San Korean Cafe - San Rafael (CA)

5 /5 Suraj Sanyal: The food was so good that I had to visit here 2 days in a row! Monica, the owner, was helpful and patient as we asked about the various menu options available. We had kimchi soup with banchan & a protein rice bowl with spicy pork, and both were excellent. The beverage options were great as well, including everything from Aloe Vera juice and Korean soft drinks to classics like coffee & boba tea.

5 /5 David Gard: Really great cafe with delicious Korean food. The kimchee was delicious and each dish we ordered was loved by our group of 4. The protein bowl (both chicken and beef) were LOVED. I had the kimchee soup meal and it was amazing. Staff were kind and the prices were reasonable. By the way, at this point all of the negative reviews are from 2+ years ago and the concerns they note (few options and small portions) were not at all what we experienced. A good sized menu for a small cafe and the portions were perfect - and we were hungry. I think they adapted to the feedback. The average stars here should be much closer to 5. If there were any hesitations at all the matcha and boba were not favorites (not bad, but not at the level of the food) We will definitely be back!

5 /5 Clarissa Garvey: Small cafe with excellent food and outdoor seating. There is a wave bike rack outside along the road side of the cafe. Pay up front, food is brought to your table (if eating there), and self-bus plates. We will be coming back, even though we live quite far away.

5 /5 Sasami Ashworth: Cute mom and pop Korean cafe. Feels like a very casual Korean mom meal. Nothing fancy, but definitely prepared with love. Prices very reasonable and all house-made. Good banchan and good texture on the multigrain rice. Healthy and legit. Very happy to see the owner is actually a Korean and not a Caucasian person making mid-fake Asian fast casual food lol. Will def come back and keep supporting this business!

4 /5 Daniel Kofman: I finally found an authentic Korean cafe that makes fresh food! The staff are nice and inviting! They definitely want you to have the best experience possible. Their Bahn Mi’s aren’t the best, but everything else definitely is!
