what we did, and that is ordering one of all of the different things that you wanna try. Just do what you want regret it! Boneless fried chicken/soy garlic: check! Generous pieces of chicken, made to the absolute perfection, seasoned incredibly well, and if it wasn't for all of the food that we had ordered, I'm pretty sure I would have finished this all on my own lol yes, it's that tasty. Corn cheese: check! I love a good Korean corn cheese, this one definitely fell short. Not something that I would order again. Beef Short ribs: check! Pretty pricey for the small portion, but definitely tasty! And I love the fact that there was more meat than fat or bones. So it definitely hit the taste sensation! Bibimbap bowl: all of the wows! This is a huge portion with a great variety of so many wonderful vegetables, flavors, just everything. In my book this is definitely shareable, but someone with a really hungry and healthy appetite definitely could finish this in one sitting. Absolutely tasty. The restaurant is incredibly clean, as is the restroom, so major bonus points. Customer Service is spot on. We were greeted by a friendly smile and seated, given menus and water right away. Our order was taken, and food was served hot and quickly. Perfect restaurant experience! A great experience, really good food, and definitely a place that we will be going back to!

Came on a windy sunny afternoon and it was exactly what I needed to go about my day. Loved the presentation off the bat and the flavors of the dishes suited each other. I don't know what crack sauce they put on the pork belly but it was so TASTY OH MY LORD Cute for a little brunch spot but better suited for dinner as the place is dimly lit

Food was delicious. Vibes are cute. Toasted sesame ramen was delicious must get toasted if you can. Star of the show was the sizzling bibimbap. Service was great as well. I'll be back.

Came in for dinner and really enjoyed the food overall. The short rib plate was delicious. The meat was super flavorful and tender, definitely one of the highlights. The fried chicken was another winner, perfectly crispy on the outside, and the sauce had a nice balance of sweet and salty that really brought it all together. The pork belly plate was also really good, with great flavor and seasoning, though it came out just warm instead of hot, which was a bit of a letdown considering how tasty it was. Service was okay but very slow, which took away from the experience a bit.

Cute little Korean fusion place in Outer Richmond. I think this spot is great for introducing Korean food to people, there's a handful of different authentic dishes represented (meats, soups, bibimbaps) and their fusion variations (bulgogi tacos/quesadillas for example). I liked the bulgogi tacos. Each order comes with 2 and they went ham with how much meat they put on the taco. The bulgogi was sweet and salty--the usual combination of flavour in Korean cuisine--but not too much. I really liked the chicken jjim. I did opt in for the 3 dollar extra cheese and they gave a lot of cheese. I low key wished I could pay like half of that for half of the cheese but that's just my preference. The chicken was super tender and stayed warm for a long time from the sizzling stone plate. I also got the spicy flavour and it was pretty true to what chicken dishes taste like in Korea :')

Was a bit let down by this place.. swung by here on a Saturday around 3 pm and was able to get a table for 6 without wait. We decided to get appetizers to share family style and individual entrees. For the appetizers, we tried: - Okonomiyaki Fries (5/5): Probably my favorite thing out of everything we tried. I liked the bonito flakes and mayo. Fries were similar texture to In-N-Out fries. - Tofu Nugget (1/5): Disappointing. The veggies and tofu didn't really pair well together. They gave a sauce that tasted like worcestershire sauce, which is not really an ideal pairing. - Chicken Karaage (4/5): Decent chicken karaage. Sauce provided pairs well. - Popcorn Salmon (3/5): Comes with a spicy mayo, which I think was the same sauce that the chicken karaage came with. Didn't really feel like the sauce paired as well with the salmon compared to the chicken. For my entree, I got the sizzling bibimbap with bulgolgi. It sure does come sizzling! The rice was nice and crispy... but that was the best part. They really overbuttered the dish to the point where the butter was the dominant flavor. The vegetables chosen were also a bit odd and not traditional bibimbap veggies. I just didn't really feel blown away eating this dish. Service was decent. When they brought out utensils, there was a pair of chopsticks that were dirty.. but they were quick to help us replace it.

Solid spot with good bibimbap - I liked the crunchy tofu in the sizzling pot - and with a lot of the sauce it's very tasty. The salmon nuggets were cooked well but lacked a bit of flavor. The corn cheese was yummy and creamy. We also got the fries but they lacked a bit of flavor to me as well. Overall, I enjoyed it and would consider coming back, but it's not my favorite Korean spot in the city. The space was cute though and not too busy or loud.

We came on a Tuesday evening and ordered: 1) Grilled pork belly plate-9/10. Based on other reviews, I asked for the sauce on the side and was very happy I did. The pork belly was seasoned well and tasted good simply with rice. I dipped a few pieces in the sauce and felt it was way too sweet. 2) Sizzling bibimbap plate with beef-7/10. There were too many "new things" in the bibimbap, like big chunks of zucchini, bell peppers and lettuce. These ingredients were not incorporated well and the dish was bland. I would not order again. Overall, the food was good but inconsistent. Portions were average and the price point was fair. One positive thing is that there was plenty of free street parking.

We had a reservation for 3 on a Sunday for a late lunch but it didn't seem necessary as it was quite empty inside. Our order: Korean Pear Juice ($4.00): +Not my order, but friend enjoyed it. Boneless Fried Chicken - Soy Garlic ($13.00): +Crispy exterior with juicy interior +Soy garlic glaze was savory and sweet +Large portion good for sharing Black Mussel Soup ($17.50): +Lots of black mussels +Cabbage and onions added crunch -Fish broth was salty and heavy on the pepper: We ended up leaving it behind. Sizzling Bibimbap - Soy Garlic Seafood ($24.99): +Rice was cooked well: Fluffy with crispy rice on the bottom +Plenty of crunchy bean sprouts and vegetables +Seasoned well -Small portion of seafood Side notes: 1.) Limited street parking *Verdict: Homey Asian fusion restaurant with friendly and efficient service. I'd like to come back with a group to try more of their menu!

Great service; comforting food on a cold day! The popcorn salmon was unique and a real hit! The chashu in the tonkotsu ramen was slightly tough. Would give this place a 3.75/5.

SERVICE - located in the Richmond district near Golden Gate Park - street parking only which was not too difficult to find on a Friday evening - ambiance good for a semi casual meal with friends - good service with food that was brought out fast - restroom available inside MENU - Korean Japanese fusion food - vegetarian and vegan options available - average price ($18 per entree) FOOD - veggie spicy tofu stew (8/10): soft tofu simmering a chili broth with veggies and green onions served with a side of rice. This was the better of the two dishes we ordered. It is a comfortingly warming meal perfect for a chilly day. The portion size is a quite generous and can be shared between 1-2 people. - sizzling fried tofu bibimbap (6/10): crispy rice, sautéed veggies, and fried tofu cubes served on a hot plate with a side of spicy pepper sauce. The tofu is so crispy it almost felt like eating croutons. It is a good sized portion to feed 1-2 people. I liked the flavor of the sauce but would have wanted it to be mixed into the dish because the drizzle on top did not fully coat all of the rice and tofu. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! The flavors were good and the ambiance was casual yet inviting.

This is a great, low-key spot with good food! It has lots of seating and friendly service so we have gone for a lot of casual dinners with friends. The inside has good lighting, a clean bathroom, and the music isn't too loud for a good convo. The menu includes both Korean and Japanese food. I can't speak to authenticity, but I have found the ramen to be good and an ample portion every time, and the apps are tasty and crave-worthy - we usually get the karaage (we are big protein people) and it's super crispy and not too heavy. My partner usually gets either the bibimbop or galbi and has enjoyed both. There's a sizzling bibimbop option if you are willing to pay a few extra dollars, that crispy rice is so good!

Jijime is cozy when it is not crowded. I was picking up piroshkis next door and noticed there were tables available. Last time, my table was right next to someone else's table and the back of my chair against another party. Tonight I had their sizzling Korean short ribs $24. This came with a small bowl of rice and a side salad. The food tasted fine and service was excellent.

This was a good spot coming back from north of San Francisco. It wasn't too crowded so we got seated immediately. They had very good hot tea which was great after a cold day. We got the soft tofu stew which was very different than any of the stews I've tried at other places. It had a lot of veggies which was good and the broth tasted different. The portion size was also good. We also tried the tofu nuggets which tasted like a very Japanese influenced dish, it was tasty. Overall a good experience, with many options.

As an asian fusion spot, I'm never really expecting anything spectacular or anything authentic. I came with a friend and we just got a quick bite of food here and I've been meaning to try this place. We started off with the soy garlic KFC and they were good. I liked the crispiness of the chicken and the flavors were good. And thankfully the chicken meat was tender. For my dish I ordered the black garlic ramen. It was okay. The broth was pretty good but you can of course tell the noodles are store-bought so it ain't fresh. The pork belly was a little bit dry so I wasn't too impressed by it. But as long as the soups and egg is good I don't mind it. My friend ordered this sizzling bibimbap and it came out in a stone skillet! Pretty cool to see actually. A very hearty dish and it felt like your normal bibimbap but on a skillet. This is a pretty cool place overall to come try out. Don't come here with high expectations if you're ordering ramen at least. This place gets the job done if you just want something easy and simple.

A very solid and homey Korean restaurant in the Richmond, one of the better Korean restaurants in SF since I think good Korean food is fairly hard to come by here. Grilled Pork Belly - Nothing crazy, but pretty tasty and tender. Overall solid choice for an entree, and the portions were pretty generous. The BBQ sauce they put over was pretty unique, definitely not traditionally Korean in my opinion but pretty cool to try. BBQ Short Ribs - Pretty standard Kalbi dish. Same as above - nothing super crazy or anything but still overall very solid, probably won't get disappointed by this. Overall, it's solid and somewhere that I'd go back to, but didn't blow my mind or anything. If you're craving some Korean / Japanese fusion style dishes, definitely check this spot out!

This is always a go to spot for any visitors I have coming to town! The sizzling plates are my favorite but they have a whole menu full of Korean classics and other fun Asian fusion tapas. As featured in the photo, the soju cocktails keep us coming back! Perfect date night spot too.

Ordered the soy garlic boneless fried chicken. Flavorful extra crispy skin, not the typical heavy breading type of fry. Spicy pork Mazemen brothless ramen, noodles so good ! Only lightly spicy, perfect for me. Their flavor sauce clings without being wet ! Yum! Their beef short rib doesn't have a lot of meat but I guess that's typical, still very tasty. I got confused on the Yelp order take out button, only leading me to a DoorDash ad, but I was picking up. So I tried calling to order but they did not pick up, on a Friday 6pm, but didn't wait long for the food. Everything still piping hot when I got home 20 min later. Duh, Turns out I needed to click See full menu, then the top right button to order online. Family happy. Even my Chinese penny pinching mom who usually says "it's too salty" will definitely be back

Jijime is a fine Asian Fusion snack-ish food and bar. They have some standard Korean faire alongside Japanese inspired Okonomiyaki fries and gyoza and ramen. So that being said, if you're looking for Korean spices or punchy flavors like we were, Jijime offers more milder versions of said dishes and stews and plates. Service was great though and the ladies assisting our table were super nice and accommodating, as we asked for extra this and that and refills. Very cute and quaint vibes with lots of drink options and tapa-like foods. I feel this is a great spot to shoot the bull w/ friends...

Honestly this place probably deserves a 3 star for quality of food but the service was good and the bibimbap was delicious. Thought we might need reservations here but came on a rainy night and it was very quiet. We ordered the Korean fried chicken soy garlic and the bulgogli quesadilla to start and my hubby got the ramen and i got the pork belly bibimbap. The fried chicken was pretty good, nothing amazing but def good. The bulgogli was delicious! Great flavor. My hubby didn't love his ramen (go figure it's mainly a Korean place) but my bibimbap was solid. The meat in particular was rly rly good. I wish they had indicated how big it was and suggested the smaller size but that's ok! I ate most of it.

walked in on a saturday around 7 pm with 2 friends - we waited ~30 minutes for a table and were able to sit at the bar and look at the menu while waiting, so we were ready to order as soon as we got a table. the ambiance was more casual; i think it was great for just enjoying some good food. we ordered the sizzling bibimbap with spicy pork, chicken jjim (soy garlic), bulgogi quesadilla, boneless fried chicken (soy garlic). we got a little tripped up by all the flavor options, but i think we ended up with a good mix of flavors. the bulgogi quesadilla was unexpectedly good albeit a little sweet, so i wouldn't have too much of it. we were thinking that more kimchi would've made it better. i liked the bibimbap as well, it had good spiciness & flavor, and i liked that the rice was crispy. the chicken was a bit dry/salty, though. overall pretty solid, i don't think i'd go out of my way to come here again but would be down to stop by if i was in the area and wanted good korean food!

Cute little spot in the Richmond, a nabe known for many such spots. I read Yelp reviews for menu suggestions before we went. We had the sizzling spicy pork plate, the bulgogi quesadillas, popcorn salmon bites, and the boneless fried chicken. My friend also ordered a side salad. The star dishes for us were the salmon and the chicken. The spicy pork plate was a generous portion and tasted fine, but nothing particularly special, and definitely not spicy. As an aficionado of spicy food, I didn't detect an ounce of heat in the pork plate. It did, however, arrive sizzling just as advertised. They just need to punch up the spice if they're going to call it spicy. I had a delicious strawberry lemonade with my meal. Service was fair. We needed to prompt them for the check. They take reservations and I suggest making them. I also suggest arriving at 5:30 for dinner, to get a bit ahead of the crowd. I'll be back for the salmon and chicken, and maybe try one of the soups.

I don't really understand the popularity of this place. We waited maybe ~30 minutes for a table for Saturday dinner. The food was just...not good? I get that it's "Asian fusion" but everything tasted super Americanized. I honestly couldn't name one dish that my group enjoyed. The service was also a bit rude (but I think the staff seemed overwhelmed by how busy it was).

Super delicious korean spot. Been here twice and both times did not disappoint. The soy garlic fried chicken was amazing. The bulgogi bibimbap was also so delicious and usually I am not a bibimbap fan! I'd say that the fried chicken and bibimbap are quite large portions and can be shared. The soy garlic jjim was also pretty good, but the portion size for that is not shareable for 2 people. Service was attentive and quick, not much of a wait. Restaurant vibes are casual and relaxing, great spot to go to with friends.

Been wanting to tried this place, hoping for a jjim similar to Daeho, but we have mixed feelings. I mean it was gooood, but the portion size was very small. We were a group of 5 and we felt like we ordered a lot when ordering but when the dishes came out it was much much smaller than we thought. Esp the beef short ribs. When it came out we all looked at each other like ugh that's it? That would have been enough for just 1, let alone to share between the 5 of us. We literally had to cut that in pieces, and we each got one piece and at most 2 small pieces left over.

My friend and I ordered the galbi bbq plate $25 and sizzling bibimbap with pork belly $22. The Korean bbq here is reasonably priced compared to other restaurants causing $30+. It came with a bowl of white rice and salad. The meat plate came with 4 small pieces of mushrooms, a lot of onions along with the galbi on a sizzling plate. They don't have banchans here though unlike other Korean restaurants, which might explain the lower price for the bbq. I would come back for the bbq but not bibimbap since other places include banchans. This is a fusion place with Japanese ramen, so not a traditional Korean restaurant. Still, I'm not used to not getting any banchans at a Korean restaurant since I love my veggies.

My group of 4 was looking for some comfort food after coming back from the Presidio, and I remember wanting to check the restaurant out after seeing the signage outside. The interior is a mix of modern and cozy. Our bibimbap had the vegetables of a Japanese-American dish and pretty tasty bulgogi, despite being a fusion type of Bibimbap. Our tofu stew tofu looked almost a little cooked -- as the silken tofu was broken up to almost an applesauce consistency; flavor wise it missing some depth but that was probably on us for ordering mild. The small bites were solid! I recommend both trying the Okonomiyaki fries and fried chicken, which we got in soy garlic. There's also a modest selection of drinks other drink menu. Overall, the food is good but probably better for sharing over some drinks rather than as comfort food. Would be back to try some more of the small bites!

Great hot plates! My party of five showed up around 8:40 and they close at 9pm and they were really gracious to seat us since there weren't many restaurants open around. They had also just seated another party of 3 before us who were ordering late. We ended up getting a couple appetizers along with one sizzling plate per person and it was really good! I wish they had some banchan at the front to eat with the sizzling plates, but still great food! Pork Belly Sizzling Plate (5/5): This sizzling plate was delicious, it came out on a cast iron plate and was smoking right off the bat. It also came with a salad and a bowl of rice and was the perfect amount. I wish there would have been some more veggies in it (besides the onion), but the meat was really soft and the sauce on top was delicious. Corn Cheese (5/5): Honestly such gooey cheese and corn ratio, it came out on a cast iron plate so it was nice and warm Okonomiyaki Fries (4.5/5): The sauce distribution was a bit tough for the bottom fries, but the toppings and flavor were really nice and the fries had a good crunch. I would definitely come again to try their ramen as they had a lot of options on the menu.

Came here for the first time, easy to find, parking was rough though because the place is near a residential area and an open road. The interior was very cozy and nice. It's reminiscent of a lot of ramen places with the dim lighting. I got the ramen with chicken on the side, I also ordered a plate of soy garlic chicken and only realized after the fact that I should've just gotten a regular ramen without chicken. The ramen dish was a 7.5/10. Ramen itself was good and the soup but the chicken was sort of over cooked and didn't add much flavor to the dish. The soy garlic chicken was a 9/10, very crunchy and delicious. The pieces were big and they gave a good amount.

This was one of the best Korean stew pots I've ever had. There was the perfect level of spiciness. But the highlight of the dish was the generous amount of kimchi and bean sprouts and various veggies in every bite. Admittedly, there was not a lot of pork in my dish but the pork was high quality--it melts in your mouth. Service was very attentive and our food came out quickly.

Solid Korean spot in Richmond with vegetarian options. I tried the Korean tofu stew and bibimbap and both were delicious. The bibimbap needed some sauciness but nothing that the house sauces couldn't fix. The portions were plenty and loaded with tofu as a protein. There were also great drink and happy hour deals.

On a Friday night with my BFF and her hubby we were sat down immediately. I ordered the kalbi plate, my best friend dry ramen, and her hubby a sizzling kimchi rice plate. All really good. My kalbi was extra smokey which added a depth of flavor. I was surprised and would come again. I also ordered a pear juice which tasted like a pear juice. It was fine. Atmosphere was good a lot of wood on the dark end. Service was good. :)

Loved this place! Had a lot of the Korean classics but more modern and elevated take on them. If you're looking for like homemade feel, then maybe not. But we overall enjoyed our meal and our fav was the beef short rib and bibimbap

Had the kimchi stew and the chicken jjim but i was not impressed, as a korean did not taste authentic. Could use more spices.
