On a busy day it might be full, but I can always park nearby. Even if I end up a few blocks away the walk is part of the charm. With shops for toys, pets, books, toys, candy, fashion, and gifts, the whole area lends a full neighborhood experience to enjoy with a friend or two.\n\u003cp>There is a charming hostess to greet us. We get a choice of indoor or outdoor seating, I choose indoor, but the chilly weather is warmed by heaters for the diners outside. I have gotten the same thing here for years: the three fillo combo. It is three little, flaky, savory fillo cakes with a side of lemon chicken soup. I choose the Chicken Cilia (cinnamon chicken with garbonzo beans), Spinach and Feta, and the Cheese Karni (an enchanting blend of cheeses that I still cannot pinpoint). The modest garnish on the side makes for my flavor mixing celebration. I get a slice of orange, pineapple, banana, and Muenster cheese next to a small mound of hummus. I love slicing of a bit of the fruit to eat with a bite of fillo. The combinations highlight and activate different elements of each cake. With the dinner combo, there are four fillo offered, so I get the tasty ground beef and pine nut cake, further increasing the possibilities of tasty exploration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My mood and joy for the delicious food is complemented by pairing the meal with a glass or three of retsina, a white wine aged in pine barrels. It is not for everyone and the aroma is rather strong, but I find it refreshing and yummy. Going with friends is fun, because we can share an order of the pomegranate chicken. Plump, delectable drumsticks of slow cooked chicken in a slightly tangy sauce where the meat literally falls off the bone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mood is light but energetic. Usually rhythmic instrumental music is playing that makes me wonder why nobody is dancing (I sometimes do on my way to the restroom). The decor is distinct but simple; a mood is set without being overpowering or too gaudy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Go here for a work meeting, with out of town visitors, for a sexy date, or just to treat yourself to lunch and enjoy your current novel or comic book. This is the perfect joint to hit up during the holiday shopping season. You can cross off at least a handful of gifts while nourishing that gnawing, hustle-harried belly.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr size=\"1\" noshade>\n\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2009/05/george-habit.jpg\" alt=\"George Habit\" hspace=\"4\" align=\"left\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Name:\u003c/strong> George\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Occupation:\u003c/strong> Retired Journalist\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Location:\u003c/strong> Redwood City\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Favorite Restaurant:\u003c/strong> Joe’s of Westlake\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Reviewed La Mediterranee:\u003c/strong> Monday, December 2, 2008\u003cbr>\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003cbr>\nAuthentic Mediterranean restaurant, featuring traditional Mid-Eastern atmosphere and serving realistic Lebanese cuisine. More than adequate portions. Professional staff greets patrons with a smile. We arrived at 1pm for lunch and were seated immediately. The courses were leisurely paced. For dessert we were served delicious seedless sweetened dates covered with rich, thick cream. A fine dessert. We enjoyed the total midday dining experience. The prices are right and the food is filling.\n\u003chr size=\"1\" noshade>\n\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2009/05/patricia-muniosguren.jpg\" alt=\"Patricia Muniosguren\" hspace=\"4\" align=\"left\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Name:\u003c/strong> Patricia\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Occupation:\u003c/strong> Montessori Pre-School Teacher\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Location:\u003c/strong> Redwood City\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Favorite Restaurant:\u003c/strong> Roy’s Restaurant\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Reviewed La Mediterranee:\u003c/strong> Sunday, November 23, 2008\u003cbr>\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003cbr>\nWe thought parking was going to be difficult at the restaurant considering it’s in a fairly busy area of Berkeley. It turns out there is a small parking lot in the back of the restaurant, and you don’t have to pay on Sundays. A plus!\n\u003cp>There is covered, outside seating in front of the restaurant. It was a nice day and we considered sitting out there so we could people watch, but decided to eat inside because there was much more to take in visually. The ceiling of the restaurant was covered in cloth panels that softened the look of the industrial ceiling. There was a skylight — always a plus! The lighting was bright and the place felt airy. Considering it was a Sunday at 2:30pm, the place was pretty full, but the acoustics were great, as we never thought it was too loud. We didn’t have to wait too long to get our table either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The place has a fun, eclectic feel. Each table had a little tray with a classic Coke ad displayed on the side, and they each also had a small vase filled with a different wild flower. It gave each table a unique look. There was a small bar in the back of the restaurant surrounded by fake grapes. Totally kitschy-cute. You could see all the way to the back of the kitchen, and it was reassuring to know that they’re willing to expose their cooking area so openly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was sorry that one of my guy friends was not able to come with us. I think he would have appreciated the quality of waitresses that were there. Each one was friendly and accommodating and had that certain Berkeley flair that added to the ambiance of the restaurant. And they were all cute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m not a big fan of hummus, but my boyfriend will order it any chance he gets. It was wonderful! Definitely one of the best I’ve ever tasted — comparable to all the homemade hummus I’ve had in the past. Plus they added vegetable slices like beets, carrots, and red lettuce that could be used to scoop up the hummus in lieu of pita bread. Another added bonus was the pita bread came warm and was a combination of regular and whole wheat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For my main dish I ordered Grecian Spinach and Feta Fillo Dough Specialty with the lentil soup as my side dish. I’ve never seen anything like that in another other menu serving the same fare. Anton ordered the Levantine Meat Tart with chicken lemon soup (!) as his side dish. We were both impressed by the plating — it turned out that for $10.25, we got a whole dish. Not only did it come with four fillo rolls, it came with the soup, a side of hummus, three slices of varied fruit (pineapple, orange, and banana) and a small triangle of Gouda cheese. We figured the fruit and cheese served as dessert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our waitress came by to notify Anton that she had given him the wrong plate. Instead of the Levantine Meat Tart, he had been given the fillo combination, which included my Grecian Spinach and Feta, Cheese Karni, Levantine Meat Tart and Chicken Cilicia. He was so happy with the mistake he kept the plate. We both agreed that the spinach and feta rolls deserved a “happy food dance,” which is our parlance for “awesome food.” I tried some of the Chicken Cilicia, which we thought was the most shocking thing on the plate because it was actually sweet and almost dessert like. But oh so tasty!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lentil soup was good, but nothing too exciting. I thought it lacked depth. The chicken lemon soup was just so unusual we both had to try it. It was tasty and surprising. A very clever combination!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I enjoyed my beer. I had specifically requested an exotic beer, and the waitress recommended the Almaza beer from Lebanon. She said that it flew off their shelves, and they had to keep lots of extra stock to meet the demand. It was a light, not so hoppy beer, with a clear, bright yellow color. Considering the warmer weather, I thought it was a great complement to the meal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were so full from the meal that we had to forgo our dessert. I didn’t even manage to finish two of my rolls and packed them up in a to-go box with the rest of the hummus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We had to ask the waitress for directions to another place on the Berkeley campus, and she was really helpful and even provided us with a map of the campus. Apparently, they do a lot of deliveries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I went to the bathroom on the way out. It was nicely tiled and decorated. I was a little disappointed to note that there was paper on the floor, and it looked the trashcan needed to be emptied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A definite go-to restaurant! There were other items on the menu I didn’t have a chance to try and would love to go back. I’d be curious to try out their other locations in San Francisco to see if they have the same casual, eclectic, laid back vibe that the one in Berkeley has.\u003c/p>\n\n",

On a busy day it might be full, but I can always park nearby. Even if I end up a few blocks away the walk is part of the charm. With shops for toys, pets, books, toys, candy, fashion, and gifts, the whole area lends a full neighborhood experience to enjoy with a friend or two.\n\u003cp>There is a charming hostess to greet us. We get a choice of indoor or outdoor seating, I choose indoor, but the chilly weather is warmed by heaters for the diners outside. I have gotten the same thing here for years: the three fillo combo. It is three little, flaky, savory fillo cakes with a side of lemon chicken soup. I choose the Chicken Cilia (cinnamon chicken with garbonzo beans), Spinach and Feta, and the Cheese Karni (an enchanting blend of cheeses that I still cannot pinpoint). The modest garnish on the side makes for my flavor mixing celebration. I get a slice of orange, pineapple, banana, and Muenster cheese next to a small mound of hummus. I love slicing of a bit of the fruit to eat with a bite of fillo. The combinations highlight and activate different elements of each cake. With the dinner combo, there are four fillo offered, so I get the tasty ground beef and pine nut cake, further increasing the possibilities of tasty exploration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My mood and joy for the delicious food is complemented by pairing the meal with a glass or three of retsina, a white wine aged in pine barrels. It is not for everyone and the aroma is rather strong, but I find it refreshing and yummy. Going with friends is fun, because we can share an order of the pomegranate chicken. Plump, delectable drumsticks of slow cooked chicken in a slightly tangy sauce where the meat literally falls off the bone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

More than adequate portions. Professional staff greets patrons with a smile. We arrived at 1pm for lunch and were seated immediately. The courses were leisurely paced.

It turns out there is a small parking lot in the back of the restaurant, and you don’t have to pay on Sundays. A plus!\n\u003cp>There is covered, outside seating in front of the restaurant. It was a nice day and we considered sitting out there so we could people watch, but decided to eat inside because there was much more to take in visually. The ceiling of the restaurant was covered in cloth panels that softened the look of the industrial ceiling. There was a skylight — always a plus! The lighting was bright and the place felt airy. Considering it was a Sunday at 2:30pm, the place was pretty full, but the acoustics were great, as we never thought it was too loud. We didn’t have to wait too long to get our table either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The place has a fun, eclectic feel. Each table had a little tray with a classic Coke ad displayed on the side, and they each also had a small vase filled with a different wild flower. It gave each table a unique look. There was a small bar in the back of the restaurant surrounded by fake grapes. Totally kitschy-cute. You could see all the way to the back of the kitchen, and it was reassuring to know that they’re willing to expose their cooking area so openly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was sorry that one of my guy friends was not able to come with us. I think he would have appreciated the quality of waitresses that were there. Each one was friendly and accommodating and had that certain Berkeley flair that added to the ambiance of the restaurant. And they were all cute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m not a big fan of hummus, but my boyfriend will order it any chance he gets. It was wonderful! Definitely one of the best I’ve ever tasted — comparable to all the homemade hummus I’ve had in the past. Plus they added vegetable slices like beets, carrots, and red lettuce that could be used to scoop up the hummus in lieu of pita bread. Another added bonus was the pita bread came warm and was a combination of regular and whole wheat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For my main dish I ordered Grecian Spinach and Feta Fillo Dough Specialty with the lentil soup as my side dish. I’ve never seen anything like that in another other menu serving the same fare. Anton ordered the Levantine Meat Tart with chicken lemon soup (!) as his side dish. We were both impressed by the plating — it turned out that for $10.25, we got a whole dish. Not only did it come with four fillo rolls, it came with the soup, a side of hummus, three slices of varied fruit (pineapple, orange, and banana) and a small triangle of Gouda cheese. We figured the fruit and cheese served as dessert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our waitress came by to notify Anton that she had given him the wrong plate. Instead of the Levantine Meat Tart, he had been given the fillo combination, which included my Grecian Spinach and Feta, Cheese Karni, Levantine Meat Tart and Chicken Cilicia. He was so happy with the mistake he kept the plate. We both agreed that the spinach and feta rolls deserved a “happy food dance,” which is our parlance for “awesome food.” I tried some of the Chicken Cilicia, which we thought was the most shocking thing on the plate because it was actually sweet and almost dessert like. But oh so tasty!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lentil soup was good, but nothing too exciting. I thought it lacked depth. The chicken lemon soup was just so unusual we both had to try it. It was tasty and surprising. A very clever combination!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I enjoyed my beer. I had specifically requested an exotic beer, and the waitress recommended the Almaza beer from Lebanon. She said that it flew off their shelves, and they had to keep lots of extra stock to meet the demand. It was a light, not so hoppy beer, with a clear, bright yellow color. Considering the warmer weather, I thought it was a great complement to the meal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were so full from the meal that we had to forgo our dessert. I didn’t even manage to finish two of my rolls and packed them up in a to-go box with the rest of the hummus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We had to ask the waitress for directions to another place on the Berkeley campus, and she was really helpful and even provided us with a map of the campus. Apparently, they do a lot of deliveries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I went to the bathroom on the way out. It was nicely tiled and decorated. I was a little disappointed to note that there was paper on the floor, and it looked the trashcan needed to be emptied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Ever since 2004, Sahn Maru has been my go-to Korean restaurant whenever I felt my hunger pangs for authentic Korean food. No longer did I have to endure terrible service from the many decent, but not so customer-oriented Korean joints in the East Bay. I could go to Sahn Maru, where they treated every customer respectfully, from the young to the old, from the Korean to the non-Korean.\n\u003cp>The spacious restaurant is filled with tables made from large wooden slabs and chairs with tied on cushions. There is a large T.V., a Korean restaurant staple, and some traditional figurines decorate the counters. Some pictures of the food line one side of the wall. There are also some questionable pieces like a large wooden sculpture of a woman with her a** in the air. That one gave me and my friends a couple of chuckles. There are a few other random behinds on the wall too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sahn Maru is my favorite Korean restaurant because they have great food and great services. Their fish egg soup (pollock), seafood bi bim bap, pork bone and potato stew (gam ja tang), soft tofu stew, pork ribs, and crab stew are some of my go-to dishes, but no matter what I order, they always serve up the same great ban chan (side dishes). Their ban chans are well seasoned and generously portioned. You can always ask for more, too, and the staff is eager to refill! My favorite ban chan is the spicy anchovies. It sounds kind of gross, but they are packed full of calcium and taste mostly like the sugary, peppery flavorings they are covered in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sahn Maru has great dishes for carnivores that my husband orders every single time, but in my opinion, their strength is in their stews and soups. The fish egg soup (al chi gae) has a deep, complex, and full flavor. You might even enjoy the fish egg sacks too, once you get over the unusual texture. The gam ja tang also has a thick soup base that must have at least a dozen different spices in it. You know that it’s had enough time to simmer because the meat crumbles off the bones. Their noodles for the kal gook soo are made in-house and are chewy- delicious. If you must have a meat dish, I recommend the spicy pork ribs. The marinade is soaked into every fiber, filling each bite of the meat with yummy goodness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only dish that I’ve questioned is the pork bok kum (stir fry), in which they use bacon. When I ordered it, the owner warned that they do this dish a bit differently, but I was still disappointed by the soggy bacon. Bacon is meant to be consumed crispy!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attentive and friendly service is what truly sets apart this restaurant from other Korean restaurants. They are very helpful to new customers, especially those who seem like they might be new to Korean food. I’ve often heard the owner and the waitstaff explain and recommend various dishes, even warning customers of how spicy a dish might be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sahn Maru owners and staff always greet me with a warm smile and even notice when I haven’t been there recently. I’ve had my rehearsal dinner there and various birthday parties and gatherings in the large private room that customers can use for free. The restaurant is also exceptionally great for those with young kids, because they serve a tray with rice, soup, and various ban chans for the little one at no cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’ve never tried Korean food, or are tired of the same ol’ Korean BBQ, try Sahn Maru! There is usually plenty of street parking, or if you get lucky, you might be able to find a spot in the tiny, secret, side parking lot.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr size=\"1\" noshade>\n\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2009/05/linda-bulgo.jpg\" alt=\"Linda Bulgo\" hspace=\"4\" align=\"left\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Name:\u003c/strong> Linda\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Occupation:\u003c/strong> Entertainer\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Location:\u003c/strong> San Francisco\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Favorite Restaurant:\u003c/strong> Mama’s on Washington Square\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Reviewed Sahn Maru Korean BBQ:\u003c/strong> Wednesday, January 7, 2009\u003cbr>\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003cbr>\nWent into Sahn Maru, a Korean BBQ restaurant. It’s a large restaurant with about 20 tables. The waiter sat me down right away. He gave me a menu, and then the waitress came over with some barley and corn tea.\n\u003cp>I ordered the BBQ short ribs and the BBQ chicken, which came with nine side dishes, kim chee, fish cakes, mung beans, broccoli, daikon radish, mushrooms, jelly, dried fish. Also with the meal, came soup and white rice. It only took about five to ten minutes to get my order. I ate the seaweed soup first, very good. I asked the waitress if there was any MSG in any of the food, which she said no, there wasn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I looked around the restaurant and saw miniature kimonos in frames. On one side of the restaurant and on the other side, there are pictures of the foods you can order from the menu. At the register stood two dolls in a case, very pretty. There was also a large television screen playing. Their tables and chairs were made out of thick pine and their chairs were large.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The portions of the foods were perfect and very good. I especially liked the BBQ chicken. At the end of the meal the waiter brought over a cinnamon tea with nuts in it served cold. It was very good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill came to $27.05 and I added a five-dollar tip. I enjoyed the restaurant very much. I think that maybe when I’m in Oakland again, I might make a visit to have some more of their wonderful food.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr size=\"1\" noshade>\n\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2009/05/kiet-nguyen.jpg\" alt=\"Kiet Nguyen\" hspace=\"4\" align=\"left\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Name:\u003c/strong> Kiet\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Occupation:\u003c/strong> Police Sergeant\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Location:\u003c/strong> Santa Clara\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Favorite Restaurant:\u003c/strong> Hayes Street Grill\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Reviewed Sahn Maru Korean BBQ:\u003c/strong> Sunday, December 28, 2008\u003cbr>\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003cbr>\nThe restaurant is located on what is called Kimchee Row, and is close to other Korean restaurants. Sahn Maru seemed just like the rest from the outside, but an interesting ambiance waits within. The decor is unique, to say the least, with English Country decor (i.e. what I would imagine as tables and chairs straight from a kitchen on a Kentucky farm) mixed in with items from Korea (i.e. the huge Korean drum near the door).\n\u003cp>Looking past the odd decor inside, the atmosphere was very warm and inviting. The waitstaff was instantly on their feet and gave us a warm smile and greeting as we passed through the doors. Perhaps it was because it was a Sunday night around 5:30pm or because we were the only ones there, but the staff was very attentive. After our orders were taken, the waitress brought out my daughter’s kimchee and appetizers first and then ours a bit later. The kimchee here was standard with the average number of various kimchees (I counted around seven or eight various types), however, the kimchee portions were a little on the small side (although if you ask for more, the waitress happily obliges). Also, the taste is a little off. There were one of two of the dishes that weren’t as good as others, and they brought the overall kimchee taste down (probably the pickled celery-yuck).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a sort of rocky start with the kimchee, the main dishes were finally brought out piping hot. The main courses did take some time to arrive, but I suspect it was because the food was made to order. The main meat dish was tasty and is better than the average Korean restaurants. The meat was thoroughly flavorful and was not overly sweet. Manly Korean restaurants make the mistake of making their meat too sweet, and this was not the case here. Also, the meat that came with the beef and tofu soup was good as well. The slices were cut very thinly, and this, too, was not overly sweet. Though there was one small setback, the meat was not that lean, and a little over a third of the dish was fat. My daughter loved this meat, by the way, because of the thinness of the meat; she was able to chew it rather easily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the beef and tofu soup, this was delicious. The tofu didn’t overpower the dish, and there was enough beef and zucchini/cucumber to balance the dish out. What really made this dish stand out compared to other Korean restaurants is the smell of the soup. This dish is usually very pungent, but at Sahn Maru, the smell was minimal, and the taste was perfect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the main dishes were better than your average Korean restaurant, however, the kimchee was a little lacking. And although the decor was somewhat lacking, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I would probably visit them again if I happen to be in the area and craved Korean. There really wasn’t anything that wowed me enough to go all the way to Oakland for Korean food, and the place wasn’t cheap. I’d rather take my family to a good restaurant locally and save gas and a dry cleaning bill (Korean food really sticks to your hair and clothes).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of our meal, we were given a cup of cold, sweet tea. The tea was delicious and one of a kind. Do not leave this place without drinking this special dessert tea.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Ever since 2004, Sahn Maru has been my go-to Korean restaurant whenever I felt my hunger pangs for authentic Korean food. No longer did I have to endure terrible service from the many decent, but not so customer-oriented Korean joints in the East Bay. I could go to Sahn Maru, where they treated every customer respectfully, from the young to the old, from the Korean to the non-Korean.\n\u003cp>The spacious restaurant is filled with tables made from large wooden slabs and chairs with tied on cushions. There is a large T.V., a Korean restaurant staple, and some traditional figurines decorate the counters. Some pictures of the food line one side of the wall. There are also some questionable pieces like a large wooden sculpture of a woman with her a** in the air. That one gave me and my friends a couple of chuckles. There are a few other random behinds on the wall too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sahn Maru is my favorite Korean restaurant because they have great food and great services. Their fish egg soup (pollock), seafood bi bim bap, pork bone and potato stew (gam ja tang), soft tofu stew, pork ribs, and crab stew are some of my go-to dishes, but no matter what I order, they always serve up the same great ban chan (side dishes). Their ban chans are well seasoned and generously portioned. You can always ask for more, too, and the staff is eager to refill! My favorite ban chan is the spicy anchovies. It sounds kind of gross, but they are packed full of calcium and taste mostly like the sugary, peppery flavorings they are covered in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The fish egg soup (al chi gae) has a deep, complex, and full flavor. You might even enjoy the fish egg sacks too, once you get over the unusual texture. The gam ja tang also has a thick soup base that must have at least a dozen different spices in it. You know that it’s had enough time to simmer because the meat crumbles off the bones. Their noodles for the kal gook soo are made in-house and are chewy- delicious. If you must have a meat dish, I recommend the spicy pork ribs. The marinade is soaked into every fiber, filling each bite of the meat with yummy goodness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only dish that I’ve questioned is the pork bok kum (stir fry), in which they use bacon. When I ordered it, the owner warned that they do this dish a bit differently, but I was still disappointed by the soggy bacon. Bacon is meant to be consumed crispy!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attentive and friendly service is what truly sets apart this restaurant from other Korean restaurants. They are very helpful to new customers, especially those who seem like they might be new to Korean food. I’ve often heard the owner and the waitstaff explain and recommend various dishes, even warning customers of how spicy a dish might be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sahn Maru owners and staff always greet me with a warm smile and even notice when I haven’t been there recently. I’ve had my rehearsal dinner there and various birthday parties and gatherings in the large private room that customers can use for free. The restaurant is also exceptionally great for those with young kids, because they serve a tray with rice, soup, and various ban chans for the little one at no cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’ve never tried Korean food, or are tired of the same ol’ Korean BBQ, try Sahn Maru! There is usually plenty of street parking, or if you get lucky, you might be able to find a spot in the tiny, secret, side parking lot.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr size=\"1\" noshade>\n\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2009/05/linda-bulgo.jpg\" alt=\"Linda Bulgo\" hspace=\"4\" align=\"left\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Name:\u003c/strong> Linda\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Occupation:\u003c/strong> Entertainer\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Location:\u003c/strong> San Francisco\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Favorite Restaurant:\u003c/strong> Mama’s on Washington Square\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Reviewed Sahn Maru Korean BBQ:\u003c/strong> Wednesday, January 7, 2009\u003cbr>\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003cbr>\nWent into Sahn Maru, a Korean BBQ restaurant. It’s a large restaurant with about 20 tables. The waiter sat me down right away. He gave me a menu, and then the waitress came over with some barley and corn tea.\n\u003cp>I ordered the BBQ short ribs and the BBQ chicken, which came with nine side dishes, kim chee, fish cakes, mung beans, broccoli, daikon radish, mushrooms, jelly, dried fish. Also with the meal, came soup and white rice. It only took about five to ten minutes to get my order. I ate the seaweed soup first, very good. I asked the waitress if there was any MSG in any of the food, which she said no, there wasn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I looked around the restaurant and saw miniature kimonos in frames. On one side of the restaurant and on the other side, there are pictures of the foods you can order from the menu. At the register stood two dolls in a case, very pretty. There was also a large television screen playing. Their tables and chairs were made out of thick pine and their chairs were large.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The portions of the foods were perfect and very good. I especially liked the BBQ chicken. At the end of the meal the waiter brought over a cinnamon tea with nuts in it served cold. It was very good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill came to $27.05 and I added a five-dollar tip. I enjoyed the restaurant very much. I think that maybe when I’m in Oakland again, I might make a visit to have some more of their wonderful food.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr size=\"1\" noshade>\n\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2009/05/kiet-nguyen.jpg\" alt=\"Kiet Nguyen\" hspace=\"4\" align=\"left\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Name:\u003c/strong> Kiet\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Occupation:\u003c/strong> Police Sergeant\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Location:\u003c/strong> Santa Clara\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Favorite Restaurant:\u003c/strong> Hayes Street Grill\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Reviewed Sahn Maru Korean BBQ:\u003c/strong> Sunday, December 28, 2008\u003cbr>\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003cbr>\nThe restaurant is located on what is called Kimchee Row, and is close to other Korean restaurants. Sahn Maru seemed just like the rest from the outside, but an interesting ambiance waits within. The decor is unique, to say the least, with English Country decor (i.e. what I would imagine as tables and chairs straight from a kitchen on a Kentucky farm) mixed in with items from Korea (i.e. the huge Korean drum near the door).\n\u003cp>Looking past the odd decor inside, the atmosphere was very warm and inviting. The waitstaff was instantly on their feet and gave us a warm smile and greeting as we passed through the doors. Perhaps it was because it was a Sunday night around 5:30pm or because we were the only ones there, but the staff was very attentive. After our orders were taken, the waitress brought out my daughter’s kimchee and appetizers first and then ours a bit later. The kimchee here was standard with the average number of various kimchees (I counted around seven or eight various types), however, the kimchee portions were a little on the small side (although if you ask for more, the waitress happily obliges). Also, the taste is a little off. There were one of two of the dishes that weren’t as good as others, and they brought the overall kimchee taste down (probably the pickled celery-yuck).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a sort of rocky start with the kimchee, the main dishes were finally brought out piping hot. The main courses did take some time to arrive, but I suspect it was because the food was made to order. The main meat dish was tasty and is better than the average Korean restaurants. The meat was thoroughly flavorful and was not overly sweet. Manly Korean restaurants make the mistake of making their meat too sweet, and this was not the case here. Also, the meat that came with the beef and tofu soup was good as well. The slices were cut very thinly, and this, too, was not overly sweet. Though there was one small setback, the meat was not that lean, and a little over a third of the dish was fat. My daughter loved this meat, by the way, because of the thinness of the meat; she was able to chew it rather easily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the beef and tofu soup, this was delicious. The tofu didn’t overpower the dish, and there was enough beef and zucchini/cucumber to balance the dish out. What really made this dish stand out compared to other Korean restaurants is the smell of the soup. This dish is usually very pungent, but at Sahn Maru, the smell was minimal, and the taste was perfect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the main dishes were better than your average Korean restaurant, however, the kimchee was a little lacking. And although the decor was somewhat lacking, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I would probably visit them again if I happen to be in the area and craved Korean. There really wasn’t anything that wowed me enough to go all the way to Oakland for Korean food, and the place wasn’t cheap. I’d rather take my family to a good restaurant locally and save gas and a dry cleaning bill (Korean food really sticks to your hair and clothes).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
