Simmer & Steamer

Oh boy... This was sad. I usually don't rate things bellow 2 stars, but this was total trash. The place being completely empty at lunch time should have tipped me off to the quality. But hey, gotta make my own judgments here, so let's dig in! Got their most expensive dish, the Super Bowl, which includes most things in their menu. I thought of adding an avocado to give it some color, but that would put the meal well over $30, which is enough to get you two meals in most places downtown. Regardless, the pork belly was mostly... Belly. Just fat. There was barely any Gan-jang beef, and fortunately the chicken was fine (although with this much spice, you won't taste anything anyway). Even though I got the LARGE portion, it straight up felt like a light portion. And remember, we're talking about

Don’t usually write reviews, but one of the best quick lunch spots I found at SF! Came with my co-worker, and we ordered pork belly rice curry and avocado with cod roe mayo rice bowl. Both of them came in 2-3 minutes, and total was less than $15 per person (which is very hard to find in SF). Portions were generous, and they all tasted great! Will definitely be coming back soon.

Food was made extremely quickly but at the cost of the taste. The pork belly had no flavor and the beef was alright. The service was friendly. I would go here if you want a quick meal.

Came here for a lunch gathering. There were 10 of us but the food came super fast. We ordered from a kiosk but the staff made sure we were able to order smoothly, and also gave recommendations to each of us. We were even treated with these traditional Korean desserts that’s made from honey and sweet rice flour (I think it’s called Yakgwa? But not sure if I got the name right). It’s kind of like a fast-casual place where a lot of people order for take-out, but the dine-in environment was very nice and relaxing too.

Very good place for a reasonable price! The store is very clean and tidy. We ordered 3 platter, beef, pork curry, and sausage curry. The regular size is enough for me. Everything was great except they seemed to forget to put curry on the pork one 😔 I personally recommend curry ones if they did put curry on.
