Art's Cafe is the perfect little neighborhood breakfast spot serving up bulgogi and hash browns among other classic American foods. I enjoyed dining here with parents and their kids. It's clearly a cozy family friendly destination and a great small business to support.

Just came here for the first time while visiting friends in Sf. My friends April and Elmer highly recommended this place. They are open Tuesday through Sunday 730am to 3pm and closed Mondays. There is always a line so be ready to wait a little bit but it is worth it. The inside is small so we sat outside. They have a covered patio area. The whole place is family owned and they do a great job. We got the tuna melt which comes with a side. The bulgogi plate was super yummy and the rice was great with spicy sauce. The bibimbap was great and big portion. The egg was cooked perfectly. The extra sauces you can add elevate it too. The pancakes were super fluffy. The veggie omelet was yummy and it was stuffed with a lot of veggies and tons of cheese. Arts pork belly sandwich was super juicy and tender. Everything was super fresh and you could tell everything was made fresh to order. We will definitely be back and can't wait to try more stuff!

A great local spot that has the burger you're looking for! Glad I finally tried this place out in the neighborhood and I would recommend it for a comfort lunch day! Only complaint - fries were too overdone for me

This place is good for what it is! Diner food! They have a patio outside for larger parties. I got the spinach cheese omelette. I think I would've really liked the hash brown sandwich. The cinnamon french toast was a bit lacking.

Not for everyone but we loved it. A hole in the wall breakfast and lunch place run by the nicest family. Service was quick and polite. One long counter with stools. Seems mostly a before work locals place. Breakfast was delicious. I had eggs, bacon and hash browns. The bacon was delicious. The potatoes were also yummy. My partner had the bulgogi omelette which was large and delicious as well. It's near UCSF hospital so convenient after dropping friend off there. Street parking available for free and meters don't start till 9am.

Small hole in the wall for korean brunch! Tiny spot with most seats outside. The servers were all very nice and chatty. I got the bulgogi omelette, which was pretty solid. Hashbrowns were nice and crispy. This place is easy to miss since its so small, but was solid!! Food does take a while since the diner is so small, but its nice supporting a smaller business

This is a no frills, all American diner with a Korean twist. I loved this diner when I first visited years ago, and recently came back after they changed ownership. I was happy to see that the food was still just as good as my previous visit. My favorite is their hash brown sandwich! It's not something you find in most restaurants, and is perfectly crispy. I was craving a traditional American breakfast this day, so I opted for the hot link hash brown sandwich, which satisfied my craving. I need to come back and try their Korean items. This isn't the place for a fancy brunch. It's a good, solid, traditional diner. It's also a small family owned business. The family was SO lovely, kind, and provided wonderful customer service. Check them out and support them if you're in the area!

Veggie omelet / hot links omelet - 4/5, can't go wrong with an omelet! Hash browns were great as usual. Spicy pork bibimbap - 3/5, good amount of food and lots of veggies! Unfortunately the sauce seemed to be lacking something flavor-wise, but not bad.
