Great location and atmosphere, with nice food. The service and waiting line management could have been better, but overall a nice place to go!

The service is not that great. We went on a Friday night and it was not busy but they did take a lot of time to take our orders. Besides that the food and the cocktails were really good.

I haven't done a review in awhile. I just have to get that 4.3 up to at least 4.7. I only got one dish so far and plan to come back for sure. I'm ready to be disappointed but highly doubt it. Unless the chef spits out a mouthful of spiders onto my plate. I'm sure whatever they do is fiyah fire. Even the spider spit. But I'd rather not have that. Everything on the menu sounds as great as what I got. Udon Curry with Korean Fried Chicken. It's one of those meals that leave you enchanted and joyful at the end. I was totally impressed. I was in a rush but otherwise I would've took off my clothes and took a nap until I was hungry enough to order again. Long story short. This shiet was bomb diggity good good. But on some seriousness...Looking forward to trying out more of their food. I get a sense they're on that trendy type wave...but the flavor was amazing and I'm hoping they keep it authentic and true to the ingredients, culture, and recipes. That's what really matters in the end. You don't have to try to impress anybody with that Barbie or hot Cheetos type shniz. Though I appreciate it in it's flare and appeal to modern relevancy. And I'm sure it's amazing. But stay true to the simplicity of elegant and authentic flavors that make your dishes shine. Real talk. Real game. That food is the real thang to me. Keep doing your thing. I'll be back.

I love coming to this place. It's a nice spot to pre-game before shows at the UC Theater. Good beer selection and very friendly, welcoming staff.

Food and service were great! Server was very attentive. The venue next door was a bit disruptive with people walking in and out like a revolving door to use the restroom. Other than that it was a great experience!

1st time here and absolutely love this place. Some unique breakfast scrambles and an amazing millionaire bacon! Worth getting up early on Sunday!

Asian food enhances everything. This is the commercial Western brunch format, elevated with the perfect Asian touch.

We came with high hopes based on positive reviews but walked away unimpressed. The food is heavy on the meat dishes, slim pickings for a vegetarian clientele. The shishito peppers were undercooked, the Big Jjam Bbong seafood soup was so huge that I could barely make a dent and wasn't really served in a way to share. It was spicy all right but kind of on a flat base, without much umami. My wife's curry noodles were also on the flat side. Normally we always take leftovers home but not today. While the food was moderately ok, the ambiance was worse. There was an icy draft through the place the whole time (admittedly it was a cold day), so we kept our jackets on throughout dinner. The room is large and unadorned with hard surfaces all around, so it's very loud and echo-y, even though it was only sparsely occupied. Berkeley has so many better choices, try, e.g. IMM Thai right next door.

Amazing every single time. I’ve tried their Francis scramble, Florentine eggs Benedict, buttermilk pancakes, appetizer sample, and dolsot with bulgogi. Everything is so good!

Prices are outrageous. If you want to pay $27 for scrambled eggs this is your place

We had a reservation Christmas eve and they decided to have a private party. They never notified us and could care less to help us when we arrived. We made reservations month in advance. Don't trust reservation system here.

This place was busy, which was expected for weekend brunch. Full coffee bar&yummy food cooked perfectly. Great service and seems like a cool local spot for groups and families.
