replying to u/RayColten: I actually tried to get a reservation to Potluck Club and they were booked. We aren't necessarily going for authentic Chinese food, as the hotel we stay at in SF is right next to Chinatown. We were looking for a unique experience. We have our eye on a couple other places for Chinese that would be more of an informal lunch option. Thanks for pointing out our lack of Korean. Jongro is a 2 minute walk from our hotel. I think we will try to go there one day for lunch. It looks amazing.
“For unique Chinese besides Potluck Club, I would consider these over Chinese Tuxedo:”
