Nestled in the bustling heart of San Francisco, Aria Korean Street Food is a culinary gem that brings the vibrant flavors of Korea to the streets with a unique twist. Specializing in Korean cuisine, this restaurant has rapidly become a local favorite, known for its innovative approach to classic dishes.

Aria's signature dish, the Korean Burrito, is a must-try for anyone looking to experience a flavor explosion. Packed with kimchi fried rice or marinated bulgogi, this burrito is elevated with a delightful mix of Mexican cheese, tater tots, and a drizzle of chipotle creama for just $19. If you're a fried chicken aficionado, don’t miss their Ganjang Fried Chicken Burrito, which tempts with its perfectly crispy chicken and succulent toppings, all bundled in a warm tortilla.

The charmingly casual atmosphere of this take-out only establishment adds to the excitement, as the tantalizing aroma of something frying fills the air, blending harmoniously with Latin beats that echo through the nearby streets. As you approach, you might second-guess the humble exterior, but rest assured, the culinary delights that await inside (or rather, at the window) are anything but ordinary.

Patrons rave about Aria’s fried chicken, describing it as “perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside” (Kori Dobbs) and “chicken so crisp it mocks the passage of time” (Ryan Taylor). It’s no wonder that this place has a loyal following; the flavors and commitment to quality shine through everything they serve. Many customers express their admiration for the Gangjung Fried Chicken, available in various forms including tacos and burritos, with one enthusiastic fan stating, “If you like chicken…this is the best place ever” (Renee Kar-Johnson).

While Aria maintains a thriving delivery service, it’s essential to note that dining in is not available, making it a perfect spot for those craving delicious food to enjoy at home. However, it’s also worth highlighting that the fast pace during busy times can sometimes lead to slower service, as noted by customers, yet most agree the food’s quality makes any wait worthwhile.

For those seeking a blend of cultural flavors and culinary creativity, Aria Korean Street Food is a delightful find that promises to tantalize your taste buds and leave you yearning for more. Whether you’re ordering a fried chicken taco or indulging in a hearty Korean burrito, each dish comes with the essence of homemade comfort and vibrant flavor.

Wouldn't risk my life to come pick up in-person for this chicken but I would order on Doordash. I ordered at a quiet time of the day so this time the chicken was actually crispy and quite enjoyable. It was well breaded and well seasoned. I like that they only use boneless dark meat. The bulgogi kimbap though... it should be re-named to beef jerky kimbap or 4-day old bulgogi kimbap because that's what that really was. I should've taken a photo to show how dark and dry it really was.

I ordered delivery from this place and tried a few items. The Korean fried chicken taco with green sauce was delicious — the chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The gangjung chicken was also crispy, but the sauce was a bit too sweet and sticky for my taste. The fried chicken burrito was good, especially with the tater tots both inside and on the side. The only downside was how it was wrapped in aluminum foil; it got stuck to the foil, which I don’t think is very hygienic. They should have used parchment paper before wrapping it in foil.

One of those spots that makes you second-guess the address. You pull up, see the bare pickup window, hear Latin music bleeding into the street, and think—maybe they’re closed, maybe this is a front. The air’s got that mix of diesel, spice, and something frying just out of sight. Then the box hits your hands. Chicken so crisp it mocks the passage of time—still shattering after a 30–45 minute ride home. Whoever’s back there isn’t just cooking; they’re running a quiet little religion of crunch and heat. The sauces? Dangerous. I took eight and felt like a rookie. This is food for a beer in one hand, a joint in the other, and a moment to yourself. The kind of meal that reminds you—sometimes the best thing you’ll eat comes from a place you weren’t even sure was open.

If you like chicken….this is the best place ever. I can’t even count on both my fingers and toes how many times I come here in a year. This place knows how to do what they do best. I crave Aria daily, and have to force myself not to order from here. I’m a big fan of their combo plates. And the best thing is, the left overs are just delicious. This place knows how to do KFC and I’m a bit Aria fan. 10/10 would recommend to check this place out!!

3.5 if i could. totally wish they can expand and get a bigger shop for more dining because take out and the cramp space just ain't it. i like aria! i think in the past it would be really expensive just because i was a youth in school who made no money. but the quality matched the price,, ONLY IF YOU EAT IN/DINE IN. i love the chicken and the combo for everything. i wish they offered their secret menu things again. the take out just taste sad. how can u taste the feeling? well the takeout makes the chicken soggy/lukewarm and dulls the color of the food itself. wait time is on the longer side with customer service being good ! i think they would get so much more customers or offer dining in if they had a bigger space. the dining in experience with the tray is just irreplaceable and enjoying esp when you're with a friend but now they're just exclusively takeout due to the space (i assume) so it's hard for me to rate this place any higher. aria will always have a nostalgic place in my heart :')

So good! So much better than I thought it would be! When it gets busy the staff do not seem to handle it well, they were unbelievably slow at first and I wasn’t stoked, but it’s absolutely worth the wait. Really nice people and really good food, although if we’re being honest I might steer clear of the rice bowls as they are a bit of a rip. Get the tacos, and I’ve still got to try out the Bulgogi fries but I imagine they’re spectacular.

Ordered delivery, the chicken was perfect and the sauce was perfect complement to it. Also got a burrito, interesting that tater tot’s were inside and a handful in the container too.
