Pine Tree House

It's a little pricey but the variety/quality of the bonchon and the rest of their food is top notch. I like it more than YD down the street. My favorites are their seafood tofu soup and their raw crab. The raw crab is hard to come by in most places, and even my friend who dines at SF frequently said this place is better than the ones he tried in the bay area.

Fair Korean food w fair service. It wasn’t busy and the place was advertised to open until 10pm. We arrived at 8:30, stayed til 9pm, and noticed that the wait staff wanted to clean our table hinting they’re closing.

This place serves authentic Korean food. How do I know? The ladies who work there don't speak English! Ok, maybe a little English but it's fine because that's how I know this place is good. But yeah, the food here is good but it's not cheap. My friend and I came for lunch, ordered the seafood pancake, LA galbi, Sam Bulgogi and the total was over $100.

Oh my God I don't even know where to start. The banchan (side dishes) were AMAZING. They gave us steamed egg, eggplant, broccoli, fish cakes, kimchi, this sweet black bean, zucchini, bean sprouts, shredded potato, macaroni salad, and more! Honestly just from the banchan I knew it was going to be a good meal. I have never liked eggplant dishes until I tried this one side dish. The broccoli was honestly THE BEST broccoli in the entire world. Perfectly cooked, a little sweet, and not too soggy but still a crunch. The steamed egg was perfection and I can't believe it was included. Disclaimer, I've only been here once so I don't know if the side dishes change.

Ok onto the main course. I got seafood tofu soup. The egg came pre-thrown into the soup. I had to eat the soup before I could find it. It comes with a side of rice. The soup was mildly spicy (I hate spicy, and I didn't know it was going to be spicy) but I diluted it with rice and ate the side dishes and drank water to cool off my tongue. It turned out okay. They gave generous portions of seafood.

Great fast service, food was quick. People were nice. Will go back and try other things 10/10!!! This is going to be my new go-to Korean tofu soup restaurant.

I was craving for Korean food so we decided to try pine tree since the review looks good. I think the food would be better if they didn’t have a big party there. We ordered beef noodle soup(glass noodles), there was no beef, we had to send it back twice to get beef( they forgot to add beef again when we sent it back the first time) my friend think the flavor is ok, not too impressive, but I like the flavor of the soup. We also ordered tofu stew, I asked for extra spice but it was not much flavor and not spicy(I like blue house tofu stew more). We also ordered seafood pancake, I do like the flavor and I like they didn’t use too much flour, however my friend notice the seafood pancake barely have seafood, she said she barely tasted seafood in it(she likes YD seafood pancake more). But we do love their side dishes, so good and there were so many choices. We also love bibimbap. I think The chefs were too busy for the big party, that’s why our food didn’t turn out good, we were a little disappointed, but I’d love to give it another shot.
