While the preparation may come from chef Junsoo Bae’s roots in Korea and his French training at the Culinary Institute of America, the real star of the show in this Russian Hill dining room is California market produce. Whether you’re eating greens from Brooks and Daughters in Forestville or squid from Four Star Seafood just down by the Bay – or anything else from one of the suppliers proudly listed on SSAL’s website – under Bae’s stewardship, you know produce will be transformed into something remarkable. Menus shift not only by week, or day, but sometimes by the moment depending on what’s fresh and available. But you might get the likes of Smoked Island Creek oyster with bacon and aged kimchi, giant octopus with malted and crispy sunchoke, or Ōra King salmon with honeycrisp apple and kohlrabi.
