Chicken wings were very yummy and extremely crispy, tteokbokki was average. Overall, food was good but not life changing. Patio was warm and cozy, but indoor vibe was not great. Would recommend for a yummy casual dinner with a nice vibe and good value.

We attended a wedding dinner here, and it turned out to be such a wonderful experience.
Food: A variety of dishes were served family-style, including chicken wings, rice, kimchi, soup, and beef. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The wings were perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the kimchi really stood out as our favorite part of the meal. It was all so enjoyable that I’d happily come back again just to have those dishes one more time.

They have a large outdoor patio in the back. Food didn’t take a long time. It was really good. The soft shell crab was good but decently spicy. Overall this was a really solid Korean restaurant I could for sure come back.

Not a bad price at all for the atmosphere and quality of food. I really enjoyed the patio, super cute and cozy. My sister loved the sesame soy chicken wings. The soft tofu stew was tasty. We are definitely coming back to try their Korean BBQ!

So glad to finally try Um.mas and definitely worth it! The sundubu-jjigae was everything you could want out of a soup on a cold day. It was incredibly fresh and well seasoned, like everything else we had. They had great portion sizes as well for the price. Staff were incredibly polite and the overall vibes of the restaurant were chill and such a relaxing, fun place to be. I’d definitely go back.

Having been here dozens of times over the years, Um Ma is an acceptable spot for patio Korean food with good vibes, especially on a warm day.
Whether you are in Golden Gate Park or strolling through the sunset, it’s conveniently located. Again, the vibes are good and the patio is a plus as it makes it dog friendly. Doesn’t really feel like an authentic Korean place and it’s a bit like they are trying too hard to be hip but maybe that’s what sells. I recommend making reservations as it can get busy during prime time.
The service is … usually sub par. Even on our best visit, it was still lacking. I want to be charitable and assume they are just severely understaffed. You’ll often have a hard time getting a hold of them and even if you do, expect to remind them multiple times for requests. They’ve made it so you can now order on your phone but for any special requests, it’s the same issue.
The food is pricey but a few of the dishes are actually worth it. Haven’t visited in a while but apparently now they charge for extra banchan (side dishes)… what? I know times are tough but damn.
While the patio atmosphere is nice and the location is convenient for many, there are better Korean spots even in SF (and much, much better in the Bay in general).
Overall, the place is good but not great and while the atmosphere is lovely, things like the insufficient level of service and the inconsistent quality of the dishes makes it hard to make this a must visit for anyone.

Came here on a weeknight, never had trouble getting a table. The food is good but not great, partially due to the prices to portion ratio.
We ordered teokkboki, LA galbi, beef bulgogi, pork belly, kimchi fried rice, bibimbap. Everything was well cooked. Galbi wasn’t too fatty and was delish, bulgogi was slightly too sweet but still tasty, kimchi fried rice lacked seasoning or taste, bibimbap had a unique western take on it, pork belly was mid.
One disappointing thing – banchan (small side dish) isn’t free flow – it’s just season quails eggs, spiced broccoli, yellow pickled radish and kimchi. It’s disappointing considering these are inexpensive sides even from a restaurant owner perspective.
I’ve dined here on multiple occasions, I’d personally recommend: LA galbi, scallion pancake, soonduboo jjigae, rock n roe rice and charred gai lon.
Service staff were good! We enjoyed our food and service, just oddly underwhelmed by needing to pay for side dishes which are free flow in majority of the Korean joints I’ve been to. It’s not a big deal, just in principle?
Would come again if I’m in the area. Total came to about $50+ per person with tips.

Good service, nice outdoor patio with heaters and delicious food. We got two soups, tteobokki, pork belly and fried chicken wings and it came out to $100 exactly (plus gave tip). We recommend and will be back.

Modern and artsy, former Michelin star (2021) korean restaurant right by Golden Gate Park – DeYoung/ Cal Sciences. Good for groups, they look small when you enter but have a lot of seating at the back, so even if it looks full at the entrance, just go in and check 🙂 We were a group of 6, and bill came out to be $25-30 per person. The scallion pancakes are BIG, the same portion size as a main, not a side. Plus food ofc was so good.
Large vegetarian selection. I have been to many other korean restaurants and there is one courtesy bibimbap or japchae, but they had 7-8 vegetarian options on the menu! Highly recommend this restaurant for vegetarians.

Food was generally solid with the exception of the seafood pancake, which was very doughy and not very crispy. Also lacked variety for the seafood inside. Service could have been better – there were several times when we clearly needed service (hadn’t ordered, needed takeout boxes) and all the servers were chatting at the kitchen window. A table seated after us ordered before we did… probably not coming back, the food and service wasn’t worth the higher-end pricing.
