Giwa


Elisa Ludwig of City Paper finds that everything tastes good at Giwa, the new Sansom Street Korean take-out spot.

Serving mostly traditional dishes, Giwa is quick-fix food with a full-service attitude. Though it has the spare, clinical aesthetic usually associated with carry-away containers and Thank You! bags, there’s room for about 50 people between a smattering of tables and counter seats. The open kitchen behind the cashier counter is the focal point, with the menu posted overhead. If you decide to sit, the food comes out as it’s ready, which is to say you may well end up with an entree before an appetizer.
