Reservations Not Taken
In the westernmost reaches of the city, way out in the Outer Sunset, you'll often find a small yet determined crowd braving the fog and waiting for a table in a restaurant that has a strange resemblance to... a garage. Welcome to Toyose, a late-night Korean gem that's housed in, yes, a converted garage. The beer comes in plastic liter bottles; the fried chicken wings are legendary; and a wait is more or less guaranteed. It's well worth it, as you'll quickly realize once you're seated—preferably in a booth, that includes a doorbell to ring for service. Order the aforementioned fried chicken, a seafood pancake and one of their bubbling casseroles that includes soul-warming spicy broth and instant ramen noodles.
