On Thursdays during lunch time, you can find the Namu stand featuring piping hot, Korean tacos at the Ferry Building while enjoying the beautiful view of San Francisco. What are Korean tacos you ask? Marinated, tender beef short ribs with diced tomatoes, rice, and green onions wrapped in 2 pieces of Nori seaweed. Very unique.
It’s actually pretty messy to eat as the seaweed falls apart by the time I get to it. I’ve never had the chance to eat this Korean taco right after I got it so I don’t know if the seaweed holds up better when it’s just made. Namu’s Korean taco is pretty tasty. But I feel subconscious about pigging out in public since you literally have to pick it up with your hands and stuff it into your mouth right away. And I always tend to drop pieces of short ribs all over myself!
FYI: It’s not really good date food, if you’re looking to impress somebody.
This is the second time I’ve had a Korean taco so I decided to try the Kimchee fried rice as well. You can choose to add a fried egg on top, which I did. I’m not a big fan of spicy food so I didn’t like the Kimchee fried rice as much. It’s super spicy and I gave the rest to my husband.
The Kimchee fried rice was $10 for a tiny plate, like in the above photo. I don’t know if it’s worth it next time. It was fun to try though.

So your Korean taco looks like a sushi roll that hasn’t been rolled up. Sure looks tasty though.
Hi Nate, it does look like a sushi roll that hasn’t been rolled up.
I love Namu’s taco!
