The Buoy

Hayes Valley diners turn to The Buoy for Korean-inspired dinners, sandwiches and bakery treats that feel fresh, thoughtful and full of flavor. Our tasting menu is a full-course Korean-inspired meal, with dishes like tender beef tartare and a buttery galbijjim steak served with rice and chimichurri.

Our cafe pours a well-made black sesame latte and refreshing raspberry omija soda, and our sandos, rice bowls and salt bread churros are made to be shared or enjoyed on their own. Our host walks guests through each dish, so groups of any size feel at ease and know what they're tasting.

The modern, trendy space in the evening makes it a natural choice for dates, gatherings and a relaxed lunch alike. Serving San Francisco and neighbors across the city, we'd love to have you in for a meal or a coffee.
