Came here for a casual dinner and loved it. Super creative Korean small plates that actually deliver. The truffle bosot fry was insanely good--crispy, rich, and perfectly balanced. And the spam roulette with wasabi was such a fun surprise, with just the right kick. Service was great, very attentive Great vibe, great food--definitely coming back. read more

Easy seating (and parking) for an early dinner on a Monday night. The restaurant was dark, and we noticed an installation on the wall. It turns out people collect their bottle caps in clear capsules. Fun idea. We were very pleased to hear Woodz for most of our dining experience. I love jokbal, and I've never had it served in this style. Usually I've had large platters of sliced meat, but this was a bowl of the boney parts. It was so delicious. It melted right off the bone, and it had a little heat. I want to go back for this alone. Also enjoyed a dish of kimchi fried rice and sotteok sotteok with a happy hour priced soju. read more

Fun place to come to for food and drinks. Food was pretty good for the most part. - Soy garlic k-fried chicken: this was good and juicy. I like the wing pieces. Super crispy and flavorful. - Bossam: was alright. About 5 pieces. Came with sauce, but could have used more marination and flavor. Also wish there was a lettuce to wrap with. - Pork bangbang: this was tender and super flavorful. - Stairway to heaven: this was a nice surprise. The sushi was presented in a really cool way and the quality was really good. - Fresh lemon soju: I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it looked like lemon slices in soju. But it was really good and I appreciated the freshness of the lemon. Overall, it was a great place for a GNO. read more

I recently visited Yasijiang Korean Restaurant in San Francisco, and overall the food was really good, though the wait was quite long. The place was very busy when we arrived, and we had to wait a while before being seated. It seems pretty popular, so I'd recommend coming earlier or being prepared for a bit of a line. read more

Since I moved to the Bay area from Korea, I constantly tried Korean restaurants. I actually was surprised that why we don't have great Korean restaurants in the city, compare to LA and NY. But Yasijang was great! All staffs were super kind and attentive and the food was very authentic and I could literally tell they use good ingredients! The chef shared the he's really trying to make a better authentic & quality Korean food. It's great for groups and try bunch of different dishes together! Don't forget to make so-mac! read more

Wow, this place is a 10/10. Authentic, delicious and great service. Everyone was so kind, attentive and enthusiastic. Our server even surprised me with a birthday sweet treat and candle :) so kind. We felt like we were in Korea/Japan being here. Love the fusion of options to choose from, food to drinks! We got the odeng fish cake soup, spicy tuna tower, 1,000 roll, and sashimi salad. Also got enoki fry and lion king not pictured as we devoured too quickly. Everything was 10/10!! Only thing I'd say is that the Lion King was too sweet for me but was still good. Got the glass cold sake which was nice. Kirin and Asahi are classic choices. Would definitely be back here!! read more

I came for dinner (made a reservation) before the symphony (about 1.5 block walk from Herbst theatre). From the restaurant's website, I imagined the restaurant to be much larger. Instead, it was small - probably sits 25 (tightly) without the bar and maybe 20 with the bar. My table was next to the bar - felt cramped sitting in the corner - that's why it is a 4 star rating. Food was served temperature hot with kindness. Flavors, smell and presentation were good. I would recommend the sausage basket, a variety of different sausages, for an appetizer. It's a good segue into your main entrees which are small shared plates. They have a bar challenge - filling up a vase with empty bottle caps. Thought that was fun and an incentive/motivation for returning. The restaurant definitely would be a good bar place to hang out and simply have fun. Service was excellent - orders kept coming out as well as for deliveries. The wait staff always had a smile and kept asking if we are okay or if we need anything else. I thought the restaurant stools were unusual. Since there is no space to put your coat, purse, bags, etc., the stools open up for storage. I thought this was cleaver. read more

Just had an amazing Korean meal and the service was great. Everything was delicious. The bulldak chicken was a standout - super crispy with a fantastic spice and great texture. The corn cheese is always a classic and definitely one of my favorites. We also tried the deep fried rice cakes and sausages which were very good, especially with the glaze. They were soft on the inside but perfectly crispy on the outside. The budae jjigae (army soup) was also good, with the sausage and spam being perfect for the rainy weather. The musubi roulette which comes with 6 pieces and only one contains wasabi. So interesting and fun! The interior is lively and cool with all the led signages. I plan to come back for happy hour soon! Cheers! read more

This place was so good and so affordable. Everything on the menu is extremely shareable and great with friends. My friends and I practically ordered the menu but the few standouts were the wings, the wagyu fried rice, and the stairway to heaven. So affordable for so much sushi. And the fish tasted super fresh. Loved all of it. read more

Nice lil retro cozy pocha spot at civic center that has your usual Korean bar dishes but also a variety of sushi rolls, nigiri's, and omakase style selections! Came on a Fri night and got a bar seat fairly quickly but would def make a reservation as the place looks full. Had our order taken pretty quick and the food came out pretty quick as well. We ordered the budae jjigae and grilled pork belly with kimchi. The jjigae was super thick and flavorful, they didn't skimp on the meat at all! Pork belly was nice and juicy with a good amount of crisp! Saw a lot of more enticing dishes come out to other tables so would def come back to try! read more

definitely a hidden gem! a korean pocha/ japanese spot that has fun dishes like spam roulette. the staff was attentive and ensured our tteokbokki was cooked well! we got the: - juksuk tteokbokki ($27): huge portion, definitely must share. I have a decent spice tolerance but thought the sauce was quite spicy, be warned - odeng tang ($20): quite comforting and nostalgic - mini jeon ($10): definitely not worth it, really tiny portion and a bit mushy read more

Food - 5/5 - mmm...mmHmm...I like this place because it was a unique blend of Japanese and Authentic Korean dishes. I'm a big fan of soup-- NAGASAKI CHAMPON--had seafood, noodles and a light white broth (not collagen enriched) but it was still good. Daughter enjoyed her--milk yogurt soda, calamansi Korean soda and veggie bibimbap with bulgogi + tofu extra. Service - 5/5 - I love how the Korean lady was so polite and came back to our table --to ask if everything was okay. Wasn't sure if this was a kid friendly place --as it looked more like a Korean bar --but the owner gave my daughter a bunch of delicious Korean sodas. Ambiance - 5/5 - I like the ambiance and the nightlife--it was a horrible walk on Eddy St. Tenderloin but this food was worth the walk. Nice place to party with co-workers or close friends--on Van Ness Ave. read more

Cozy Korean spot near Civic Center, serving comfort Korean classics and a variety of tapas! Great service and didn't have to wait on a Thursday night. The Bulgogi nachos are beautiful, and the bulgogi serving is plentiful! The nachos themselves are delightfully roasted. The truffle enoki is a MUST if you're a truffle fan. Reminds me of the Mensho Ramen enoki appetizers! We also got the 49s roll, beautifully arranged with a refreshing bite of lemon on top. The kimchi fried rice is also a classic you can't miss. read more

We came here as a walk in and was not disappointed! This place is a pocha that also serves sushi. I don't always have high hopes for places that serve too many different cultures cuisines, but this place does it well! The fried chicken was perfectly crispy and battered. We ordered a pork bbq dish as well. The star of the show was the huge sushi platter. All of the fish was so fresh and the poke salad had the perfect amount of spice. My friends and I were all impressed by this spot and will be back! read more

Walked over Yasijang from Civic Center BART Station and that was an adventure of its own. Yasijang is so aesthetically pleasing and felt quite homey. Lots of decor, the lights, not so bright, perfect place to have a drink and some great food. I started with one of their specials (written up on a board)- the watermelon soju. So refreshing, especially after that walk. My friend and I shared the following items - Korean Fried Chicken- we got the sweet spicy flavor and it was really good! Not the most crispness wings, but the flavor was definitely there. Hamachi Roll - Mmm yellowtail! So interesting how this place has a mix of Japanese and Korean foods. Yum. We both enjoyed the roll. Corn Cheese - not the best, but still pretty good. Mild-ish on the flavors, but I do love corn and cheese! The sashimi salad- forgot what it was called, but we both weren't really a fan since it was way too saucey and took away from the flavors of the leaves and raw fish. Service was great in the beginning and food came out really quickly! It took a while for our waters to be refilled later on, but all good. It seems their army soup dishes are popular here. If I return, will def try one of those! read more

Stumbled across this place on Van Ness. Perfect spot for drinks with friends. I ordered Wang Jokbal, Soju and a beer. Jokbal is excellent. Perfectly cooked. Great flavor. Plus garlic, special sauce, jalapeño and kimchi. The only part missing are my buddies. I will have to bring them next time. Come here with friends. Have a good time. read more

1/24/26 Saturday - Arrived at about 5:15pm, 15-min after it opened. There were two other couples there. We were seated immediately and ordered the Kimchi fried rice, which was at least a medium spice. Threw me off about as everything on the menu that had spice was marked as such, except THIS. I couldn't eat it as it was too spicy. And I normally do eat kimchi. We asked it we could switch it out for the bulgogi fried rice. They weren't willing to do that but they were willing to give a generous discount ($7 off?) of that one item, as a consultation. The friend chicken was amazing and so was the yellow tail sushi we ordered. I'd gladly go back and highly recommend. read more

3rd time at Yasijang and overdue for a review. The food here is great (good variety of Korean bar snacks and comfort dishes, plus sushi), a big drink menu for the soju lovers, and open late in the heart of the city. I've come with friends for quiet dinners and nightcaps after hitting the bars on Polk St. late at night. The service is always friendly and prompt, and the atmosphere is fun. The sushi is also really fresh for a place that isn't solely focused on sushi. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped here for dinner after spending a lovely day crocheting around the city and before a lovely night going to see the symphony. Ordered kimbap and the "kraken". Both were great - I quite like very seafoody soupy things. We didn't go too hard on the drinks (one soju + beer), but lining the wall were jars of bottle caps from people who seem to go pretty hard regularly. Love that neighborhood bar feel - impressive for a place that opened so recently. I've been to a punch of Korean bars (pocha?) in Oakland, but this was the first I've been to in city. "Do they ever explain what bulgogi is to you?" - boy who they probably assumed does not go to many Korean bars. read more

Mini Jeon contained ample squid, was well-fried but we did not really enjoy its gluey mouthfeel. Budae jjigae was a delicious eat with strong gochujang presence and sufficiently-portioned (at its price) but lacked greens (with the exception of scallion). Extraordinary service (almost compulsively attentive) by the friendly waitress. The restaurant's interior has an inviting, cozy and very attractive decor. read more

Had dinner on a Friday as a party of 4 and were seated right away at 6 pm with no reservations. By the time we left around 7:30 people were waiting to be seated as the restaurant had filled up. Service was attentive and friendly. The food arrived quickly after ordering. We ordered the corn cheese, sotteok sotteok (2 orders), mini jeon, jeyuk bokkeum, and bulgogi fried rice to share. It was plenty of food for everyone. We also arrived at happy hour so were able to get beer and wine at a great price. Highly recommended if you have a craving for Korean cuisine. read more

We came here on a Saturday at around 8:30 pm. We called 30 minutes before arriving with a party of 7 and they were able to accommodate us without any problems. The inside was small and homey. I got to try the jjamppong and the kimchi fried rice. The jjamppong was great. I like spicy and it was decently spicy, and the seafood tasted very fresh. The one thing I would complain about though is that they didn't give us much noodles. Kind of unfortunate since they were very generous with the seafood. The kimchi fried rice was also great. I don't like when Korean restaurants douse sesame oil in kimchi fried rice, but this one was well balanced. We also got soju and beer. The prices on these were comparable to other pochas/Korean restaurants in the area. read more

Surprised at how selective their service is. Was seated at the bar. I ordered a bottle of soju. The older waitress asked what I would like for food. I told her I wouldn't be ordering food at the moment and just drinking. She scolded that I had to "ask first", "this is a restaurant not a bar". First off, didn't know it was a thing, that I wasn't allowed to order drinks at a restaurant that served drinks. Second, I have never been told that at any other establishment. Once she walked off, I knew I would never be returning and will definitely never recommend anyone to this restaurant again. I asked the other waitress for my check, paid for my $14 bottle of soju and left with it in hand. When I turned around to leave, there were plenty of empty tables, so I wasn't taking up any seats for "food" customers. Also, there is a whole wall dedicated to bottle caps were drinking is encouraged. read more

Stopped by here on a Saturday evening and thankfully only had a few minute wait. We ordered the Buldak with Cheese Corn, K-Fried Chicken, Fried Enoki Mushroom, Bulgogi Nachos and the Dragon Roll. I'm not a big fan of spicy foods so I was glad they were able to provide the Buldak without the spicy sauce, though I wish there was a substitute sauce since the chicken ended up being dry. The K-Fried Chicken flavor was good but the coating kept falling off the chicken and I wish it was more integrated with the actual chicken.. it was also a little oily for my liking :( The rest of the dishes were great and staff members were so attentive and helpful. Def a cute dinner spot, so we'll be back to try other dishes :) read more

Came to grab a quick dinner after our initial plans fell through. Between 2 people we shared the army stew and bossam for an app. The army stew was great and definitely large enough to share with 2-3 people. It came with ramen noodles and rice cakes along with spam, sausage, beans and onions. Such a classic bar food dish! The bossam was good as well and fairly tender. I do wish it came with lettuce to wrap the pork slices in to lighten the dish. Overall fun spot for eating and drinking. We were going to a bar after but I wish I would have gotten some soju as well. read more

Fun place to grab some eats with friends. I categorize Yasijang as Korean comfort food and by that I mean a place to indulge in wings, soups, noodles, cheese, and other Korean food goodness while enjoying drinks as well. I got the usuals- wings and budaejiggae. Unfortunately I came too late (7:30'ish) to grab their wang jokbal. That dish is limited and was sold out by the time I got there. Got a different jokbal dish instead that I still thought was pretty good. I ended up enrolling in their drinking challenge too. They give you a giant jar with your name on it that you place your sake bottle caps into. They keep this jar on the wall and will add to it every time you visit. The reward? To be honest, I'm not sure because they told me it's a surprise -_- But I'm excited to keep coming back until I find out. read more
