Description

The cleanest and most inviting of the Richmond District's numerous grill-at-your-table Korean barbecue joints, Han Il Kwan serves some of the best panchan (an array of appetizers and side dishes included in the price of the entrees) in San Francisco. The kim chee is sometimes so fresh it's a bit fizzy, and the housemade fish cake is worth a trip. Sometimes the spread includes hot dishes such as fried mung bean cakes or grilled squid.

Call ahead if you prefer to grill over charcoal rather than gas.
