Too bad it's only open till 9pm because Saucy Asian's Korean-Californian mashups—burritos, bowls, tacos, and poke all topped with delicious sauces—have just the kind of flavors (and carbs) you'd want to soak up after a night at the bars.
Inspired by the late night city vibes that first-time restaurateur Andrew Shinn experienced while living in Korea, Saucy Asian serves riffs on Korean street food against a backdrop of huge murals and neon signage and a soundtrack of upbeat pop music and funky rap. Grab some to-go noms along with their magical lemonade popsicle pouches and make a day of it at nearby Dolores Park.
Saucy Asian catches your eye with their huge neon green signage, enticing customers to come see what this new spot is all about.

This place is bold! A huge, funky mural presents a mashup of Asian food, a King Kong-esque character, and an abstract San Francisco cityscape.
