Menu as captured Sep 1, 2026 · source ↗
We hold 230 venues in San Francisco, CA and could score 133 of them. This one is not among them, so it has no position — not a low one.
There is no score breakdown to show: nothing we read about this venue earned points in any of the four categories, so a bar chart of zeroes would look like a verdict on the kitchen rather than on what it publishes. What we did read is below.
v1.7.4 0.0/100 = sourcing 0.0/50 (named-farm 0 distinct, named-region 0 distinct, attribute 0 distinct, buzzword 0 distinct) + farm partners 0.0/20 (none scored) + registry 0.0/12 (none listed) + press 0.0/18 (capped at 35% of the 0.0-point evidence base).
Buzzwords only. This venue uses sourcing language ("farm-fresh", "locally sourced") but names no farms, regions, or verifiable attributes.

“ABSteak is the first San Francisco outpost of celebrity chef Akira Back, who owns numerous restaurants internationally and in the U.S. This subterranean Korean barbecue spot has vague clubstaurant vibes, but it’s mostly enjoyable, and the [smokeless grills](/2024/9/17/24247406/ab-steak-san-francisco-union-square-opening-akira-back) keep dinner pleasant. Oenophiles will want to check out the wine list along with the showy case at the center of the restaurant. It’s a bit pricier than other KBBQ experiences, but if you’re looking for some ambiance for, say, a date or hard-to-please friends and family, this is worth a try. * [Book a table](https://reservations.safegraph.com/reserve/223536?utm_so”
