    dec 22, 2023 - bobcha burrito w/ spicy pork + fried egg (+$1.50); SO SO good, 5/5
    Fanny W.

    Korean-Mexican fusion wrapped up in a burrito! What We Ordered: + Bobcha Burrito w/ Spicy Pork, add Fried Egg; 5/5 $18.86 for a pretty large burrito that feeds 2, not bad. The fried egg is an additional $1.50, and it def makes the burrito so much tastier. I really enjoyed the crispy tater tots, kimchi, and the Korean flavor of the burrito. The kimchi was not overpowering, allowing the taste of the spicy pork belly to come through. I'm hooked. Took one bite and wanted to go back and order another one for next days meal.

    So weird to get a Korean BBQ burrito and to not like the beef. The beef was dry, and after almost $14, just not worth it. Also, I felt the burrito was small too. Would skip this truck.

    Healthy bowl with spicy pork
    Jude D.

    I tried the healthy bowl at treasure island festival over the weekend and that thing was fire! I had to do no kimchi cause it does have shellfish and I'm allergic. But instead I loaded up on spicy pork and extra hot sauce. Highly recommend that combo if you like hot food, it was the perfect amount of spicy and came with a ton of meat. The veggies were also super fresh and there were even some steamed broccoli in the bowl upping the veg factor. It was a huge amount of food for only 18 (which at a festival is cheap) and I could barely even finish it.

    On Thursday, our employer has new food trucks come every week so that we don't have to travel far for food and I gotta say that this has been the best food truck we've had for awhile. I got the meat lovers bowl; half spicy port and KFC (Korean fried chicken). It came with rice and a salad which was of course great together. My co-worker got the tots and KFC (on its own) and they were BOMB! Those portions were SPOT ON for sharing with me and another co-worker. This was by far the best food truck that has been on our facility that we appreciate exists. I didn't take any pictures because we were all starving - LOL but we for sure clean all our plates. Also if you're wondering prices, its in between $11-$17 for their foods. I would say it worth my opinion cause we cleared our foods.

    Bobcha KFC
    Angelica L.

    We basically ordered the whole menu for the family at Korean BOBCHA at the Off the Grid: Fort Mason event. 2 Protein Plate ($14): My dad got the beef and chicken for his 2 protein choices. Their beef reminds me of the Costco bulgogi beef. Everyone loved the chicken which was really soft. Bobcha KFC ($17): I believe this came with 8 chicken wings, half soy garlic and half sweet & spicy. You can barely taste the soy garlic so you mostly taste the dry but crispy chicken. The sweet & spicy was much better since it has more flavor. This order came with salad and rice which was nice. Bobcha Tots ($17): The tots were served in a unique way. They must have smashed the tots because they were thin crispy tot layers topped with bulgogi beef and kimchi. This was a family favorite for sure. Bobcha Burrito ($14): So there's apparently a layer of tater tots in here which is probably the same thing they use for the tots. We got spicy pork and it went so well with the rest of the burrito ingredients. It was unique and such a successful Asian fusion item. This was my brother's favorite and probably mine too.

    Meat Lover's Bowl with beef Bulgogi and BBQ chicken.
    Eva L.

    The Meat Lover's Bowl allows you to choose two types of meat from their protein options. The options are beef Bulgogi, sweet & spicy pork, BBQ chicken, Korean Fried chicken and tofu. I love how I can choose two proteins and try more of their meat. I chose beef Bulgogi and BBQ chicken. It came with white rice and salad. Good beef Bulgogi; not too saucy. Meat was tender and perfectly cooked. The BBQ chicken was well marinated; has some sweetness and soy sauce taste to it. I expected the orange sauce to be spicy but it was not although it adds another layer of flavor to the chicken which makes it less sweet. The Healthy Bowl has one choice of protein. Great alternate if you want to skip the carbs. Reasonable price for the options offered and quality of food. I wish I have tried their version of KFC and sweet spicy pork.

    A good Korean food truck place with generous portions! I get their food when they stop by Levi's Plaza every so often. I usually get the Korean Healthy Bowl with Bulgogi Beef, very flavorful!

    Two different burritos - beef (left) and spicy pork (right)
    Elaine Y.

    Korean Bobcha was so good that I literally had it twice in the last week! Both times I opted for the Bobcha Burrito which, on these trips, featured a slight twist from the norm. Instead of bacon fried rice, it featured tator tots and my goodness, is that an upgrade or what?! The first time, I split a bulgolgi beef version with a friend. The beef made the burrito a little sweeter than I would've preferred but luckily the kimchi helped to balance it out. The tots provided a delightful crunchiness and probably also helped cut the heft (compared to rice). I wasn't a huge fan of the spring greens in the middle (mostly cause it's not very Korean nor does it belong in a burrito) but it was there for health. The second time, I went with spicy pork and let me tell you, that's the move. It was so good! Again the spring greens left something to be desired (kimchi chives or daikon would be more fun and authentic imo) but everything else played together very well! Both times left me in a bit of a food coma, but both times were worth it!

    Spicy Korean Chicken Wings
    Elvin L.

    There is no worse feeling than standing in line at food truck in SF and spending $17-$18 bucks per plate and the food just being okay. This is definitely not the case! I've visited this truck on different occasions and they've always been consistently good with me These guys are definitely worth a follow on twitter if you ever wanna get something different and something good The spicy chicken wings hits you with a little sweet, savory and just a little spice. Pairs really well with steamed rice and a little salad I definitely gotta try the soy garlic wings next time! The other plate, wow. This one's a take home, for sure. Tater Tots, Bulgogi, Kimchi, Cheesy and super savory. I took 10 bites and I'm ready to KO for the day. Thank you for the awesome food and stellar service!

    Bobcha Tots (Bulgogi Beef, Kimchi, Cheese, Magic & Hot Sauce)- 5/5 stars. Awesome, a must order!
    Amy D.

    One of the best food trucks I've been to in a while! If you love Korean food and spicy sauces, Bobcha is the truck for you. I've tried: -Bulgogi Beef & Spicy Pork (w/Kale Slaw, Steamed Rice, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Rk4Y219pAvtB1AwCZAzBgQ&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Yum- both their bulgogi beef and spicy pork are really good, and super flavorful. You can opt for salad instead of steamed rice. This is a large portion of food, and is probably at least a meal and a half for most. -Bobcha Tots (Bulgogi Beef, Kimchi, Cheese, Magic & Hot Sauce, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=6w_snqrFlRzRGtyvVXRkwQ&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): SO GOOD, and a must order! The tots were nice and crispy, and held up to all the delicious toppings. It's highly recommended to eat these fresh, since the sauces and beef can make the tots soggy. Food is prepared quickly, and it took less than 10 minutes each time. I still need to come back and try their KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) and Bobcha Burrito (my coworker has ordered this and it's giant).

    This place is the*chefs kiss*! I ordered the healthy bowl and I'm not sure how healthy it actually is lol. It tasted so good. They give you lots of vegetables and an egg on top. You also get your choice of protein and you can add Korean fried chicken for a dollar. Of course got the KFC with the soy glaze. Definitely trouble when it comes to your work!

    I visited their food truck while I was at Spark Social in San Francisco, and it was the best decision that I've made. I ordered the following items: -Bob Burrito -Bobcha KFC -Bobcha Tots All the favors of each item goes together so well. The portion was good and satisfied my coworkers and I. I highly recommend you to check out their food truck for some delicious food. You won't regret it!

    Bulgogi burrito
    Tara A.

    Bobcha is one of the better and more affordable food trucks in the Bay Area! Compared to other trucks, their prices are very fair and they pack their dishes with lots of protein. I tried this truck when they were at Off the Grid at Civic Center in SF. I ordered their bob burrito ($10) with beef bulgogi (+$1). I asked them to cut it in half and they had no problem with that. You can also grab gojuchang sauce + their magic sauce on the side of the truck. When I got back to the office, the burrito was still warm so that's a plus! On first look, you can see that the burrito is stuffffed with bulgogi--so worth it! Along with bulgogi, the burrito comes with their magic orange sauce, spicy fried rice, lettuce, sour cream, mozzarella cheese, and pineapple! Pineapple may sound a little weird in a burrito, but I thought the sweetness went well with the bulgogi. The burrito had a bit more magic sauce than I wanted, but not so much that it deterred me from eating it. I actually finished only half of the burrito and I was so full. Even my coworker who eats a lot had 1/5 of his burrito left at the end of lunch! I've also tried their cupbob and I think that is my new favorite! You pick 2 proteins and it comes with mixed greens and rice. They really pack the box with the meats! I got KFC/korean fried chicken and spicy pork. I liked both! The KFC sauce was sweet and spicy, and the spicy pork had their magic sauce drizzled on top. I couldn't even finish this box for one meal, so you can definitely make 2 meals out of it! I also tried some of my coworker's curry tots and those are definitely noteworthy. They are super crunchy without too much seasoning, so the curry flavor isn't super strong. Tastes great when dipped in a side of magic sauce! Bobcha will stay a staple in my lunch routine!

Daeho Kalbijim - 5*/5, this is the star of the show, order with or without the shredded mozzarella cheese on top that they flame with two hand torches. Unbelievably delicious, tender short rib accompanied by generous chunks of potato, turnip, carrot, onion, rice cake, and I always like to add one or two orders of glass noodles which really soak up the flavors at the bottom. We've had kalbijim at the supposedly best place in LA's Ktown and it paled in comparison to Daeho. For six people we ordered one with cheese and one without and had lots of leftovers. You also get bonchon (four different kinds) which they will refill. So what you get in addition (if anything) is a bit of a debate. After trying a few items in the past, I've decided starting with the mandoo tang is the best option - light, oxtail soup, with 5-6 mandoo gives you a nice start before you dig into all the meat in the kalbijim.

Everything that we ordered was for sharing so people could get a taste of different items. I focused on the Jun, Mondoo, Wings and then did my best to clean up all the Banchan.

Granted we were a bit late for our reservation, we ended up having to wait another 30-40 mins. The place (2nd floor) is small & awkward.

You can also feel whenever the table next to us got up and stomped/yelled/moved in their chairs-- which was really often. The basic AYCE menu is fairly limited-- esp for the side options. The marinated meats were pretty good as was the tteokbokki. Side & meat portions were alright, but the kicker is having to flag down staff to make sure they put in the order & bring it out.

The server/manager also told us that he had accidentally brought out 2 bottles of soju for us and that he'd COMP 1 bottle.

Maybe it's because we are Black Americans or maybe they just suck. The food was subpar the fried chicken was overcooked and my stomach hurt all last night. I live up the street on Bush so this would be a local spot. The service was terrible so they will never get my business again. Yes black people live in the neighborhood and eat Korean food and have credit cards.

    While in SF, you have to visit this cozy establishment on the corner of the street. After my…read moredaughter and I checked in to our room, she was famished. This was her first long drive by herself (we took separate cars). I pulled up my Yelp app to see what was nearby. Not only was it one of our favorite foods to eat, Yasijang has a pretty good start rating as well! Now... if we could've only walked in the right direction, we would've been here within minutes from our hotel, lol! While it was still bright at 7 p.m, as you walk in, the windows are darkened and outdoor lights were strung up inside to set the mood. It felt like you were transformed into another world. Inside seating is limited and each table has a touch lamp. This makes for a more intimate setting. For my daughter and I, we were excited to try something different. Midori was our server. She quickly got us some waters to start. We ordered an apple mango Soju. Soju is a popular alcoholic beverage in Korea. It was very smooth and slightly sweet. My daughter enjoys these. For me, it was too sweet, but I'm someone who doesn't drink juice or soda, so my opinion on being sweet doesn't count, lol. For dinner, we ordered 3 rolls: The Rainbow Roll The Lion King Van Ness Roll All these rolls were very tasty, and my daughter's favorite, The Lion King. She normally goes for this one at any sushi restaurant, but here at Yasijang, the Lion King was unique. It was darkened on top. It seemed to be cooked more to give it extra texture. It was interestingly delicious for me and super delicious for her. I enjoyed all the rolls, but if I had to pick one I liked the most it would be the Van Ness Roll. I like rolls with texture (the cucumber), and this rolls has the thinnest slice of lemon in it.. it made it taste refreshing! My daughter isn't a fan of Wasabi or ginger, so that leaves it all for me... and I do enjoy bites of ginger and here and there. I will put the Wasabi on straight... although ending with that slight burning in my sinus... I don't put it on every roll... but I do use most of what I'm given depending on my mood. While sitting, we watched Midori serve the other tables some interesting dishes, like the Samgyeopsal Gui.. grilled pork belly with kimcheein on a sizzling plate. The smell was beautifully intoxicating for me. They also ordered a soup that cooked at the table. I want to come back to try those! While we had such an amazing experience here, I wouldn't recommend coming here with large groups as it seems to only be able to accommodate 1 larger group at a time and the rest of the tables for 2-3 comfortably after the food is out. However, I highly recommend coming here to try their unique flavors. Yasijang is at the top of my places to go when I come back to visit SF!

    My friend and I came here right at 5pm before seeing a 7pm show at the Orpheum on a Tuesday…read moreevening. The place was much smaller than I originally thought and the seating arrangements were interesting. What turned me off was the place smelling like cleaning solution because I'm guessing they cleaned right before opening. It went away after a bit, but it wasn't a great first impression. Food was surprisingly good. - The Spam Roulette was a fun appetizer if you and your company are daring enough. I didn't get the wasabi bomb, but my friend said it was packed - be warned! - The Mini Jeon was very crispy. It was good on its own or with the sauce. Solid choice for something crispy. - The corn cheese was the star. This was by far one of the best that I've had. It's creamy, buttery, and the corn was sweet. The best part was that the cheese had a really nice char flavor from the blow torch. It boosted the flavor of the entire dish. The flavors just worked beautifully in that dish. Highly recommend. - The Sooyuk was a sleeper. It was good but I've had better. - The Volcano Roll was solid. I was hesitant getting sushi at a Korean forward spot, but it was good. Service was okay. There were times we had to signal to the server we were ready or needed their attention because they were talking to another staff. This was when it was just us inside the restaurant. When there were more parties, the service was better. The food came out at a good pace and the server checked in on us multiple times so that's a plus. If you need a place before a downtown show, this is a solid spot that you can go to. They take reservations too which is nice.

    Went there during the Fillmore Festival at around 11:30. Was surprised there weren't more…read morecustomers. I first started eating at this place around 1990 and have at times stopped going once I moved out of the city. I try to go at least once a year. Have always enjoyed their clams, dried fried chicken, jia jiang mian, and seafood noodle soup. Clams were still plentiful, plump, and very fresh. Noodle were still good. The owner recommended I try the Jjamppong and tubot. The jjamppong like their other noodles were good but the standout was the turbot: steamed to perfection, fresh, and tasty. I can't compare it to other fish but it was soft, smooth, and buttery. I have seen the owner before cooking in the kitchen but it looks now father time has caught up and he is thoroughly enjoying helping out in the front. He was talkative and pleasant to talk to.

    This place was really good. I found it through yelp. After being at the Japan town mall waiting for…read moremy family to finish shopping, I wanted Chinese food that was further away. So I found this place and we walked in with few customers. We ordered a soup, and were about to order something else when the server/cook suggested we order the meal for 3. He let us substitute the white rice for fried rice and cashew chicken for lemon chicken that we wanted. Boy was it a real treat. We added a chicken chow mein and we weren't disappointed. All in all, we came out stuffed with leftovers, and great service to boot. We were the only ones in the restaurant at the time which was surprising, how great the food and service were. Come here and you won't regret it!
