What are your favorite small Korean and Japanese restaurants in Bay Area

I know there are obviously A LOT of restaurants, but I'm talking about those small ones that just have a nice environment and calmer feeling, larger ones you feel kind of rushed to eat..
Some of my favorites are -TantoEnJangmojibKorea Fusion(Now closed ><) and for a bit larger scale jangsujang...but I haven't been here in crazy long!VerdeA new place also Gyu-kaku...is pretty good.
I'm trying to find more restaurants to try out so let me know :] and preferably ones that also have a vegetarian/fish based menu as well...I've also been trying to find a really good place that serves bibimbap with a choice of shrimp or some type of fish but so hard to find.. @.@

well, ohgane in oakland is my favorite and im pretty picky in korean food. its not really small, but its worth trying out if u like good food. they have good duk bo sam too. which is rare in the bay area

Sendai and gyu kaku!

OB Chicken Town in Oakland! Toyose in SF.

Oh! There was this Korean restaurant that my best friend took me to in Oakland, but I forgot what the name was.
If anyone knows where Telegraph is, it's around that Korean section of Oakland.

I second toyose in san francisco! it's pretty chilled and nice place to hang out for drinks and snacks now and then. plus, it's literally a garage restaurant so that's pretty cool~
