    Fantastic place to dine. The food was very comforting, the ambiance and layout of the restaurant was very clean, and the service was great. I will recommend Sungho to anyone who wants to experience high quality Korean food at a reasonable price, whether it’s a group dinner or sitting at the bar. The portions were big enough to share.

    We came here for hour happy hour after a visit to SFMoMA. We had great wine and shareables — calamari, kale salad, fried chicken sliders and roasted brussel spouts. Everything was delicious! We had a really delightful waitress and were greeted nicely when we entered. Would definitely do a repeat visit!
