Decoration of this place is lovely! And huge win for staying open late! I tried their Chicken Gizzard Stir Fry and the Calamari Stir Fried, it was tasty. I definitely want to come back and try some other dishes more typical dishes to compare to the other Korean places I have been to.

Amazing place - I can’t think of another place where you only need to spend $15 per person and be so satisfied. Have the stew and you won’t regret it. Everything else is good too but the screw will have to be the center piece. 100% recommended! Ps, the place is packed, come early or super late, or you’ll have to wait for 1 hr or so.

We were looking for a late night spot after an event we went to and a friend of mine suggested this place. We didn't drive but there was plenty of parking out front. We came here toward their later hours and were quickly sat. Food was solid - had udon, wings, beef kimchi fried rice, and potato croquettes. The udon and fried rice were the tastiest of the bunch. We liked that there was a button to call a server too. Overall, it's a good spot to grab a late night meal.

I'm surprised I haven't reviewed Toyose as I've been going here for over ten years! There's been a lot of changes throughout the years, lots of memories, staff changes, lots of price increase, some of the dishes quality has degraded, but this continues to be a great night spot with friends. Plus a walk to Ocean Beach always clears up any buzz! The staff from the earlier days were more fun and seemed to enjoy working there. The staff from recent years seems like they just want to get paid and be out. I feel them. Maybe management has changed or it's just different times. My favorite dishes here are the Fried Chicken, corn cheese and spam stew, but I'll eat just about everything on their menu honestly. All in all, of course I would come back. I always do.

Great Korean comfort food. The kimchi pancakes and wings were excellent. Stew was really good too and the spicy pork was amazing. Service was just okay, but the cozy vibe makes it worth it.

This place was introduced to me by someone close and I have been here a couple of times now. Upon arrival, there are lines or a wait for the most part, and you can add yourself to their waiting list. The interior is basically like the garage of a house, which makes it pretty unique. The cuisine here is Korean, their menu consists of small bites, casseroles, barbecue dishes, soju and much more. You do have to be the age of twenty one or older to have any alcoholic beverages here and they do check ID. The staffs here are welcoming, well trained and understanding where I never encountered any issues during any of my visits. The food is fresh daily, made to order which is just the way I like it and I never mind the wait since I am a very patient person. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a laid back spot, if you are willing to try something new or if you just so happen to be in the area. I definitely will be back to tryout the other delicious options they have to offer.

Every dishes are tasty and flavourful. The servers are very prompt and accurate. Addition that they open until late when the whole city dinner is closed early. I asked them to cook food for my dad special dietary, they happy to cook it and it came out perfect. Will be back when visit SF again and will recommend to everyone i know. Good job!
