Does Namu’s Inner Richmond address feel too off the beaten path for you? Does the challenging parking situation over there deter you? Well, you should take advantage of their new promo called Taxi Fare Tuesdays, because during the month of October, Namu will deduct the cost of your cab fare to get there from your bill. Just bring in your receipt. See, you are one step closer to their wonderful kalbi.
