San Ho Won is the brainchild and passion project for chefs Hwang and Corey Lee.
Inside a sleek, non-descript building in San Francisco ’s Mission district, you’ll find a critically-acclaimed restaurant that’s impressed diners since 2021. "To me, even when I was young as a Korean, opening a Korean restaurant was my lifetime goal," said Jeong-In Hwang, chef and partner at San Ho Won. Together, they bring decades of European fine dining training and experience to the table.
The name literally translates to "mountain tiger origin" – a symbol that runs deep in Korean history and folklore. "We wanted to develop a menu that could be approachable even for non-Koreans, so they could really enjoy," said Hwang. "I believe at the same time, we can share our Korean culture."A menu that includes the ‘banchan’ or side dishes many are familiar with in Korean cuisine. Also, unique takes on Korean barbecue and spicy soup.
