Sorabol - SF Center

I really like Sorabol at the San Francsico. Being Korean-American it's hard to find great cheap Korean food in San Francisco. The East Bay & South Bay has cheap Korean restaurants galore, but not so much in SF. Also, the parents live so far away that it's difficult to go home and get great momma's home cooking.

Enter Sorabol - SF Center. Please keep in mind that I like Sorabol in the SF Center. All other locations sucks ass. This is probably because SF Center food court is more bougie than the Stonestown and the Emeryville locations. On Sundays, Mr. Belly Jiggle and I like to eat Korean food and watch a movie, and so SF Center is the perfect place to go.

Soft Tofu Soup: There's only 1 kind offered and it comes with a couple veges, clams, 1 oyster and 3-4 med sized shrimps. It's pretty decent and it's about $1.50 more expensive than Kukje (Peninsula) and $2.00 cheaper than My Tofu House (Inner Richmond). It comes with a bowl of rice cooked in the Korean sticky style, and not that lame fluffy Chinese way.

Spicy BBQ Chicken: So good but I wish it was spicier. Portion is hearty, so I always eat half pre-movie and half post-movie. I can never seem to save it for left overs the next day.

Egg Rolls: Totally not Korean food, but great greasy goodness.

Potstickers: The skin is really thick and chewy and steamed. I prefer the thick skin as opposed to the thin wimpy skin.

Kim Chi: Not spicy and really gross. It tastes like they took tobasco sauce, watered it down dipped some cabbage in it, and then put it in tiny little plastic cups. Gross.

3-Bone Teardrop Kalbi: They only give you 2 lame super thin slices. Taste is so-so. Net - not impresssed.

Short Ribs: Decent portion and flavor. I've had better elsewhere, but it's pretty damn good for mall food.

Steamed Veges: Veges are perfectly steamed and firm. Not wimpy and really good.
