Zzan in San Francisco

TL/DR; One of the best meals I've had in San Francisco. The service could be better but the food is so good you won't care. We had the breaded fried pork which was nothing short of excellent and pre sliced into perfect portions. Well seasoned and so light. The chicken wings were so good I immediately apologized for ever questioning why we ordered them. Do yourself a great favor and order the corn. It's like Mac and cheese, but with corn. Incredible. I can't wait to return.

I’m Korean and I found this place really authentic and delicious. Doesn’t look fancy or anything on the outside, but its really good!

The soup is good but the bibimbab was ok Bibim was served in a metal bowl so the rice got cold quick. If you opt for the hot stone bowl it probably would be better, But an extra 2dollars just to be severed hot is kind of a smack in the face. Over all just ok value not there

This place gives excellent service as well as tasty meals. One of my favourite places ever. The food and drinks arrived rapidly and the prices were affordable. Will definitely recommend this restaurant.

We have spent great evening here. Food was very good and tasty, and staff was nice. Music was quite loud, though. Don’t get there if you wish a quiet evening...

Great Korean food and service with a modern and pleasant atmosphere.

So yummy!!! I received alot of help when I couldn't figure out what to pick. Very good service.

Good food, mediocre service.A lot of Koreans eating in there so you know it’s good. Food is good, lots of selection and tasty. Though the service was lacking. Took a while to place my order (or grab someone’s attention to come) but once the order was placed it was quick. Portions are large, I would recommend sharing. We were 2 and had way too much leftover. We had: Veggie pan fried dumpings (which was more deep fried than pan fried though), fried glass noodle wrapped with seaweed as appetizers and then the beef stone bibimbap and the veggie fried rice. They were all delicious and tasty. I quite enjoyed the vegetable fried rice more than the bibimbap actually, it had a lot of oil in it which made it tasty.

Good food but pricey

Quick friendly service and good food for the price.

SF Def lacks Korean bars and restaurants. This is a mix of the two. The food is pretty good albeit pricy if you go with tofu or Army stew. Meaning 30 a dish. They are sharable so that brings it down a bit. The drinks are great.small little place but love the chill atmosphere.

The food is good, but like other reviews have said, (I think depending who you are) there’s a chance the waiter will skip your table for others that came in after you before finally acknowledging you.

Best you are gonna get for a korean bar experience. Staff is friendly. Yogurt Soju will get you in trouble quick!

Quick and fast service, they are also friendly. Food and the side dishes are delicious and I enjoy every meal. Clean and had water at the table. My overall, I would go back and enjoy more of there meals. 5/5 Stars! 👍😁

Great food, perfectly spicy and happy staff. Our first time eating Korean food and we were not disappointed.

Great service and awesome food. Ordered the Chicken bibimbap and fried octopus. Really flavorful and great recommendations from the server.

There is only a few short words....freakin n awesome! Your staff are great, fun and relaxing, sing if you want! Eat the great food...seafood pancakes first class. I had spicy squid n could not complain at all. Just go there peeps!

Best fish egg stew I tried. Boiled squid was great. Ice chilled soju bottle is better than bar cocktails around the area.

I just discovered this place yesterday while walking through the neighborhood and decided to get some beef, chicken and shrimp skewers to go. I wanted a meaty snack and the prices were unbeatable. Had a frosty Lagunitas IPA on tap while I waited for my skewers and ended up crushing through their incredible menu. The skewers were excellent and with so many other great items to try on the menu, I had to go back today. Today I ordered the pan-fried lunch with tofu and was quite impressed. The vibe, music and service here rocks and I'll be back many more times to continue through the menu.

Last night in town. My wife and i were looking for some late night food after the play. The food was.excellent. We had skewers. Dumplings and some kimchee fried rice and another dish. Loved it. Service was great too! I highly recommend ZZAN.

Love this place. Ate here 2 times and everything is super good

Excellent and delicious food, I like the vibes the spot has, and the workers were super nice. Will surely come back.

Really nice bibimpap at affordable price

Decent spice, slightly under-seasoned but overall great spot with great prices.

Nothing to say. It's the best Korean Restaurant I have ever been

Spicy pork is my go-to. Open late, fair prices, large portions.

Great food good atmosphere and service fair prices

Little busy but food was tasty :) soft tofu soup can be better with more tofu. But generally great. I want to try other dishes too.

I really enjoy eating in this restaurant they have fun korean music and very good service!I always order cheese corn and the rice cake with bacon is the best They also have good yogurt soju

I tried to order over the phone Uber pickup. Guy on the phone treated me very disrespectfully (“Why are you calling me?! Call Uber to ask questions!). So I ended up not ordering anything and will never eat in this place. Their food must be mediocre I guess. Glad I didn’t order. Can’t understand why people in San Francisco have to be hostile with visitors? In the end we come to spend money. Can’t understand people sometimes......

ZZAN Korean Restaurant is a fusion inspired Korean restaurant. Interior looks psychedelic with a slight retro touch, which was quite awkward for a Korean restaurant. We had the military soup 부대찌개 and the donkatsu 돈까스. They were both "okay" but not super fantastic. I was happy enough with my soju 소주.

Open late nite

Fantastic hidden gem. Ordered the soft tofu soup and it came with a cabbage salad and small banchan. The soft tofu soup its self was incredibly flavorful and one of the best I've had. I'm definitely coming back here!

A very good place to have quick lunch. The only reason for giving it 4 stars is their food is not very spicy :-)

I very much enjoy the dishes and service, excellent area right next to my house. The workers are always helpful. Highly recommended.

Wow. I live nearby and have walked by this place numerous times but hadn't stopped until tonight. The quality is excellent, the selection is diverse and the service is quick. The price is very fair for the feast you can have and I think anyone could be happy with the all you can eat menu - even the non bbq egg dish, rice cakes, as soft tofu soup (all also on the all you can eat menu) were fantastic.

4 stars just because the food was sooo good. Nothing else was all that special about this place, it was very dark.. and it wasnt that expensive either... in SF money anyway.

The best Korean flavors I had ever! Not too sour fermented appetizers, not stale meet, juicy potato croquets that beat Spanish counterparts and for the first time I liked caramelized onions in spicy n sweet chicken (cheese on top balanced the excess sweetness!) I usually hate sweet food but not this one! Thanks a lot.

Their lunch box specials are awesome, and the wings are great for a late night snack as well.

The wait staff here is ill-mannered and the ambience is lacking.The music, to begin with, is at a volume that makes conversation difficult due to the poor acoustics of the room. Entirely hard surfaces means that the sound reverberates and you have to raise your voice to even speak to the people beside you.On top of that, the wait staff is unpleasant. When they can’t hear you over the unnecessarily loud songs, they simply grimace in a most unprofessional manner.The food, while not the worst, is not worth the poor service and MANDATORY 20% tip baked into the bill.

I tried the stonebowl for the first time and was amazed at how much flavor and crunchy texture it adds to the dish. The service was fast and friendly too. Great little place to hangout or pop in for a quick meal too. You will also love the fresh ingredients and appreciate the healthy menu options!

Holy Fork you guys.This is honestly THE best Korean I’ve ever had.I walked in. Was 1 of 3 white people and knew I had made the right decision. Wait took a bit, but it was just that busy. Wellllllll worth the wait.Get the bibimbap. Put cheese on it. Why not.The omelet is to die for.I tried to make my husband come back multiple times on the same trip but apparently he doesn’t like delicious things as much as me.

Great atmosphere and food. Prices are reasonable too for both the food and drinks

Really awesome, authentic Korean food. Good price and good options

Visited for lunch, ordered bibimbab and spicy soft tofu soup.Those were tasty and just like what I've eaten in Korea. As a Korean, I assure Zzan''s bibimbab is much better than what I ate in some restaurants in Korea. I highly recommend this place.

My GF loves this place and she works in fine dining... So she's hard to please.

Not exactly a traditional Korean restaurant, but more of a cafe style joint with loud Korean music playing in the background which we didn’t mind. Dishes were relatively good compared to other Korean restaurants in the States, but seemed to be sweeter to suit local American customers. Fairly good customer service from waitresses and the dishes came out in a timely manner. Would I come back? I think so. Nicely located in downtown SFO which is always a plus.

This place is one of my favorites! Affordable rates, big portions and the staff members are consistently helpful.

This Korean restaurant was our savior of the evening because it was open late! They were gracious enough to let us sit and eat although they were closing shortly.. which is more than I can say about Cocobang... it’s a cute, small but trendy place. Service was nice. Food was decent. We ordered the galbi, and the meat wasn’t the best quality and there was a lot of fat. Kim chi fried rice was good and I liked their ban chan (although there was just 3 items vs an array like the typical Korean places). Overall pretty decent. It did the job and fulfilled our hunger!

A bit loud most of the time but great environment and great food
