I haven’t been here in quite a while since I studied at Berkeley, but the quality and taste is considerably worse. I think there was a change in ownership,and the food is not authentic at all anymore. Wings are bland and not crispy. Scallion pancake is soggy and tasteless. The only thing that was decent was the Gimbap. Sad to see what was once a bustling Korean restaurant back during my college days become soulless. We spent almost $60…terrible deal.

The first time I ordered from here the tteokbokki it tasted really good…disappointed my second time around. Overcooked ramen, few rice cakes scattered around with too much ramen and a hard boiled egg that came with it…the sauce was just spicy with no flavor at all.

The worst three stars I ever gave. The best 3 stars I ever gave. The blandest meal I ever had. Not sure how I feel righr now. I might have preferred homemade rice and butter with salt, and a glass of ice water. I mighr have cooked an egg and put kimchi on top. And, I would have been happier. So, I think this was the least amount of effort Ive ever seen in a meal. But it was fine? Sorry cant give you a 4 or 5. Im so perplexed.

Great if you’re feeling introverted. Decent food. But they don’t provide takeout bags without cash, which is a frustrating experience when you spend 35$ and leave a tip. I would come again, just wouldn’t tip next time (you do all your own ordering & bussing anyways)

Definitely better korean places, but it's open late and it's reliable if you want something hot late. Kimchi omelettes are good.
I ordered a beef soondubu with rice and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors of the soup complimented the meat and veggies super well. It also came with a side dish of fried tofu skin. Everything is self-serve, you order on a tablet, pick up your own food, and bus your own dishes which is every introverts dream! It was also pretty quiet when I went on a weekday lunch. Very reasonable prices as well. Would recommend again if I’m back in the area.

Does not have banchan! Would go well with the otherwise bit fatty/oily pork belly. Style is definitely a bit localized, compared to other Korean places that veer more traditional/authentic. Chicken wings are a bit too soft/not crispy for taste.
