Korean Dishes That Feel Like Home
At Matko, we keep things real. We serve classic Korean dishes that locals love. You can enjoy warm bowls of Beef Bulgogi, Spicy Pork, Hangover Soup, and crispy Boneless Fried Chicken.

We make meals that feel like they came from your own kitchen—without all the work.
Side Dishes That Make It Better
Our Korean meals come with classic side dishes, also known as banchan. These include fresh kimchi, pickled radish, and other rotating items made in-house. They add crunch, balance, and variety to every bite. It’s a simple way to turn a good meal into a great one.

What our guests are saying
We stumbled upon this little gem while looking for a good Korean option and we couldn’t be happier that we found it. Great atmosphere, super friendly staff and the food was outstanding! We had the beef bulgogi and spicy chicken bowls and both were delicious. The place isn’t big, but it has ample seating inside and out and we had no trouble finding a spot. If you love Korean food and are anywhere near the Mission, get yourself to Matko soon!

Matko "Flavors of Korea" delivers an exceptional dining experience. The food is simply amazing, bursting with authentic Korean flavors. The service is spectacular—my server went above and beyond, providing detailed information that ensured I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and had all my expectations met. Even provided me with samples to try out something new. Highly recommended!

Absolutely loved my visit to Matko! We had the soju and fried chicken. Both were spot on. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the whole place had this energetic, welcoming vibe. It felt like a mini cultural experience tucked right into the heart of the Mission District. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great Korean snacks and good vibes.
