Had a reservation, got a text our table was ready 10min late, then waited 45min to sit down. Food was average but the wait time was nearly an hour even though we had a reservation. If you’re hungry or in a time crunch, I would not recommend eating here.

Great Asian-inspired brunch spot on University in Berkeley. There are many different appetizing choices but I always seem to come back to the Club Loco Moco. Service is pretty good. It gets crowded so the staff is usually running around but somehow manages to make things work. Parking isn’t east on the street so factor in some time to get settled.

Immersive and unassuming from the outside. Drop in and be swept away with delicacies from blueberry stuffed French toast to amazing breakfasts to rival any 5 star restaurant. Highly recommend the crab and eggs Benedict with wasabi hollandaise! Simply Dope!

Always our goto on gamedays in Berkeley! Vegan breakfast scramble and bottomless mimosas for $24 is a no brainer. We also like the Benedict’s! Tasted the absolute best pancake I’ve ever had! Service is alway great and this place is very popular on weekend mornings so depending on the time, you could have a bit of a wait

Vegetarian options: Breakfast scramble and vegan scramble- the breakfast potatoes are amazing and the curry flavor of the vegan scramble is awesome. Lots of vegetarian options as their pancakes are the best!

Unique food in a comfy casual place right by Cal campus. We came by on Sunday before noon to join the wait-list. We were seated in about 25 minutes. Along the sides of the restaurant are tables with benches and cushions, and luckily we got one of these tables.

We ordered the pimped up Ramyun and dutch pancake. The waitress mentioned the dutch pancake takes about 20 minutes to prepare which was fine. What's interesting is, the Ramyun took 20 minutes to arrive, which I attribute to a backed up kitchen. Looking around at the parties who were seated moments before us, they didn't have their food yet either. The pancake came after 30 minutes and it was beyond delicious! I loved the crispy edges with the soft moist bottom. All the toppings went well with the pancake and it all went down our throats lickety split. The Ramyun was more addicting than I anticipated. The noodles were great and the candied bacon strip was a nice touch.

It's really busy here and the wait staff are always moving around doing something. They have a positive attitude and are responsive when you get their attention. They are very focused on what catches their eyes like clearing tables but it can take time to get someone's attention since no one was looking up from their tasks. My husband's water was refilled three times while we were there and my water sat empty. Perhaps my cup was a stretch as I sat inside.

I highly recommend coming here as part of your day in Berkeley! I will come back to try other items on their menu!

Spectacular dishes with Korean seasoning. Highly recommended for lovers of Korean cuisine. The only thing I should point out is that they add 20% gratuity, which I suppose is a type of tip, but they put it on your bill before paying, which seemed strange to me since normally you put it when you pay. It seemed strange to me and perhaps something excessive that perhaps I would see how so they can correct it. Other than that the flavor was very good.

They clearly didn’t braise the meat overnight as you can see from the fat portion of the pork belly, but they claim so on the menu. The pickled daikon is also disastrous.
