Koja Kitchen in San Francisco

Koja opened up a new location in the Inner Richmond neighborhood of SF, on Clement. I've been to the Berkeley location multiple times, getting the same thing (a Pork Koja). We decided to try some new stuff.

Short Rib (Beef) Bowl: tender short rib beef with mild chile, scallion, sesame. Kim Chee and Mixed Greens on the side.

Umami Fries. Waffle fries, miso coconut pork, aioli, masago, green onion, fried shallot, red sauce. The latter is a chile sauce that gives this dish a slight kick, IMHO. Other folks might find the heat pretty high. Sublime. 

Beef Taco: Korean beef, nori, sauteed onion, fried shallot, red sauce, japanese major, sesame vinaigrette. The contents of the taco: utterly divine. The tortillas themselves? Your basic corn tortillas, not warmed up or charred in the least. The closest thing to a miscue I've experienced at one of the Bay Area's best new chains.

I still think their Kojas are the best thing. Check them out:
