I love Korean food and I love brunch, so I knew I had to check Surisan out during my SF trip. My husband and I ordered the bulgogi fried rice and galbi sando. Both dishes were sooo delicious and I'd highly recommend them! The portion sizes are also pretty big--I actually only ate half of the galbi sando and saved the other half for another meal. Service here is friendly and we were checked up on often. The ambiance here is pretty nice and they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. There was no wait when we came on a Saturday around 11:30AM. Overall, I'd highly recommend checking Surisan out! read more

We went here looking at the photos and relying on fellow Yelpers, but sadly this place wasn't worth the visit. We got poached eggs, I am guessing they poached it with lemon or vinegar because the eggs were almost inedible. They were very sour. The French toast was also okay, not something I would go back for again. Reason for 3 stars - Orange juice and Caramel Latte were super delish! read more

We made a reservation for 10:30am, luckily they have a 15 min grace period bc we were running late lol. There were actually quite a good amount of tables open, so even coming at 10:30am, you might not need a reservation! We ordered the surisan scramble, galbi jjim benedict, and the fried chicken wings with citrus and umami flavors. Everything came out at decent time, and the presentation of all is very pretty! First trying the benedict, the galbi jjim was very nice! Some were soft, but some were basically just like beef cubes lol. The benedict biscuit was a lot tougher than expected, the but the overall flavors were pretty alright. The surisan scramble with millionare bacon was pretty nice! The bacon is more on the sweeter side, but I enjoyed how thick the bacon cuts were. The wings were also good! The crispyness was very nice and the citrus and umami flavor was a nice unique flavor to have. More on the citrusy side, but overall flavor and texture was really nice. The breakfast potatoes on each dish were also pretty huge! Potatoes were a bit starchy tasting, and they are very filling. Overall, the food was pretty good! However, since this is more of a Korean Brunch fusion, I wish the Korean taste would shine out more bc it does taste a lot more milder, maybe to appeal to a wider audience? It doesn't taste like authentic Korean food tbh, but it's still a nice brunch. The prices are a bit high for brunch, especially the galbi jjim benedict, but most people recommended this so I wanted to try lol. Even small size chicken wings and another entree was definitely enough for us 3. read more

Surisan - Surisan Scramble, Fried Chicken Wings, and Galbi Jjim Benedict - Korean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Chicken Cup Bap - was okay lightly spicy but it builds after a good amount of eating. The chicken had a great crunch but a bit overly breaded. Sampler was okay - probably would've skipped it and only gotten the original and rosemary as those were the only ones we really liked. Galbi sando - was not my favorite but the fries were delicious! The bread was a bit consumed by the ingredients inside. (Opted into no whip) Strawberry matcha was nicely balanced. (Opted into no whip) Ube matcha was not my cup of tea it was not well balanced. Service was prompt, staff was nice, and the seating area wasn't overly crowded. read more

Very nice place and food is good not so many options but will definitely try the ither food on the menu. Please add more flavor on the Bulgogi :) Good for a quick korean meal. They close early but service is quick and nice. The place is cozy and clean. I wish I could have enjoy my meal though. I can't eat very quick and someone just felt pressured because they were closing and check has been given on our table after asking if we need anything else. :/ read more

Surisan has been one of my bookmarked places to try for a while and finally got a chance to check them out. Arrived on Saturday at around 11am. We were second in the check-in line, but took some time for them to greet and seat people. We were told all the tables indoor were taken but there was seating available in the upper outside area. Hubs and kiddo shared the Kimchi fried rice and the chicken wings (honey butter / soy garlic). They noted the chicken wings were crispy. They seemed to like the soy and garlic, but would've liked more flavor for the honey butter. I ordered the Creamchi Rice Cake. Kiddo loved the sauce on top of the fried rice. This was a good dish. The rice cake had a good chewy texture and the portion size was pretty decent. read more

We made a reservation and had the option to sit either indoors or outdoors. Our server was incredibly friendly, and we came here to celebrate a birthday! There are a few similar brunch spots in San Francisco that serve millionaire bacon, but this one stands out as an Asian fusion brunch restaurant with a very clean space and a great ambiance. Chicken Wings - We tried both the hot spicy and soy garlic flavors. The wings were well made, crispy, and full of flavor. French Toast - My favorite item! It had a cream filling inside, and I believe the toast was double-fried. The fresh fruit balanced everything nicely, especially with the cinnamon syrup. read more

This place is trendy and big, with ample patio and inside seating. It was quiet on a Monday night and we received our food quickly. I can't say much about the food pictured but the presentation was good and it smelled tasty. I got the Premium Chicken Soup. It was so tasty I forgot to take a picture before digging in. It was hearty, comfy and enjoyable. That being said, this place is nothing special. It's a nice Korean fusion place and I'd go again if I were in the area but wouldn't go out of my way to visit. However if you are in the area, it's a worthy meal. read more

The food was okay. I don't go here very often, it's not my side of town and I don't often have a reason to be in the area. In the past, service was really slow. I once 20 minures of my life to get the bill, pay it and leave. I should have gotten up and asked but I didn't feel like that should be required. Over the years, they've proven to be a great spot to take friends from out of town, s long as those friends are willing, able and excited about Korean fusion. They have a few standards. This Last time I got to hang out, the staff was very accommodating, we were never rushed and the timing of the food, once we ordered as really quick to show up on the table. And they have the bacon. I wish the Bacon came inside the bloody Mary but it doesn't. read more

Went here for both dinner and brunch and I can say that you go to surisan for their delicious Korean fusion brunch goodness! There is a waitlist for the weekends with a 30min est. wait time but it's well worth it! Easy to kill time around the area since you're near the pier to catch a stunning morning view. Staff is very quick & attentive despite their headcount to customer ratio so kudos to that! I've had great quick experiences in both settings. Must gets: Korean fried chicken (soy garlic in particular, skip the honey butter) Galbjim eggs Benedict, the fatty saltiness of the pork really compliments the light and creamy goodness of an eggs Benedict! Hollaindaise sauce was delicious as well!! read more

A classic Asian brunch spot! Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Service was also great. I ordered the Morning Jook, which I loved.

The Dolsot Bibimbap is very good nice mix of vegetables and the beef was really good. Beware the pot stays hot for a long time. I got burned a couple of times. It's amazing because it did not take a long to make but it stays warm. The Millionaire's Bacon was too spicy for me, it was tougher than I expected. It's tough on the ends . The middle part was ok. It reminded me of Beef Jerky. The place is beautiful and spacious. The bathroom was clean and well maintained. read more

I would say the overall aesthetic of the restaurant is very nice whether you sit indoors or outdoors. Went on a Sunday for brunch around 12:30 pm with a reservation, but even if we didn't have a reservation it seems like there wouldn't have been a wait, which is good. Our waiter was great and I appreciated him since he was very straightforward and honest about his opinions when we asked what was popular. We decided to order the K-tacos, Chicken and Ricotta Waffle, and the Blackstone Benedict. While the presentation of the food was pretty, unfortunately the waffle was soggy and not crispy at all. The blackstone benedict was good, the bacon flavor is rich and sweet. However, the yukon potatoes were disappointing as the outside was only slightly crunchy, yet the inside felt like it wasn't cooked long enough since it wasn't soft or flaky. Ultimately, this is a good spot for brunch atmosphere and presentation wise, but the food itself is just average. 3.5/5 stars read more

Fantastic Korean Brunch. Banana latte was a hit. The millionaire bacon is probably one of the best that I've ever had. At first, a sweet flavor that quickly shifts to a spicy kick. I would even suggest maybe only ordering the bacon if you aren't that hungry. Overall, really good food and would suggest you try if you are in the area. read more

Best brunch I've had in a long time. Surisan excelled with food quality, flavor and service. I got two scrambled eggs, popover, potatoes and the Millionaire bacon. I can see why Surisan is known for its Millionaire bacon because it is the best I've ever had. It's coated with brown cinnamon sugar and cayenne pepper. The balance between sweet and spicy was delicious. The eggs were fluffy, the popover was airy and sweet and the potatoes were crisp and flavorful. I also got an americano, the coffee was bold and smooth. I also love how close Surisan is to Pier 39. It was nice walking around/sightseeing after eating! read more

Cute interior decor, but ordered takeout Popover Millionaires candy bacon: Nice candied flavor with a slight spicy kick. Galbi sando: It probably tastes better in-person as the bread didn't travel as well. However, the flavors were solid. Bulgogi japchae: Flavors were great. I was surprised to see rice on the bottom, so would have preferred more noodles instead. Overall, a solid restaurant in a touristy location that could thrive in many neighborhoods. read more

Stopped by for a Sunday noon brunch/lunch and it was busy and packed! I came with a large group of friends, so we did have a bit of a wait before we got seated. We had a very kind and friendly server, but because it was busy, service was a bit slow and some dishes took a while to come out. The food was delicious though! I ordered a Galbijim Eggs Benedict and it was sooo good! The braised short rib was flavorful and paired well with the rich egg and sauce. The potatoes were okay, but overall it was a great dish. I will say, this is definitely a very heavy dish HAHA. It will likely fill you up and give you leftovers! I washed my meal down with a matcha mojito without whipped cream. Also good! Overall this place was good! It was a bit expensive, but for the dish I got, I would say it was worth it. Might try coming at a different time/day next time though :) read more

We came for the wings, but the tofu soup was the fan favorite! The wings were flavorful and drenched with sauce! If you like it really wet, you'll love these wings. The tofu soup was very comforting and paired well with kimchi and white rice with furikake. My friend also ordered tacos, but those were okay.The jap chae was also pretty good. Overall, the food was okay, but I would definitely come back for the tofu soup! read more

Second visit after many years. The place still looks the same. It is closed to Giradheli square. We made reservation a day earlier. This restaurant used to be very busy one. When we arrived we were the only party but the other tables filled up pretty quickly. Looks like this restaurant has relation with Sweet Maple in Palo Alto as they serve similar dishes like pimped up ramen and the millionaire bacon. We ordered couple dishes like banchan , bbq set tor 1 galbi, Korean Fried Chicken, dolsot bimbimbap snd pimped up ramen. All are yummy especially the fried chicken. The pimped up ramen is unique and bacon is yummy. Galbi and dolsot bimbimbap are yummy too but not that special. Usually banchan is free at most of Korean restaurant but you have to pay at this restaurant and I don't think it is re fillable. The service was great and our server was friendly. Overall it was nice dinner and catch up with our cousin from overseas. read more

Brunchy vibes with a Korean twist. Got here on a rainy Sunday - luckily had rsvp and was sat immediately. Service was great had my water topped off quite often throughout my meal. Ended up ordering kimchi fried rice, dolsot bap, and blueberry stuffed crunch French toast. The fried rice was pretty good, as was the dolsot bap - mainly cuz it was freezing cold and these were sizzling hot. However, the star for me was the French toast - the texture was amazing, as was the sweetness / fresh fruitiness of it. Would def recommend this dish. Overall - pretty good! May do the American dishes next time around as I'm hopeful from the French toast experience! read more

We had a delicious lunch at Surisan. My family ordered the French toast, chicken wings, dumpling soup, million dollar bacon, pork katsu, and kimchi fried rice.

We'll be back if we're ever in the neighborhood. read more

Surisan is my favorite place to eat when I'm in the bay. I remember coming here with my sister and started bringing all my friends every time we would travel to the bay. My favorites are the ricotta pancakes, the millionaire bacon, and the kimchi fried rice. The ricotta pancakes are so fluffy and just the right amount of sweet. The millionaire bacon is nice and thick and I love that there's a sweetness to it. The kimchi fried rice is so homey and familiar. The service is amazing and quick. The servers are all really nice and attentive. Surisan is also nice that it's by the water so you can check out the pier after. read more

We came here on a weekday afternoon to celebrate our anniversary. The dining area was super cozy and romantic. We were greeted upon walking in. It took a little longer than expected to order. We ordered the dolsot bibimbap, fries, kimchi, and a loco moco. The bibimbap isn't your traditional korean bibimbap but it was super yummy! Loco moco was delicious and the patty was tender. The fries were extra crispy and the best part was the kimchi. I'm super picky and hesitant when ordering kimchi but so glad I did. However, the service was not that great. It is a little slow and no one really came to refill our waters. You'd get lucky if a different server were to come by to refill it. read more

Matcha coconut cloud drink and japchae well liked by kiddo. I ordered the 28$ hot stone spicy pork rice bowl. Spicy pork was the pork belly. Rice absorbed the pork fat. Bowl not sizzling rice at bottom- I misinterpreted the description. Egg on top was delicious. Millionaire thick cut bacon- it similar to the lazy dog cafe with a Korean twist on spice. Some people yum that. Service- one person for service. 1.5 hours for a quick lunch- if that's your plan- this is the place. Ambiance: clean, spacious wood lines. Outdoors available too. I'm just a tourist- so difficult to say if I will be back when there's many options. I tried it due to concierge recommendations. Nice people inside. Parking is a nearby lot by the wharf. Service mandate is not a tip, so tip on top of that too. read more

overall Had high hopes but food was overpriced for performance. Large portions which I appreciated but the food was pretty mediocre . We came at a weird time of day so maybe I could excuse them. Pretty empty at 11:30 on a Friday so good time to go. I wanted to like this place and would go here if someone wanted to for their inventive flavors but it didn't pay off for me this time. Chicken Cup Bap - 23 dollars for ramen mixed in with rice? I understand there was chicken. This was probably our favorite thing we had but felt like it could have used some more fresh flavors K Tacos - fine. Chicken flavor was good and fries were fresh. Liked the portion of avocado. My cousin had these before and said they were better last time so take with a grain of salt Bacon - had one bite. It was not hot and was pretty tough and hard to eat. I liked the marinade though. Our coffees were also pretty watery read more

Thai One On From the owners of Sweet Maple & Kitchen Story comes one of the more uniquely SF restaurants we've come across. Surisan features Cali-Korean cuisine and even offers up a unique Korean-themed brunch. After seeing that, I knew this was where I wanted to go for my birthday weekend brunch. The Good: *Outdoor dog-friendly seating *Reservations via Yelp and/or OpenTable *Full bar *Their Millionaire's Bacon™ was featured on Discovery's "United States of Bacon." While I didn't have it here, I've had it at a Kitchen Story and it was #worthit *Service was fast and friendly *Strawberry Matcha Latte was way better than anticipated, as the strawberry base was made with fresh strawberries and wasn't sickeningly sweet. *Those crispy Yukon potatoes that came with my Benny were simply fantastic; crispy, drained well, and cooked perfectly. For an extra Korean treat, get a side of their house kimchi and add it to the taters. You're welcome. *Both our eggs were cooked to Yolky perfection... *Carissa loved her Dolsot Bibimbap The Meh: *As with all things SF--and especially in the Fisherman's Wharf area--parking can be an issue. However, we lucked out and found street parking and paid only a few bucks to park right in front. *I wish my Kalbijjim Benedict would have had more of that Kalbijjim flavor and possibly infused it into the hollaindaise sauce, as opposed to just throwing a few bites Kalbijjim meat around a Benedict. Don't get me wrong, it was still delicious but I didn't really get that fusiony taste and feel from the dish. The Ugly: *While we had no issues with the host, don't mess with him. I just caught the tail end of a conversation he was having with some other patrons and, let's just say, his word is final. ;) Conclusion: Fantastic Korean eats in a swank, hip location. read more

I've bookmarked this spot for a loooong time, finally got the chance to try it out. Super conveniently located across the street to fisherman's wharf. And the reservation on Yelp is very handy, it's a spacious restaurant, there was no wait for a holiday lunch for 2 adult plus 1 baby. The interior is very cozy and chil, we stayed on the patio which has two levels. Millionaire's bacon Million Dollar Bacon is pretty good, but too sweet to my liking. The Boosted Jook is really nice for a chilly winter morning (tho it's sunny today), the seafood pancake is loaded with mussels, baby squid and shrimps, it has a bit too much cabbage which reminded me of Japanese okonomiyaki. I love the ube latte, you can really taste the purple yam flavor, which they had it hot too. read more

I was really looking forward to eating here as I saw such a large amount of great reviews. I ended up ordering the stuffed French toast and the country Benedict. The French toast was very crispy and had a great texture, but overall lacked flavor. The cou try Benedict was also very average and while it was not a bad dish, it was not anything to write home about. I also ordered the Ube latte and was given an incredibly watered down coffee. Additionally, we came quite early and there were only about 3 other parties in the building but the service was still quite slow and I ended up having to flag the waiter down to get my check. read more

My family's go-to for special occasions! We went on Father's day right at 5pm and it wasn't too busy throughout the entire time we were there. The service was fast since we ordered before all other parties, and the dark-ish atmosphere elevated the place. Street parking can be tricky, but there are paid garages nearby. Everything was delicious! We always get the Pimped Up Ramyun and Korean Fried Chicken when we're here. The only real issue with this visit was that the rim of my water cup had leftover residue from whatever was served in it before. I immediately tasted salt and lemon. read more

With a bustling crowd, you'd think there's something worth raving about but the food and service was mediocre. It doesn't help either that almost everything on the menu is steeply priced. It is a great environment and location so I'll give credit where it's due. I got the tofu soup and it was a newer item on the menu. Overall was bland. We also ordered their "famous" millionaire's bacon sample platter. I don't get why people rave over the bacon. Nothing special but I guess the rosemary was good. Service was slow but it was due to them looking stretched thin. This place does get busy and you want to make a reservation. read more

Amazing brunch in San Francisco! We found this place on Yelp when we were visiting the pier area. It's a Korean fusion type brunch place that is upscale inside. I got the lemon ricotta pancakes to split with my son which was delicious and fluffy. It came with berries. The galbi jjim Benedict was very decadent and delicious. The millionaire's bacon was expensive and we probably could have done without as well as the banana latte. read more

Went here for an anniversary date and left satisfied. Nice atmosphere and food was great. Would come back just for their bacon!

We came on a Saturday morning and it wasn't too busy surprisingly! Perhaps due to the rain that day. A trendy Korean fusion spot with ample indoor and outdoor seating. Servers were nice and overall vibes were great. I think with Asian fusion places it's hard to balance the bold Asian flavors and meld it with American classics. I felt like the Korean dishes were just okay flavor wise - seafood pancake was a new item that we tried, but I think overall I prefer the more traditional Korean restaurant seafood pancake. I also ordered the MBLT wrap which I thought would taste more "fusion" since it included the millionaire's bacon but it was truly just a wrap with the standard American ingredients. My absolute favorite item we ordered was the Millionaire's Candy. I am a sucker for sweet and savory items and this was so so delicious. If you like your food on the sweeter side, this candied bacon is absolutely for you. I could eat an entire tray of that. I'll have to come back to try other main menu items. The table next to me was raving about the Chicken Cup Bap so I'll be back to try that! I think it's in a great location and fun spot to bring out of town folks as well. read more
