Reviews for Daeho Kalbijim & Beef Soup in San Francisco, CA
Food: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 3.5/5 Overall: A wee bit expensive and a long wait for what it is. Would I come back: Maybe... if I was being treated out to the place. The extended review... Food: Kalbi Jim with Extra Meat - 3.5/5 - So I'd say thetaste itself is a 5 but the pricing is definitely a 2. The food itself is very tasty and rich. But between two people, I'vepaid less for a lot more portion size. Usually I'm able to get something for half the price and take some home but here thewhole thing was finished. Good quality, but I wouldn't wait or pay so much for this. Service: 4/5 - Friendlyservice. Ambiance: 3/5 - It's a bit cramped and packed! Read more
Great place to come with friends or family to share a comforting Korean meal. The braised beef with oxtail is what we had and it... was delicious. Next time I’ll be getting just the braised beef as it’s the best. I would recommend extra meat don’t skimpon yourself. Read more
Ordered the galbijjim with cheese and rice cakes, and it was phenomenal. It’s the most popular dish and what the restaurant is... known for. Highly recommend! The staff are efficient and friendly. There are multiple tables for parties of 6 and 8. It feelslike their target customers are groups of 4-8. The music wasn’t too loud and the washrooms are clean. Read more
Amazing. Quite possibly the best Korean food I have ever eaten in San Francisco. Beware that there is almost always a line and... you’ll need to join the waitlist ahead of time on yelp. Luckily the service is fast and the food is served quickly. Read more
9/18/2022. My wife and I are on vacation in San Fran and wanted to try this place out. First night we stop by for dinner and the... wait time was over an hour, so we went elsewhere. 2nd night we stop by and there were people waiting outside so we did not takea chance. 3rd day, we decided to go early for lunch right before they were open, and we finally got in to eat. We can see whythe wait time was long as the inside is small. We ordered the Braised Beef Ribs and Ox tail with cheese and purple rice. Themelting of the cheese was an experience and fun to watch as they torch it in front of you. The food was amazing. I was skepticalof the cheese, but I actually enjoyed it. The beef and oxtail meat were nice and tender. The soup was full of flavor. The sidesI tasted it and didn't care for, as it seems to be put together fast, not much flavor. Service was okay, everyone seems busy, ifyou need service, you'll have to flag them down, but they'll get you right. Overall great food, glad we were able to enjoy itwhile we were on vacation.

Loved this place!!! We got there right at opening and there was no one but a second after 3 other couples showed up. The service... is quick and they know exactly what works for them. The food was fall off the bone perfection. Definitely come with more thantwo people or just enjoy the leftovers. Read more
I mean this place is just insanely good. The best meat-forward korean food I have had in SF. Would come back in a heartbeat. I... was happy for days after this Kalbijim. It was enough for two full meals for two people for us. I guess we eat somewhat smallportion. Service was not amazing b/c they have so many customers all at once but absolutely worth it, with food this goodnothing else matters. Read more
A very good but pricey Korean comfort food spot. Some really well cooked ox knee and good soju all in the heart of Japantown.... Everything is covered in a steaming hot delicious BBQ sauce, I didn’t get the cheese on top but maybe next time. The ban chanwas solid but I could’ve used a bit more as the meat and vegetables were on the thicker/sweeter side. Definitely want to comeback and try the beef soup but the only thing holding me back for the time being is the price. It’s a commitment restaurantfor sure. Read more
