A lovely spot on a sunny day and lovelier still when it’s gray. Do not miss the Bibimbap! WiFi password (for now,anyway): eathereoften
Ali DagliApril 10, 2017Owner Eric is super friendly and seems to be passionate about his little gem vision of making healthy food delicious and approachable. Good spot for outdoors lunch on a warm day.
Tagel Shaked ZingerNovember 10, 2016Everything is fresh, yummy and healthy. Exactly where you want to go for a casual lunch/dinner.
Robert McKinleyJanuary 25, 2016Happy to have this show upon in the hood. Right sized well thought out plate! I had the slow cooked pork with Brussels sprouts, rice, mushrooms beets etc. It was perfect. Good Pinot. Need more wines!
Charlene NaughtonSeptember 18, 2016I always look at the menu and get a little intimidated, but everything I've ordered, I've always ended up loving! Trust these guys!
I love this place. It’s casual, healthy, good value, and appropriate for almost any occasion. Some favorites: the simple scramble, the macro bowl, and the bibimbap
Amelia ManiApril 25, 2017My favorite casual dinner place in Hayes Valley. Great for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. Never been disappointed.
Peter BourgonSeptember 3, 2018Healthy, friendly, casual vibes. I wish there were more restaurants like this in the neighborhood. Only downside: a bit expensive.
Moon LimbMarch 18, 2016Nice space but bibimbap is inauthentic. Choice, chopping & preparation veggies, sauce, and rice texture are not Korean style. Putting veggies (one pickeled) on top of rice is a rice bowl, not Bibimap.
Lukas WhiteNovember 26, 2017Chill atmosphere, good background music. Window benches good for getting work done. Warning though; there are no power outlets so come fully juiced ⚡️⚡️👍
Ben TepferDecember 2, 2017Good bibimbap. Add the pork! Service was a little slow the second time we came here and he food a little cold.
Thomas DoriJune 11, 2016The curry at Little Gem was the best i had in a long time - delicious & healthy.
Melon LAugust 1, 2017Healthy and delicious. Really can't go wrong with anything here. Pancakes with coconut cream are amazing.- safia rJuly 13, 2017Great twist on the traditional Korean bibimbap, although will probably skip adding the salmon tartare next time.
- Alison MarrasMay 12, 2017The fish tacos with NON bread are delightful!! Whether you're eating gluten or not...
EDRAugust 7, 2016Nice atmosphere, great jazzy underground music, good brunch (had the scrambled eggs) & latte.
Ting SMarch 6, 2016The rice bowls. Brown rice has been carefully cooked here, the rice itself is an art.
Agatha YuMarch 13, 2016Looks like a place from the Kinfolk magazine. Their bibimbap is not too korean but still surprisingly filling!
Ben DruckerAugust 26, 2016On the pricey side but the food is healthy and substantial. Everything is gluten free!
Manon Van Buren 🎈February 17, 2019Perfect spot for a Sunday brunch! Nice outside terrace and cool interior as a bonus.
JamesJanuary 18, 2016Pretty overpriced for what you get: a tiny amount of over/under cooked food and no table service. Be prepared to spend at least $20 on a meal and a drink at dinner.
Mabel LeeOctober 19, 2016The Bibimbap was much raved about, and it was good. Definitely get the salmon tartare. There is a bit of a kick in the chili on the side.
