Minari in San Bruno

The Korean food at Minari is not bad. We had the 6 piece fried wings $18, seafood tofu soup $22, beef stone bibimbap $26 and saba $24. For the fried chicken wings, it came with fries but no ketchup. Some garlic aioli sauce would have been nice. The seafood tofu soup and saba was uneventfully decent. As for the stoneware beef bibimbap, I was looking forward to the crispy rice at the bottom. That was disappointing. The rice was under cooked and did not produce the bottom of the bowl crispy rice. Service was excellent.

Cute Korean place in downtown San Bruno. They have friendly service but food is on the pricy side. They also have fewer side dishes than some other places but all the side dishes were quite yummy.We got the army stew, corn cheese, kimchi fried rice and seafood pancake. Army stew was really small for $25 which I felt was overpriced. Seafood pancake was done really well, definitely recommend. Corn cheese is super rich and delicious but very heavy.Their stone bowl bibimbap looked quite good and we will definitely try that next time

A friend of mine brought me here after talking it up for a while and it did not disappoint. Im just disappointed I didnt go sooner. The flavors are amazing and the service was top notch and friendly. I havent stopped thinking about the food since.

I get the same thing here every time lol galbi and tteok-bokki with cheese and ramen. I love coming here. It was surprisingly busier than I’m used to on a Thursday night!

First time visit and happy we tried it out.We went to San Mateo avenue because there are lots of wonderful choices. The first few places we wanted to try were closed and we ended up at Minari.The dining area is nicely open and tables spaced out so you are not back to back with other diners.We were promptly greeted and after putting in our orders, banchans followed soon afterwards.It was a nice variety. Two items not normally served at other places included (very mildly) spicy bean sprouts and marinated seaweed. It was as delicious as all the other banchans.Our mackerel was nicely done, crisp on the outside and moist inside. The mackerel was a decent size. The bibimbap was a generous portion with delicious vegis and perfectly cooked rice. The seafood in the seafood tofu stew was good too.Everything was very delicious and service was very prompt.Water is self serve.Minus one less star for the plastic container for the bibimbap sauce. Personal bias against use disposable plastic ware for dine-in.Would definitely come again.

We got there early. Food served quite quickly. Army stew can be better. The staff is friendly.

We stopped by here while in the area when we we were craving some Korean food, and it did not disappoint! We ordered their stone pot bibimbap and kimchi fried rice -- both were delicious. They have the classic Korean dishes: fried chicken, seafood pancake, army stew, etc. Seems like theres a good amount of street parking around. Overall, would recommend.

I enjoyed the food but it was a little pricey for what it is. Maybe for people with a higher income bracket might think differently but for the quality of food, i can probably find similar for lower prices.The atmosphere was nice as i came during slow service and it was peaceful. The service was nice as well.I sure hoped the water wasn’t self serve and you never know what other people might do to the public water pitcher.

Amazing side dishes and kimchi! Very authentic, home cooking style welcoming atmosphere. The portions are huge, they have nice packaging for side dishes. I like their table setting, very spacious and have separate sections for groups. Good selection of flavored soju is definitely a plus points!

Good Korean food in San Bruno.Big space that accommodates bigger parties as well.I will be back.
