one of the stronger SD matchas and I loved! parking is always weird in north park, but this is worth trying. it leans on the less sweet side, but I have to say I was impressed w/ the matcha concentration!! 🍵 only thing is that I wish they had agave as a sweetener 🥲

really gives korea vibes inside! I think I’ve had more affordable/higher quality meats at some ayce places, but baekjeong is always a fun experience with friends and family. I love their pork belly here, but find the banchan lackluster sometimes. reliable chain tho!!

very cool vibe!! crowd isn’t pretentious which is a plus for an aesthetically pleasing place. drinks were okay and on the pricier side (normal for sd), but I loved the music! can be hard to hear each other even though it’s a bar. great service!

been going to twee for YEARS and it’s always good. my only gripe is how expensive it is 🥲 across the board—matcha/coffee/hojicha is great quality tho!!

moval NEEDED a high quality/homey diner like this. yes, it does get pricey, but the quantity of food matches up! it’s one of those places that will make those niche substitutions and has that true diner feel. 🫶🏼 service is also really great. wait can be long on weekends for bigger parties!

I liked the authenticity of this place and the fresh banchan! 😋 service was great as well. I think I’ve had better yukaejang, but maybe my mistake since this place specializes in gukbap. I would still revisit if I was in the area, but not a wide variety menu if that’s what you’re seeking!

SOOOOO cute in there (my pics did not capture that well this time!) was busy busy busy in there. merch and concept were SO cool and they even had a photobooth!! I’ll be back to capture the vibe. 🙂‍↕️ spacecraft (brow sugar latte + oat + bs foam) = delishhhh

for the price, they really fell off compared to opening. service was a bit slow and meat quality went down (papery/tough) :( used to be my fave in the IE, but now I can’t say so. love the onion salad tho LOL

my favorite bahn mi! fresh bread and veggies 🥬 packed FULL!!! I love that they have more variety compared to what you’re usually limited to at the usual pho/vietnamese restaurant. aka we really need MORE variations of vietnamese restaurant specialties 🫶🏼 but I always get so full and it turns into 2 $5 meals! love it
