We lucked out without a reservation on weeknight for dinner. I love all the side dishes along with beef and pork BBQ. Real mesquite wood grill. The servers were very good, explained dishes and were spot on picking up dishes as we lingered over drinks, food and conversation. Several tables had locals speaking Korean, laughing and enjoying their BBQ. No problem taking leftovers home to enjoy. The tough part was driving home, ohhh so full and happy. We can’t wait to return.

I LOVE this restaurant. I've had the best meals I've had in San Francisco here. The first time I came here, I came with my boyfriend. We're both from Vancouver (although he's originally from Seoul) and we were so in love with the authentic charcoal grills, homey vibe, the awesome banchan, the great quality of the meat, and the really cute ahjummas who were so friendly and served us very well. The prices are also totally reasonable. We ordered galbi. My boyfriend said the flavours were the most authentic he's tasted outside of Korea. We tried a bunch of other restaurants in SF together, but we both agreed this was our favourite :)
The second time I ate food from here, it was actually by delivery! I'm eating it right now. I was so moved I had to write a review. The food is perfectly hitting the spot. I ordered Soon Dubu, and it was delivered piping hot, came with 6 different types of lovely banchan, and perfectly cooked rice (also hot). There's enough for dinner, breakfast, and lunch!
This will always be my #1 recommended restaurant to people in SF!
Love the BBQ. Some of the best, if not the best, Korean BBQ in the City.
Best in the Bay Area. Yep, the decor is Formica but the action is BBQ. It's always a party when you cook your own food at your table. A variety of banchan comes with the BBQ. No, it's not cheap, but it isn't an expensive fancy meal, either. My daughter-in-law is Korean and she turned us on to this place. It can get very busy here, so be prepared to wait for a table!

Korean on the Bay. Following the asian cuisine cravings, we decided to check out another recommended spot. This time we headed over to Brother’s Korean Restaurant. (not to be confused with Brother’s Korean Restaurant II, which is literally only a few doors down on the same street).
The place was pretty much a simple mom and pop place. A short 10 minute wait and we were asked if we wanted a table where we cook our own food or a regular table where they bring the cooked food to us. We were hungry… so we decided on a regular table.
Whether you choose a hearty soup (served in a cast-iron bowl with rice) or korean barbecue, you get 13 different varieties of kimchee (pickled vegetables and meats), each a tasty combination of tastes and textures. Having a few korean friends who taught me what is what, I was happy to be able to order dishes which I recognized and was happy to consume.
The service was fast, and the food was very fresh and tasty.
However, the place was a bit pricy for korean bbq, but definitely worth it. The owner was even kind enough to pass by and give us a noodle dish on the house.. we left with our tummies full and a smile.
Delicious food and great service! We got the 2 person tasting menu (Bulgogi, spicy pork, sundubu) and the yukhoe (raw beef with pear). It was a good amount of food for 3 people and everything was delicious! The spicy pork was a little too strongly flavoured for our taste but was still good. First time trying yukhoe and thought it was very tasty!
Some of the best Korean barbecue I have ever had. The charcoal is superior over the low end gas bbqs at most other kbbq. The service is great, and I leave full and happy every time!
Our favorite Korean bbq place in San Francisco! And one of the few restaurants that do charcoal grilling.
Super delicious Authentic Korean food complete with your own self BBQ pit in the middle of your table. Meals are Served with Roasted Barley herbal tea. The servers are quick and friendly and food is delivered ultra fast!!! I love BROTHERS RESTAURANT!!! SOOOOO DELICIOUS!!!
This place is currently my favorite Korean barbecue place in the Bay Area. I’ve been here twice and both times have been excellent.
Service has always been top-notch, they use real charcoal, and the banchan is really high quality.
This place specializes in marinated meats and you can’t go wrong with whatever you pick. My favorite meats are the kalbi and bulgogi. And I always like to thrown in the steamed egg and tofu soup.
I recommend this place to all my friends and family for a delicious time!
Very delicious. Food is better than what we had in korea. Amazing service. All staffs are very attentive to customers. Because the cooking smell can stay on you for awhile, you should not make a important meeting after visiting this place :)
Dank KBBQ. No all you can eat options, but meat is high quality and flavorful. Limited non-meat options or appetizers (tofu soup and diff types of pancakes).
Great service. We walked in on a Tuesday for a group of 4 and were seated quickly. Grills cook meat evenly and the smoke isn’t as bad as most BBQ places, but be prepared to walk out smelling like Kalbi 😋
I am a repeat customer because I love the food. And if you mentally prepare yourself to smell like bbq from head to toe and you don't mind that, then this is the best spot. Make a reservation or go early, it gets crowded.
Stumbled upon this gem while actually getting pizza nextdoor. Came back the next night to try it out and it did not disappoint! They have individual items as well as the 2-4 person menu items. Very friendly staff, fast and efficient, no long wait times. Family owned, welcomed and greeted us. We sat outside seating because we had our dog with us. Staff even brought out a bowl of water for our dog. It's not all you can eat but they refilled the banchan and anything extra we wanted without charge. We are only visiting SF, not locals so this place is definitely on our must-go for next time we visit.

Wonderful authentic Korean restaurant. It is Korean BBQ but please do not visit and expect it to be an "All You Can Eat" at an AYCE price. You can choose items to bbq a la carte like Bulgogi or Spicy Pork or Chicken. Also a la carte items with favorites like spicy tofu soup and Japchae. Pricier than AYCE KBBQ restaurants but the food authentically delicious.
They still had their parklet open for seating. Although it was cold on Valentine's Day, we chose to sit outside. They had a propane heater by the table and the table bbq also kept you warm. It was really wood charcoal! We really couldn't decide what to order, so when the server came, I asked if it would be weird if we ordered the 4- person dinner for two people. 😆 He said "no" but that it was a lot of food : it contained Bulgogi, galbi, spicy pork (or Chicken, but we chose pork), Japchae and spicy tofu soup. We also ordered the Korean Cheese Corn but for some reason we didnt get it, but we didn't remember we never got it until after we left. We were so full because we ate everything! The 4-person dinner also came with assorted banchan, steamed rice and lettuce leaves. We were in love with the giant bowl of spicy tofu soup. We ate it all, washed it down with a big bottle of Cass beer, and barley tea.
If you are looking for an authentic Korean restaurant, don't hesitate to try Brothers.
