    Awesome food! My family and I had brunch at Surisan and the food was outstanding, service was good, same as drinks and ambience. But the culinary experience is definitely a must. I would highly recommend Surisan and their famous millionaire bacon is just formidable!

    This is more like fusion Korean food. Not as expected. They are very clean and clean up table super often. Portion is very small, first time having fusion Korean food. I will not say it taste bad just not as expected.

    I chose Surisan as a place to hold my Birthday dinner, and they did not disappoint! The food was excellent. Every dish looked beautiful, and was delicious. I was thoroughly full. The wait staff was perfect, they knew when to come by and be of service, and also gave us space to eat and chat. I really liked the ambiance of the restaurant, it had the right feel of being rustic and warm. A few standout dishes were the Belly Pot, Galbi, as well as the Crackling Guk. It is very hard to find a good Asian restaurant in this part of town, because it is mostly associated with out of town tourists, but that is what makes this place very unique. Would definitely come here again.

    Excellent service. Kind of a mixed American and Korean menu. Breakfast looked awesome. We had strictly Korean and it was very good. Kimchi should be free with Korean meals. Panju was excellent served in a cast iron pan sizzling! Other dishes were also served piping hot. Unexpected for touristy location.

    I love Surisan! I wish that I would’ve been seated a little bit further away from the larger parties as it was quite loud for me as a single diner.

    My colleagues and I enjoyed the food but after spending $225 we were told the bill could only be split two ways. This is not posted on their website or their restaurant upon entering. This is 2019 and we only wanted to split three ways. There was no accommodation made or acknowledgement of their lack of customer service. In fact, we ordered bacon flight prominently posted on the restaurant entrance displaying four pieces to only get two. We let that go until the bill arrived. We were told we ordered the wrong bacon flight when there was only one on the menu. This is just representative of the lack of customer set. The restaurant was not that busy to be that I accommodating. #epicfail

    Snotty greeter, harried servers, but very innovative and tasty nouveau Korean. Extremely noisy as the interior is all hard surfaces. Conversation is virtually impossible. Refreshingly not touristy. Priced a bit high, but understandable in that area.

    Made a 730 reservation called the restaurant to say i would be 10 to 15 min late. I was not asked my name or anything basically was dismissed off the phone. When we arrived they had given away our table and no one even looked at me for 15 min. Its clear they do not care about the customer experience

    We booked Surisan as it was just around the corner from our hotel (Hyatt Centric) and it looked much more interesting than the usual chains around the Fisherman’s Wharf area. The food was great and the restaurant seemed to be busy with lots of locals, rather than just tourists (like us!). Our server was very efficient and friendly. Only slight negative is that it seemed fairly expensive.
