Surisan

What you need to know

Surisan sits on Beach Street near Fisherman’s Wharf, which is an unlikely location for one of the more interesting Korean restaurants in the city. The kitchen blends Korean home cooking with California brunch culture: bibimbap alongside millionaire’s bacon, Korean fried rice next to omelets, and soju cocktails from a full bar.

The Food

The Korean fried chicken is the standout. Bibimbap and Korean fried rice anchor the lunch and dinner menus. Brunch items pull from both Korean and American traditions. Soju cocktails are worth ordering. The kitchen leans on local and organic ingredients where possible.

The Space

Modern and bright with a design sense that fits the fusion approach. A welcome change from the tourist-oriented restaurants that dominate the Wharf.
