SSAL San Francisco Reviews
My fiancée surprised me at Ssal for my bday this year.
We've actually been here before during COVID for their Korean fried chicken. And we're finally back for their prix fixe meal. SERVICE: I'd like to say that Ssal might have won the award for best service this year at a Michelin-starr

Summary: During early COVID, I was coughing uncontrollably on the day of our prepaid dinner. The restaurant refused to reschedule, so we went. I spent the evening trying not to cough instead of enjoying the food. Full experience: A couple of years a
What an incredible dining experience.
From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere just felt special -- upscale, but in a way that was warm and welcoming. There aren't many tables, which I loved because it made the whole evening feel private. One of the highlights for me was when

(Overall: A) - In short, I had a great time with Ssal's tasting menu featuring a delicate selection of seafood and proteins through an innovative, yet still Korean lens; I think a vegetable-forward course could be an interesting complement to th
I haven't written a review in a long time because I'm lazy.
Ssal motivated me to start typing and sharing my love for the food, restaurant -- complete experience. Attentive and friendly service throughout. Every dish was unique and delicious with an element of surprise and comfort in each bite. That's a
Was completely blown away by the food here.
Definitely earned their Michelin star for a reason. The food was excellent their charcoal grilled short rib was extremely tender and flavorful. The ambience was unique and the attention to detail was obvious. It is very pricey but worth the food and

A delectable experience, extraordinary sourced, fresh and unique ingredients, every dish was well thought out and service was impeccable.
Unaccommodating and lag of skill chef, indifference staff
A very disappointing experience. Very unaccommodating and lag of skill chef and indifference staff. My wife is lactose intolerance and I mentioned in the reservation in advance. We asked the chef to substitute butter if possible and was told he will.

We first started coming to SSAL when they first opened during COVID, back when it was takeout only. We loved their grilled unagi set; it was such treat! After they started welcoming dine-in customers, we've been here three times, and it's been a d
One of my new favorite restaurants.
Every course was both delicious and plated beautifully, but my favorite was definitely their perfectly cooked scallop served alongside their flaky croissant. Wish they sold their injeolmi honey butter for their croissant because I would spread that o

San Francisco, Russian Hill.
April 2024. Bae Junsoo and his wife, Hyunyoung, lead the city's new wave of Korean chef's elevating Korean cuisine. By using specifically sourced Korean ingredients highlighted by California's fresh seasonal bounty they create a seasonal prix fixe
Pricey.
The food was amazing, but one of the dishes with rice wasn't cooked enough, maybe that's how the dish is supposed to be and I don't know, but the rice was definitely undercooked.
Michelin star rated Korean fusion restaurant.
We made a reservation for a friends birthday a couple months in advance and it wasn't too hard to get in. Highly recommended for a booking during the week, it is less busy and more intimate. Located off Polk street, there's only street parking so try

We came here to celebrate our anniversary and we loved our night here. The service here deserves more than 5 stars as everyone was fun to talk to, super attentive, and they also gave us the largest fresh truffle shavings that I've gotten in my life (
Horrible server and ambiance .
The restaurant was noisy with loud radio music blasting over our head. Music was not even soothing for dining experience in a Michelin star restaurant. Asked the server to turn music down by half and he said " I won't do that , maybe 15% lower!&
Overall great experience.
Went for my birthday, they take a picture and provide you a polaroid as a souvenir Ambience - mimalistic and intimate, spaced out very well. music that was playing was more a lounge vibe. Service was consistent and on point. Very attentive and cl

5 times 5 stars!
We went to Ssal for the first time last night, and LOVED it: the food, the service, the wine pairings, the atmosphere, the sourcing and stories behind the food (for example, the sesame oil, grown by the chef's father, hand-pressed and shipped from So
Connect with users posting reservations for SSAL San Francisco
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with SSAL San Francisco. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to SSAL San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the SSAL San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at SSAL San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at SSAL San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
