We were simply searching for a quick spot to grab some Korean food, but we ended up discovering an absolute gem! The bibimbap is pure gold—flavorful and incredibly satisfying. The kimchi and side dishes were generous in portion and absolutely delicious. We’ll definitely be coming back! Hands down, the best Korean food I've ever had in California. We devoured every bite!

Best Korean food in bay area. From bancai to rice crackers, I don’t think I have ever had those delicious food ever. Apparently a lot of specialty rather than supermarket brought kimchi. Soymilk cold noodles are also really good.

Very family friendly. We rolled in with 3 kids and two adults at 5p and they were able to put us in a room area on our own so the kids could go a little wild. Great foresight on their side. Excellent side dishes (even got extra fishcake). The non-spicy food eater in our group loved the mung bean pancakes (even more than the delicious fried chicken). Really happy with our visit and am happy to go as much as I can. The crispy rice is such a nice, delicious touch.

I really wish i could give 5 star because the food and service deserve this. However, i could not ignore the extremely high prices on the food. Example, bulgogi dish is $42. I know this is Berkeley, but still, two main dishes, chicken wings and one Soju should not cost $178 (including the tip). Otherwise, the food was excellent. Not crazy about the dome of crispy rice, too dry and hard to chew, even after soaking it in the tofu soup

Great spot for Korean food at this part of Berkeley. This is a friends favorite so we headed here for his visit. All the food we ordered was really good. Definitely coming back for more.

One of the better Korean spots around Berkeley. Really enjoyed the bibimbap which included a side of tofu stew. All the stews are great here. All the sides were good too. Wings were okay but meat not quite as moist/soft as I had expected. Overall a bitttt pricey too.
