San Francisco, CA
Harry currently ranks 10 korean spots in San Francisco, scoring 79–88 on the Harry Score. 2 carry critic or guide backing. Prices run $ to $$.
The banchan is the tell. It costs almost nothing and there is no reason not to get it right — if the kimchi is thin or the sides are tired, the kitchen does not care. At KBBQ specifically: grill cleanliness and charcoal temperature are not optional. Harry walks out of places that let the grill go cold between cuts.
