Not quite sure how we managed to miss this delightful restaurant prior. It’s been here for five years now! We had a really lovely and delicious 5 course dinner and every course really popped. The slight Asian/Korean influences create a nice balance and intrigue. Reasonable corkage should you decide to bring your own bottles. The wine list is small but focused on appropriate pairings. Service was on point and the atmosphere is truly perfect. Next time around we will request th chef’s counter.

My husband and I came here for Christmas Day dinner. The service was excellent and very attentive to our needs. We had an amazing time and each course was very tasty and full of flavor. We also went with wine pairing which was great. I highly recommend this place for special events.

Love the restaurant. Very charming with character. Dishes are unique, blended with East and West cooking technique and ingredients. For their price of their set menu, I would consider that as a steal. Will come again.

One of my favorite places to have dinner. The staff is friendly and they start true to the art of cooking. Each month is a new menu and they are also very accommodating, given you plan ahead.
Two seating times, 6pm and 8pm. Try responding to the reservation with allergies. Not crazy difficult to get a reservation. Been going here for years

The restaurant had a nice ambiance and interior decor feels a bit homely, a cross between casual and fine dining.
The first dish to come out was the root vegetables. The beets were very well seasoned with amazing flavors and thoughtful combinations of ingredients. I really liked the cashew cream, it was nutty, savory, and a perfect complement to the vegetables.
The next dish was a pork bao, which was tender and delicious. It reminded me a bit of a Chinese Peking duck bao. The mugwort bao had a very faint bitterness, but when paired with the other ingredients, it complemented the dish well.
The third dish was smoked duck breast with yakbab. The duck on its own was a bit salty, but when combined with the other elements on the plate, it really came together. The kale was bitter by itself, but it paired nicely with the radicchio, sweet rice, and duck. There were several different flavor combinations you could try, each bringing out a unique aspect of the dish. I tried persimmons with the duck; kale, persimmons, and duck; and radicchio, sweet rice, persimmon gel, and duck.
Dessert were fall flavors and was really enjoyable, though a bit on the sweet side.
Overall, the dishes were creative and showcased unique flavor profiles. It was a lovely experience, and I would definitely come back for a special occasion. The menu rotates each month, so be on the lookout if you see something interesting.

An intimate restaurant that offers Korean-American cuisine. Every dish is well crafted and reflects the chef’s creativity. The service is excellent, and the food is fantastic.

Visited for the first time Saturday night and had a great experience. The April 2025 menu was French based with some Korean elements that we really enjoyed. Each dish was intentional, beautiful, and delicious in line with French influences but with familiar flavors. It was also a lot of food and very filling for 4 courses with an affordable wine list as well so the value is great too. Highly recommend and we’ll be back once the menu changes again!

I’ve been to Restaurant Gish several times, and each visit brings new and unexpected delights. The April 2025 menu is centered around lamb, offering a creative and adventurous tasting experience.
The first course, a pâté with sweet and sour notes, was a refreshing way to start the meal and really whetted my appetite. The second course, featuring lamb heart, was beautifully cooked — tender with a rich, earthy flavor that stood out. The main course, a lamb rack, was slightly undercooked for my taste, but still flavorful and well-seasoned. Dessert was a highlight. The pea ice cream was playful and unexpected, paired with fresh fruit that added brightness and contrast.
We had the wine paring as well but I don’t think the wine pairing aligned perfectly with the courses, but the wines themselves were well-chosen and enjoyable on their own.
The atmosphere at Gish is intimate and refined, yet unpretentious. The minimalist decor and soft lighting create a calm, focused dining environment that lets the food shine. Service was attentive but relaxed, contributing to a comfortable and memorable evening.

Honestly, this is the best restaurant in the south Bay in my opinion. I lived in San Francisco for eight years and coming down on the peninsula and being in the south bay has been hard to find places that feel really authentic and intimate at the same time. It’s really a special place and all of the chefs, owners and servers are friendly, conversational, and love to tell you about the dishes. It’s also hard for me to find a restaurant that has a different menu each month and this is really what makes this place special. The chefs are really creative when it comes to the modern Korean fusion menu and every dish is expertly crafted. The place is so small and only holds maybe 30 people which to me adds to the charm. Having a beautiful open kitchen where you can watch the chefs at work is also a nice touch. It’s also one of the most affordable fixed menus in my opinion for what you get. I think a lot of places in the city could charge twice as much. $79 for 4 generous courses I think it’s very affordable. They have also added some really great nonalcoholic beverages that aren’t loaded with sugar, which is a huge plus for me. It’s definitely a place that I want to come on a monthly basis.

Restaurant Gish offers a unique dining experience with a focus on Korean fusion cuisine. The menu is prix fixe and seasonally driven, blending modern Korean flavors with contemporary American touches. We appreciate the meticulous attention to detail, both in the food presentation and the attentive, non-intrusive service. The ambiance is cozy and relaxed, with light background music, making it a great choice for a romantic evening.
All the dishes were so delicious and I would love to come back every month when they change the seasonal menu! Such a treat and we loved chatting with Stan, Ray, Areum, and Ben!
It’s definitely worth a visit! We will be back very soon.
