Had a great meal at POGU in Jagalchi.

Everything we ordered was fresh and well made.The sashimi salad was super fresh and light, and the seafood pancake was crispy and flavorful. The grilled mackerel was perfectly cooked—rich, savory, and not fishy at all.

We also ordered the pork belly, which was juicy, well-seasoned, and came out sizzling hot. It paired perfectly with the sauces and sides and was definitely one of our favorite dishes.

Finished with dessert, which was light and refreshing and a nice way to end the meal. Overall, great food, nice atmosphere, and a place I’d happily come back to. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and craving Korean.

Went on a rainy Saturday so there weren’t too many people. The food was excellent and arrived very quickly. All the ingredients were high quality, fine attention was paid to texture, seasoning, and plating. All of the dishes we ordered tasted quite refined. The serving sizes were satisfying, especially the eel rice.

Pogu in Jagalchi, San Francisco was a thoughtfully chosen stop during my visit, and the experience was thoroughly enjoyable.

Conveniently located in the heart of Jagalchi Market, the restaurant was easy to find and pleasant to visit while exploring the market.

The restaurant offers a refined yet comfortable atmosphere, featuring a clean open kitchen and well-executed interior design that reflects a high-end dining environment. The staff were professional, courteous, and attentive, consistently ensuring a smooth and welcoming dining experience.

The menu was clearly structured and aligned with the standards of many authentic Korean restaurants in the U.S. Each dish was well balanced and flavorful, reflecting careful preparation and the chef’s attention to detail. Presentation was polished, and the sauces complemented the dishes well without being overpowering. Every dish was enjoyable, and ordering two appetizers and two main dishes was a satisfying amount for three people, leaving us comfortably full.

From reading other reviews, it is clear that the team continues to refine the menu and make thoughtful improvements, including the development of new dishes. Overall, the visit was highly satisfying, and I would gladly recommend Pogu to anyone looking for quality Korean cuisine in San Francisco.

So good. Everything tasted amazing, with well-balanced flavors and tons of options to choose from. I read through some of the older reviews, and it looks like they’ve really worked hard to fix past issues and improve overall. The staff were super friendly(talyor?-she is really nice!) and very accommodating—they even spoke multiple languages, which was really impressive. Definitely don’t skip the LA galbi. The meat was insanely tender and packed with flavor. The stews and hot pots were also fantastic. I’d 100% come back.

I was really excited to try this new Korean restaurant in Daly City, as it was supposed to be manned by a Michelin chef. However, I was very disappointed by the food, as it did not live up to the hype. Menu was surprisingly limited, portions were small, and the flavors were just very average. I have had much better authentic Korean dining experiences in the South Bay and San Mateo. Not worth the drive for me. Fast and friendly service. Large free parking lot.

We celebrated a family birthday at Pogu and had an unforgettable experience. We ordered the chef’s special 5-course meal. The dishes were truly out of this world—not only was the food absolutely delicious, but each plate was presented like a work of art. To top it off, the service from our hostess, Shoon, was exquisite and made the special day even more unique.

Came with a friend today and had a great time again! We were lucky to have Hostess Shoon again providing us with excellent service!

I am but a young Mexican girl with little experience with Korean cuisine but oh man. The gangwon buckwheat was delicious though it has a strong horseradish flavor which is not my favorite. However, I quite literally DREAM about the doenjang jjigae. Amazingly cooked vegetable and rice with the perfect texture. I will say though that the bibimbap was a little lacking in terms of size. Also, the cocktails are a little disappointing. Regardless, the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Like I said, I had no idea what I was doing but servers were sweet and answered any questions I had. The sitting areas were beautiful with well atmospheric lighting. I do recommend dinner versus lunch because it enhances the atmosphere. Solid choice for restaurant night!

Didn’t have to wait when we arrived on Saturday at 7:30PM (party of 7). I think people have learned this place is overhyped. No complaints about service, but hard to imagine this is a high end place. Is it?

Overall most things tasted meh. Wish they offered more side dishes. For the price, I had higher expectations.

Tofu Kimchi Jjigae ($23) – Soup tasted…bitter? Barely any kimchi. Rice was good. You have to order the Seafood and Soft Tofu Jjigae ($25). if you want soft tofu. Who wants firm tofu in their soup?!

Eel Bibimbap ($30) – Good balance of everything. I would order this again. Crunchy rice bits were really good.

We got the Chef’s pick. They seemed to have ironed out all the wrinkles from their grand opening with service. Server was attentive, brought out each dish one-by-one and introduced and described the dishes. He monitored our table and served the next course after the previous course was cleared from the table. Yes, it is pricey and yes, you don’t get lot of food/value. But that’s generally the case with fine dining establishments and especially the case with a tasting menu. It is not meant to stuff you to the gills but allows you taste and experience the chef’s creation/creativity. It is definitely unique and doesn’t resemble traditional Korean food found in a traditional Korean restaurant.

Excellent customer service, attention to detail dishes excited expertly and the unexplained chipped soup bowls and gnats.
Our party of four enjoyed the prix fixe.
Our experience was overwhelming with all of the dishes all brought out all at ones. The pacing and timing could have been slower allowing time to savor each dish.
The price point was just right.
