Expect a pleasant but no-frills dining room. Whether you choose a hearty soup (served in a cast-iron bowl with rice) or barbecue, you get 13 different accompanying mini-dishes of everything from kimchee to pickled diakon to sliced fish cake, each a tasty combination of tastes and textures. If you do go for the barbecue, you can cook food on the grill at your table or have the kitchen prepare it for you. Traditionally, diners place cooked meats into whole butter-lettuce leaves, add the accompaniments of their choice, then roll and enjoy. For non-beefeaters, there is also an extensive menu of…

Frankly, I prefer Brother's II over the original
by partaaaay
Frankly, I prefer Brother's II over the original, just because of the service. Last time we were there, I felt rushed. Totally uncool.
The food is still excellent though, especially the rare/raw meat thingy w/ the crunchy fruit (you can tell I didn't order, right?) but it was as fresh as any steak tartare at a decent French restaurant.
Oh yeah, loooong wait too. So, if this place doesn't take you sooner, definitely go to Brother's II next over.

Great, authentic korean bbq in San Francisco
by QlubbAndy
One of my favorite Korean bbq places. It's pretty barebones decor but authentic. And the service is friendly and no-nonsense. Not once have I eaten there where the owner hasn't stopped by to see how things are going and to often times give something a little "on the house" extra. Great for small and large groups, the food is great and the most important thing is, you see a lot of Koreans eating there which attests to its authenticity. The employees at Qlubb love to go there for meetings although it's true, we all smell like bbq afterwards.

Average Korean Food - Nothing Special
by foodfan1977
i am from new york, where i'm used to korean food on 32nd street. the food here was ok. the restaurant is a little dirty and crowded. everything we ordered tasted ok - nothing special about this place. a little disappointing considering the reviews. overall, korean food in san francisco is nothing to write home about. the bbq was ok and they gave us some free dishes which was nice.
- Pros: good bbq, free dishes
- Cons: a little dirty, not a great ambience, grillers are old
The Details on Brothers Restaurant
The Extras:
This place has a sister restaurant, with the same name and menu but often fewer people, just one block down 4014 Geary Blvd.
Look Good:
Dress in layers if you're going to be at one of the hot tables: once that barbecue gets going, that sweater isn't going to be quite as appealing.
Know Before You Go:
There's a two-person minimum for D.I.Y. barbecuing, so bring a friend.
