    Sulpang with matcha cream
    Jerry H.

    I'll start by saying we love there bakery and market. But POGU, the restaurant in the middle of this beautiful store was very disappointing. On a positive note, the small amount of banchan we are very tasty and the rice bread, sulpang, was good with the matcha cream. The kimchi was crisp and tasty. But sadly, everything we actually ordered was only OK: 1. Got the tofu appetizer. This was probably the best thing we ordered. The tofu was pretty good, but the kimchi it sat on was unlike the kimchi on the side. It was ground up into small pieces and not very good. 2. The noodle soup with the bone broth was very plain. 3. The seafood jigae was definitely our least favorite. Just sour and not that good. Serivice was excellent, but this place can definitely go with upping the quality and taste of the food. We totally didn't expect the restaurant to be this disappointing in such a cool location within the market.

    Feast for 3!

    Now that the hype has settled, decided to finally check it out POGU with a couple of friends for a Friday lunch. Since there was 3 of us and to make sure that everyone in our party got back to their work on time we went with the set menu that was offered which included: tofu jjigae - spicy but didn't pack a flavor punch galbi buchimgae- favorite as the tender and fried pairing was delish with the dipping sauce galbi & pork belly- tender but a little short on seasoned was the consensus unagi bento- not bad but have had better as the skin was a little flabby buckwheat noodles- great flavor and generous portion or soba noodles paired with a umami type of dressing. Seafood salad- seemed fresh and was good break from the other dishes some banchan were included and they were fine & overall it was plenty of food for 3 people but expect a high price point than normal but 5 star for very fast and friendly service.

    Finally tried this restaurant for the first time on a Monday early afternoon, there was no wait and plenty of tables. My friend and I split set meal A and it was very filling for two people, with leftovefs to take home. We started off with bread with matcha butter , the butter was so good! The dishes slowly all appeared: sashimi salad , pork belly with a side of vegetables, a seafood beef pancake, japchae, and a kimchi soup. Really loved the freshness of the sashimi salad which also had dragon fruit in it. The beef pancake was really flavorful.. the kimchi soup was a little too spicy for my personal taste. All in all pretty special experience inside a grocery store!

    We came for a walk in dinner on a Saturday and got seated right away. All the dishes we ordered were good. I really liked how they marinated their LA Galbi short ribs. The seafood soup and grilled black cod were good too. The workers were all super nice too and checked on us throughout our dinner.

    The long overdue visit and review since we first saw the grand opening. Came on a Monday evening and it was quite empty, which is great since no wait on kitchen items! No weekend crowds meant the whole store was calm and a peaceful vibe. Started off with a kiwi makgeolli, which is essentially a Korean rice wine. It was surprisingly good, milky and kinda sweet & tangy. I shared a POGU Set A and a few entree/sides with two other people. It was a good amount of food and we had leftovers. The POGU set/entree came with some unique, refreshing banchan consisting of kimchi (of course), rolled egg (my favorite), marinated raw squid (very chewy, a little salty), and kimchi carrots/daikon (we couldn't figure it out with our waiter). Almost felt like we were back in Seoul. There was an appetizer salad, with a small loaf of their in-house bakery bread (salppang) paired with a matcha butter that was incredible! The salad, meh, but the matcha butter was to rave about. We had tried these from their bakery before but were underwhelmed. I guess the secret is to heat them up a little and have some sort of flavor-infused butter. Our next item was the HweMuChim (raw fish salad). It comprised of salmon roe, tuna, salmon, and black fish roe, dragonfruit and a variety of greens with the Korean specialty perilla accenting the bowl. Very visually appealing! Best fresh with all the textures are still contrasting. The tofu kimchi jjigae (tofu stew) was solid, but nothing mind blowing. I will note that the tofu itself was very silky and not overcooked at all. The galbi scallion pajeon might be my meal highlight, if not top 2. The short rib was extremely tender and seasoning was balanced. The soy-based dipping sauce was a fortifying layer that soaked in so nicely. The pancake batter was airy and crispy at the edges... just how it should be. Grilled samgyup (grilled pork belly) was perfectly charred and went well with the fresh veggies (perilla leaf, lettuce, red onion, bellpeppers). The abalone and grilled vegetables were tasty additions. It seems they have rotating fish specials, perhaps following what's in season (?), but this time they had grilled black cod in a miso sauce. The cod was indeed soft and buttery, with that outside char, splendidd!! Miso sauce was sweet and slightly earthy. These two go together like pb&j. Overall the menu was extensive with many options and variety. The pricing is not as crazy as it may appear. Granted it's a bit more than your usual local mom and pop Korean joint, but the food is very refined with lots of creativity. Would love to come back with more people so we can share more items!

    I come to Jagalchi often and pass by POGU all the time but never actually ate inside because everyone would tell me how expensive this place is with small portions. Finally decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did! We made reservations for a Sunday night but would've been fine without one as the restaurant was quite empty. There were only a few tables filled. We ordered set B and the quality of everything was excellent!

    4.5 review rounded up to 5. Quality/Quantity - Quality of food is spot on for a Michelin star chef, restaurant. This restaurant is NOT Michelin star, but this restaurant is led by chef owner Chef Tony Yoo; the first Korean chef to earn a Michelin star. My wife and daughter are regular customers here and at the Jagalchi supermarket. My first time... And am so glad I finally made it. My wife and daughter have done the tasting menu for $95 per person. And on other occasions, a la cart. My daughter enjoyed the experiences more so than my wife. Today we got the following, both recommended by the waitress. Grilled Black Cod - This was cooked PERFECTLY, so tender and flavorful. My only complaint was that there were a lot of bones. Both the center bone and a few smaller bones in the rest of the fish steak. But it was cooked perfectly; it melted in our mouths! Gangwon Buckwheat Noodles - A signature item. See the before and after pictures. I do not think I did a good job mixing it, so my suggestion is that you mix it for us for best results...? It was still good, but did not compare to the cod. The chicken was really good in this dish, chewy but in a good way. All 3 banchan were of good quality, flavor, etc. Even the salad. The bread was firmer than I preferred, but the butter was AMAZING!!!! FYI - Banchan refills only twice, additional refills = $3 each refill. No additional bread refill, but it was suggested to buy more from the bakery. But it was the butter that really sold me! Complimentary tea, thank you. Ambiance - Cool set up right in the middle of the supermarket. My pictures do not do it justice. Good size. And very spacious. Today, it was NOT busy at all. Plenty of mall parking. Open kitchen with two large charcoal grills. 160 seats, including traditional Korean pillows set on the floor at low tables. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 10pm with a lunch break for the team from 3:30pm to 4:30pm. Catering available. Service - Good. Very welcoming from the hostess. Gave us a perfect table for my guest that has a hard time walking. Both waitresses and the bus girl also did a very good job. All very professional and checked up on us often. When I asked for more stuff and I did that often, they were all very accommodating. Price - $61 + tip. Expensive, but that is the cost for quality. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since March of 2025 and to Chef Tony Yoo's other restaurants.

    Food was delicious, service was excellent and atmosphere is great. Location is perfect as it's within the mall and prices are reasonable.

    This was my second visit to Pogu and overall it was a good experience. We ordered Set Menu A ($90) for two people, which included four dishes. We were seated right away, and the staff were friendly. They brought us warm tea immediately, which was especially comforting on such a chilly day. The Galbi Scallion Pajeon arrived first. It was quite chewy but tasty, especially with the dipping sauce. The Hwemuchim included a fresh variety of vegetables, but it tasted very sour almost overwhelmingly vinegary so I couldn't really enjoy the other flavors. The grilled samgyup was good, though a bit on the fatty side. It was served with a variety of fresh lettuce & dipping sauce which complemented the meat nicely. The highlight for me was the Tofu Kimchi Jjigae. It had a deep, rich flavor exactly how a good kimchi stew should taste. Overall, the presentation was excellent and the meal was satisfying. To be honest, it felt like some of the dishes might have been prepared by a non Korean chef, but they still did a really great job. One more thing to mention. since the restaurant is located in the center of the market, the temperature inside feels the same as the market itself. It was quite chilly during our visit. I wish the space had been a little warmer and cozier to make the dining experience more comfortable. That's all

    Assorted Ssam

    We came here for a Valentine's Day dinner yesterday. They had a Valentine's Weekend special where you'll get complimentary cocktails if you order a set. We opted for own choices of dishes instead so no cocktails for us. It was very interesting to eat in a restaurant located inside a grocery market. Given this though, there was a lot of space and the tables were spread out. The waiting area had nice accent chairs and sofas that didn't make me feel like I was in a restaurant or even a grocery market. The vibes were just overall interesting and different. We ordered a total of 3 dishes: Grilled LA Galbi, Doenjang Jjigae, and Gangwon Buckwheat Noodles. We also got a side of Assorted Ssam. For complimentary sides, they gave salad, sulppang bread with matcha butter, and some other banchan. Out of everything we had, my favorite thing would probably be the matcha butter. It was creamy, light, and yummy. All the food was good but nothing mind blowing. For the price point, we expected a little more. Service was decent. The water cups were small. They didn't give us a pitcher so we had to flag down our server a few times to ask for a refill.

    We wanted to bring my family here because we knew it was run by a well-known Korean chef and the restaurant did not disappoint. It's in an interesting location, inside Jagalchi, an upscale Korean grocery market. We ordered a little bit of everything, including buckwheat noodles with a pesto-like flavor, LA galbi, eel bibimbap and some sort of cod. I'm happy to report that all the dishes were delicious and most importantly, had a clean, well-balanced taste. I really enjoyed the bread and matcha-like paste that came as an appetizer to the main dishes. My mother in law and I wiped it clean. I'd come back again!

    Banchan with kimchi salad
    Karen N.

    Nice interior with an open kitchen in the center. Attentive servers brought us hot water in a nice modern chrome pitcher. We were shopping and decided to try a bite and tried the dollsat bibimbop and japchae. They first brought some banchan which was a welcome starter. Unfortunately the dolsat did not have any crunchy rice and really needed the sauce, the japchae was ok but lacked sesame seeds and veggies for texture. They did have a $45 daily special that looked good. And they offer bigger course meals.

    Grilled black cod
    Rachel H.

    I made a reservation here for lunch, and I really enjoyed it. I ordered the grilled black cod, and it came with a free sangria! The sangria was nice and refreshing. The black cod came with pretty big pieces, and luckily only one piece had bones in it. Our server was really nice.

Almost anything you could possibly think of can be found, or freshly cut to order. Just as you're walking around, there's small areas where you might find fresh noodles, or some definite, unique food finds like fresh tteokbokki. Yes I needed to buy this! They have an entire beauty section that's filled with the variety of products, many of them overpriced, but also hard to find in the average marketplace. The fresh fruit area is small, but abundant. This is definitely worth a visit, if nothing more than the experience. You will find some amazing and unique items that are usually only found abroad.

I went around 8pm on a weekday and place was packedddd, but the service was impressive. All of our dishes came out all at one, within 5-10 minutes after ordering. What I had: Yuk hwe (beef tartare with pears and egg yolk): If you're hesitant about raw beef, please don't be. It's honestly just like eating sashimi. Wagyu meat was incredibly tender, sweet, and melted in my mouth. It was mixed with some kind of seasoning sauce and egg yolk, so savory and addictive I couldn't stop. Highly recommend you should try it if you can eat raw food Bossam: Great but I found it a bit too fatty (meat-to-fat ratio was like 50:50 ). My favorite way to eat was wrapping it in lettuce with garlic (extraaa), jalapeno, kimchi, and ssamjang. It also went well with rice. Big bite was super satisfying Galbi tang: Something we ordered to balance things out (2 previous dishes was just heavy), and it was a perfect decision. The soup was light, clean, and deeply comforting. Beef short ribs were super tender. I like to eat with a big spoon, ribs, rice, kimchi then dipped in the warm soup, perfect!!! I also appreciate that they serve complimentary warm tea, which was perfect for a cold day like today. Portions are generous, we had plenty of leftovers. Would definitely come back.

    I was in San Bruno today and was craving Korean food. Korean cuisine ranks high on my list due to…read morethe awesome variety of flavors and textures you get with your meal. K. Grill and Tofu House is an excellent, family run establishment that serves up delicious food. The space is very nice and the service is very friendly. I ordered a Dolsot bibimbop because I love food that comes to your table and it's still cooking! I also love that your entree is served with several Banchan (appetizer) dishes. One thing I love about any dining experience is getting a lot of different flavors and textures in one meal. The banchan here had seven different dishes! Of course you get your kimchee, bean sprouts, fish cakes and then some other pickled fruits and veggies. They also gave me what seemed like a roasted sardine? In any case, it was delicious! The Dolsot Bibimbap was a hit! Crispy rice, vegetables, beef and a fried egg on top. Plus, some gochujang sauce to go on it! So yummy! I feel like the prices here are pretty standard for the area, but I do think it's 100% worth the money. Check them out if you're in the area!

    Great neighborhood spot. My parents love it here. We usually get the soondobu, pancake, japchae,…read moredol sot and bulgogi (or galbi). The fish cake banchan is so good and we get at least 3 refills. Service is good put parking is annoying in the area because its not free! Wth, San Bruno Ave... Anyways, a solid 4 stars, no frills type of place!

    Growing up, I used to come here often. I hadn't been back in a few years, but it still tastes just…read moreas delicious as I remember. If you're looking for a quick Korean plate to go, this is definitely a solid spot. I recommend getting an extra side so you'll be full. My favorites are the kalbi, japchae, and spicy pork. I do think the owners may have changed, and the portions seem smaller than they used to be. In photos, the plates look packed, but in person, they don't feel quite as generous. I'd still come back from time to time, just not as often as before. Overall, I still love this place.

    I can't believe I've been coming here for years and never wrote a review. If you're craving…read moreauthentic Korean BBQ, this is the spot. Period. Everything is insanely delicious -- bold flavors, generous portions, and amazing value. The BBQ short ribs are my dad's absolute favorite, and I completely understand why. They're tender, smoky, and packed with flavor. As for me? The spicy pork is unbeatable. Perfectly marinated, perfectly cooked -- no one does it like Bart's. No one. The place smells incredible the moment you walk in -- that mouthwatering BBQ aroma that makes you instantly hungry. The staff is always kind, welcoming, and efficient. Checkout is quick and easy, and even when it's busy, they keep things moving. Parking can be a little tricky, which is why I usually order takeout -- but honestly, it's just as good at home. They do have a few tables if you want to dine in, but either way, you're winning. If this place were closer to my house (and if calories didn't count!), I'd be here every single day. Highly, highly recommended. Try it once and you'll be hooked. Bon Appétit!
