Haven’t been to this place for a long time. They renovated the entire restaurant and seating spaces are not crowded as before. Food quality is good and I love they always have variety of vegetables in the sushi roll and also buckwheat noodle salad. They provide variety of side dishes too. Good service and friendly staff too :) The special multi grain drink is also a traditional Korean drink which I do not find in other restaurant.

We got kimchi pancakes, kimchi fried rice and curry Ramen.Good vegetarian options here..The first two dishes were top notch.But the Ramen was boiling hot. Bubbles on the top.. no kiddingI had to wait 30 mins to take my first bite.Loved the service. It was quick and simple. They dont shy away with condiments.

Please try the bibimbap - it has a great variety of veggies in it which makes the the taste very refreshing. The spicy beef brisket noodle soup is also pretty good. Overall, it is a little bit pricy(I guess most Korean restaurants are kind of pricy), but this one is probably one of the best and most authentic Korean restaurants I have ever tried around here.

Pretty good Korean restaurant near UC Berkeley. We took our God daughter who is a freshman at UC Berkeley, out for lunch. We found this restaurant on Yelp with good reviews.Since our God daughter likes spicy food, we ordered a few spicy Korean food. She seemed to enjoyed the soft tofu with beef in medium spicy soup. We tried the Chopchae and it was delicious. We also had BBQ pork belly and it was tasty. Another good dish we ordered was the Kimchi pancake. It’s similar to the Chinese onion pan cake. They did a good job on this one.All dishes came with rice and a few small sides like kimchi and seaweed. We chose the brown rice. You can also get the regular white rice to go with the food.Prices are reasonable at around $12-15 each dish. The service was good and the food came out pretty fast.Parking is on street with two hour limit.

What amazing food. How do they crisp the salmon skin like that?!?!!! I had only gotten their delicious bi him bop roll for a quick lunch before but this time.....I came with my family and a lot of food was ordered and it was all amazing! The staff worked together really well and were really sweet to the kids too.

Jhap Chae Fried Rice was very tasty. The Jhap Chae (which has sweet potato noodles rather than rice) was also good but a little too sweet for our tastes.

This place is probably great, but we didn’t get to eat here because the woman at the table next to us had apparently had such a hard day she didn’t want to sit next to “these people”. Thanks for sharing your prejudice and making our evening worse, whoever you are, awful stranger. We got up and left after that, but the restaurant staff did try to deal with it sensibly.

Strong contender in the local bibimbap and Korean bulgogi Field, the food here tastes fresh, and whereas they dont have as wide a compliment of side dishes as some Korean places, they still have a nice selection. I ordered the bulgogi in the hot bowl, and everything was really good. I would give this a five-star review, except the cushions that people sit on in this restaurant need to be replaced ASAP. Their lumpy, have springs sticking out of them, and are overall, uncomfortable.The food here, however, is fresh, and delicious.

Lovely panchang (side dishes)! I ordered the spicy beef stew that comes with bean sprouts, shredded beef brisket, egg and glass noodles. This is a very traditional Korean dish that doesn’t seem to be very popular in the West Coast. If you want sample something new, try this dish!The soup is nicely flavored, very good portion. The beef brisket is a little bit on the dry side, but overall a solid dish! The side dishes are amazing! I love the fermented spicy tofu and the radish salad.You should definitely give this restaurant a try! Probably one of the best Korean restaurants In Berkeley.
