Um Ma is an unassuming restaurant located on 9th Avenue in San Francisco’s vibrant downtown area. Despite its humble exterior, this Korean eatery packs a punch when it comes to flavor and quality. With its extensive selection of wine and craft cocktails, plus an impressive array of small plates and entrees, Um Ma is the perfect spot for anyone looking to try something new and exciting.

The kimchi at Um Ma was absolutely divine. The spicy kick from the Korean chili flakes perfectly balanced the tangy, sour taste of the fermented cabbage. It’s clear that the chefs here have mastered the art of traditional kimchi-making, and I could eat this all day.

I ordered the meat dish at Um Ma, and it was cooked to perfection. The beef (I think, based on the texture) was tender and juicy, with just the right amount of marbling to make each bite feel luxurious. It was seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices that added depth without overpowering the natural flavor of the meat.

The vegetables at Um Ma were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The spinach, in particular, was cooked just until it retained some crunch, and the bean sprouts added a delightful textural element to each bite. It’s clear that the kitchen is committed to using only the highest-quality ingredients.

The restaurant has a casual, family-friendly atmosphere. The walls are adorned with bright colors and bold decorations, creating a lively and vibrant ambiance. The tables are set with simple, yet elegant tablecloths, and the lighting is warm and inviting.
