- Honestly, this place, with it’s slightly wired but delicious mix of Asian foods, is great. It has a brilliant fermented background flavor and really interesting and attractive tastes and textures.
- Odile RoujolDecember 7, 2015Try the Dumplings, the beef. Beer or Wine ( or Sake ). Come around 5.45pm or else don't forget to book. You can eat alone at the counter, great for singles too. Excellent service, friendly and fast.
- Peter ChangSeptember 17, 2014Best black sesame pudding I ever had & best black sesame dessert in America. I've eaten hundreds of back sesame desserts as it's my favorite ingredient. Good shaved ice with nontraditional ingredients
- ValJuly 22, 2019Fast casual Korean with lots of vegan options like this vegan ramen lunch special but also fried tofu Korean tacos and tofu bento box. Got a dairy-free matcha shake too.
- M Aldoss ♏April 2, 2016Nice Cozy Ambiance, Friendly staff. Lamb tskune was spicy Delicious and Turkey Tail was one of the best Dishes I have ever eat !!!! Highly Recommended 👍 👍 👍
- Run over and order the Ramagnolotti, a mash-up of ramen and agnolotti with onsen egg, pork belly, and nori. Crazy go nuts good.
- Love love love this place. Kimchi fried rice w/ 4505 spicy hot dog is amazing. Okonomiyaki is spectacular. Chill out afterwards by grabbing Bi-Rite Ice Cream next door or Bebebar down the street.
- Reynaldo CaacbayOctober 15, 2014One of the best meals I've had in San Francisco so far. Ordered the stonepot (image), oysters and tartare for the 3 of us (you'll need an extra dish if you're really hungry). Enjoy!
- Their shaved ices are great. The flavors rotate daily. The flakes of ice have a nice texture as they melt in your mouth. It's refreshing & lighter than most desserts so I don't feel like a pig after.
- Marta TapperoFebruary 1, 2017Namu Gaji was great! I loved the ambiance and the wood tables. Service was very friendly. We tried the Fried Rice, I honestly expected more, but it was really good. and the fries were really unique!
- tablehopperAugust 3, 2014My favorite section is the comfort section. The Namu burger continues to rock, but the okonomiyaki is what hits it out of the freaking park; It’s the next level of the “I’m drunk and hungry” dish. Read more
- Bryce RobertsOctober 30, 2014real talk- their Korean fried chicken may be the best fried chicken in the Bay Area. two big juicy pieces of crispy, sweet heavenly bird.
- tablehopperAugust 3, 2014The star of the grilled section is the beef tongue, which entails a seven-day curing process—it’s like Korean tongue pastrami. You will order it every time, mark my words. Read more
- Paul FarrellOctober 11, 2015Oxtail (lovely spiciness), beef tongue, dumplings and the Okonomiyaki were the dishes to remember. Get there for happy hour.
- Jonathan EatherlyJanuary 9, 2015The Korean fried chicken was awesome. Perfect balance of sweetness from the breeding (think chicken and waffles), tangy/spicy from the glaze, and savory from the dashi gravy.
- Noah WeissJuly 11, 2014Kimchi and steak rice in a stone pot. The huge plate of mushrooms. Reasonably priced modern Korean food with big portions.
- Rafi SyedApril 15, 2013Stone pot, burger, hot dog ramen. I mean, hot dogs in ramen. What's not to like? The sake flight is a great pairing, but they have amazing beers so try one you haven't tried.
- Vivian WangJuly 5, 2015They serve the Korean style fries and tacos during their happy hour. Go there for an early dinner so you can start with happy hour food then order dinner when dinner service starts!
- Alex TenetteJuly 26, 2013Its worth it to come by early for their happy hour menu. The staff were great and extremely friendly. The food was amazing especially the ox tail deukbokki and tantan noodles.
- tablehopperAugust 3, 2014The crispy section is where you’ll find the ridonkulous potato puffs—just imagine fried balls made of the mashed potatoes of your dreams, with a flurry of Parmesan and a gochujang aioli. Wicked. Read more
- Big fan of the very authentic okonomiyaki (Japanese savory pancake) and the Bibimbap (stonepot). Definitely put an egg on it!
- SubhadraJuly 13, 2016Great spot for brunch that also does reservations! Was surprised to discover that they have AMAZING French toast if you're not feeling more adventurous
- Go Find AliceJuly 5, 2015Gotta order the stonepot and add the steak! Also order the gamja fries with bulgogi & the beef tongue dish.
- I love their orange wine. I'm not a heavy drinker but I usually can't help my self from ordering at least 4 glasses of it. It's one of my favorite things to drink in SF.
- Travel + LeisureNovember 30, 2012This family-run Korean spot draws crowds with its market vegetable stone pot, handmade noodles, and shave ice. The lines forming out the door rival its neighbor Bi-Rite Creamery.
- Jole PMarch 2, 2015Really small portions for appetizers but the "comfort" dishes are really filling. The okonomiyaki is amazing and so are the dumplings!
- Kim PhamApril 5, 2015Trendy, hipster Korean done well. Stonepot is much larger than you think! Skip the ramen-style pasta plate, too salty.
- Matt LewJanuary 15, 2016Get the KFC (Korean Fried Chicken). Comes with gravy and cheese. Come before 7pm to get seats.
- Eddy ChenSeptember 1, 2014The vibe is casual but the cuisine is refined and top notch. Standouts include the dumplings and the okonomiyaki.
- Jennifer HarbinSeptember 20, 2016Stone pot and beef tongue were incredible from what I can remember. This was a couple years ago.
- I love the windows facing out to the street. Never had a bad thing here. The stone pot with flank steak is awesome.
- V COctober 5, 2019This is fast casual place with a Japanese-Korean fusion theme. Bibimbap bowls and Ramen are the highlights.
- Kait GaissMay 12, 2016Go early for happy hour for the gamja fries and Korean tacos. Standouts also include KFC chicken wings, stonepot rice, okonomiyaki, and dumplings.
- BlackboardEatsAugust 10, 2012We recommend scooting into Namu Gaji for a shaved ice. Flavors vary, but the snowy pile of Four Barrel Coffee shaved ice garnished with beads of tapioca and sweetened condensed milk are habit-forming.
- Peter ShinJanuary 1, 2014My Korean wife and I both agree, I must say the gamja fries (topped w/ bulgogi, kimchi, and gochujang) are really something special.
- Tristan TranMay 23, 2015Everything actually good, or really good! But also, expensive or really expensive for the portion and quality. This restaurant should definitely be ranked $$$ in my opinion.
- Eliza ChangJuly 31, 2016Dumplings and mushroom - absurdly good. The black sesame pudding is one of the best things I've ever had.
- I've had the stone pot with flank steak over a dozen times. When it's served hold off eating it for about 10 minutes so the rice can cook and get crunchy on the hot stone it's served in.
- Adrian BarkerApril 14, 2017Go on Wednesday nights for K.F.C. Amazing Korean fried chicken for $20 and worth every penny.
- They serve one of the most delicious bibimbap you'll find outside of Korea! Look for "stone" on their menu.
- @JaumePrimeroSeptember 11, 2014Had the pleasure of ordering the Korean fried chicken. Sit at the bar and enjoy the view of Dolores Park!
- Tasting TableJune 19, 2012Don't miss the fried rice. It’s laced with house-made kimchee, pieces of bacon, onion and 4505 Meats’ hot dogs, then topped with a shimmering fried egg: Read more
- The Tastes that Make the CityJanuary 28, 2015The shiitake dumplings are the best dumplings in SF, making our list of "The Tastes That Make the City: SF Edition." Read more
- Keyue BaoJanuary 21, 2019Was excited but disappointed, we got the fries as starters which were good but average, then loco moco and kimchee fried rice with bulgogi beef for entrees. They were...lacking in flavor, very bland.
