Nestled in downtown Berkeley, this Korean restaurant offers a fresh take on quick, flavorful meals reminiscent of popular assembly-style eateries. Patrons appreciate the variety of ingredients, especially the sauces, though some dishes may fall short on heat or flavor. While the atmosphere is modern and the service friendly, inconsistent cooking temperatures and portion discrepancies often leave diners wanting more. Vegetarian options, including tofu, are available but lack moisture, while the overall pricing aligns with the area. Despite some minor critiques, the restaurant garners solid praise for its vibrant flavors and generous servings, promising a satisfying experience for Korean cuisine enthusiasts.

This restaurant offers a variety of large Korean dishes with a decent selection. I especially enjoyed the Seoul Heat dish, although the prices were a bit higher than expected for the portion size. However, being located in inner city Berkeley, the prices were about what you would anticipate. Overall, it was a great experience and I look forward to returning next time I have the opportunity.

I really enjoy this restaurant - the owner and staff are exceptionally friendly. The establishment has a modern, clean, and stylish design. The food is delicious with a variety of flavors, and I appreciate the fact that it is also healthy and suitable for a quick meal on a daily basis.

Korean taste is good, but rice is hard and could not say whether the bowl should be hot or cold (seed on lukewarm). it was soggy chaos and could not really finish. we did ourselves, so maybe that was the problem.

So...just planned a take out order for 12 people with each person ordering individually...only to learn that the restaurant changed their hours and now close at 330, without changing what their website says. Fun!
