Welcome to Stone Korean Kitchen

“ Wonderful safe outdoor dinner last night for two of us –– and for a modest $40 (+tip). We had their speciality dish, Korean Bulgogi in a stone bowl (which both keeps it hot and allow the rice to be deliciously crisped on the bottom of the bowl). And we started with Bulgogi Ddukbeki , also served in a large stoneware below, a chicken or beef soup. Both have lots of veggies and were particularly good. We've eaten here before the pandemic and the food was actually even better now perhaps because there are few diners now, which leaves time for even more care. We didn't get the beer last night but from several previous experiences, I can tell you it goes very well with the food and that we've liked every dish we tried. All entrees also come with 4 little complimentary Korean appetizers –– one spicy, one a little sweet (sweet potatoes), one salty and one fried tofu slices, which made the meal interesting. But perhaps best of all is that both the restaurant and the outdoor patio were almost empty at our 5:30 pm time which allowed us to feel very safe. And the view: from the patio where we ate, but also possible from inside, there's a view of the Embarcadero Plaza fountain, the clock and tower of the Ferry Building and the park with trees and lawns to the side of the fountain. If you like Korean food at all –– or adventuring with new cuisine- this is certainly the place to go for a very pleasant evening meal or lunch for the food, the prompt service the view and the moderate price. ”

“ One of the most authentic Korean places in SF! I’ve ordered delivery here multiple times and they’ve all tasted just like home cooking. I’d recommend the kimchi jjigae and ddukbaegi bulgogi - large portions and perfectly done. ”

“ Lunch at one of my pre-covid favorites! So happy they survived. We shared stone sticky wings, fried shrimp, kimchee fried rice and pork trotters. Soooo good. All the little sides were good as well. One of the benefits of being back in SF part time for work is definitely the restaurants and great food! ”

“ I picked this place on a whim and really enjoyed the service and experience. Plenty of little bites plus the meal. Worth a try and they had several regulars come in while I was there. ”

“ Great and delicious korean food. It’s very difficult for us to find the restaurant because it’s in the corner behind the building. Staffs are not good at English. Recommend for quick lunch. ”

“ Excellent food and great service. I had the Kimchi fried rice with additional spicy pork. Make sure to stir the rice for a few minutes as it comes in a stone bowl just as the name of the restaurant suggests, otherwise your bowl will burn the rice and it’ll become hard. I liked their banchan a lot personally, and during the lunch rush this place is pretty empty and I was served my food seemingly in record time. Prices were very fair. Their gyoza was pretty good. Curious about their dubu, but that’s for next time. All in all, I will come back again and bring some coworkers. This place is so good. ”

“ Hidden gem Korean food spot near the Embarcadero! I ordered the spicy pork bibimbap and it was tasty with decent ban chan. The service was good and prices were not too bad as well. It’s hard to find solid Korean food in the area. It’s run by a mom and pop so I think it’s underrated / not well marketed ”

“ Absolutely phenomenal spot! Kinda of tucked away in a corner so it seems like a hole in the wall. Highly recommend for a quick lunch! ”
