Chef Seongho has dedicated years to showcasing a variety of Korean dishes as a head chef in traditional Korean restaurants. Yet, he always carried a deep nostalgia for the gukbap his grandmother lovingly made during his childhood in Korea. On cold days, nothing was more comforting than a warm, hearty bowl of gukbap, brimming with tender meat—a dish that conveyed family warmth and became a source of strength.
Inspired by these cherished memories, Chef Seongho made the bold decision to leave behind the wide variety of dishes he once prepared to bring the true taste of Korean gukbap to San Francisco with the opening of ‘Seongho.’ To recreate the deep flavor his grandmother would simmer all day in her kitchen, he prepares his gukbap with the same care, using a broth simmered for 24 hours and carefully selected ingredients.
Now, he’s eager to offer a warm, hearty bowl of gukbap to people in chilly San Francisco. Just one taste of this deeply satisfying dish, and guests will experience a warmth and fulfillment they won’t find at other Korean restaurants.
