Interesting place to come visit. Korean and Japanese inspired cuisine, delicious and packed with flavor. They offer foods like spam masubi, rice bowls tacos, etc. What I came for was their version of a hamburger. Packed with protein and condensed between two light fried garlic buns, a different type of carb and equally delicious. This restaurant sits in a very busy area, college town, so it can be hectic getting here, but there’s street parking and parking garages. The wait here wasn’t long at all, and the restaurant itself was clean and the staff helpful. If there are lines or if you would rather order from a screen, they offer that here as well. To go orders are offered here as well.

The food is great, no service to be had cause it was all tablet. But I love being in the food hall at the public market has nice vibes.

Never skip an opportunity to get Kamikaze fries! They are an entire meal all on their own, but the rice buns are amazing too!10/10

One of the most convenient takeout locations in Berkeley. They serve some sort of Asian fusion. Service is fast and prices are reasonable. If you order online sometimes they will get your order wrong.

I was looking for Sam since they closed the San Jose location. Since then I’ve gone to all locations, but Berkeley seems to pull me in with that short rib bowl.
Up front the food was definitely pricy, but the portion was huge and I barely finished. My friend agreed, getting the poke bowl. Definitely a great place, and close to my residence hall. I'm coming back

Staff couldn't be bothered to stop watching her Kpop to work. Food suffered some serious quality control. I should have realize this place was bad since it was so empty in there

Today I went to the Berkeley location and my mom found a chicken wing in the umami fries. I showed Alan Tsai and the cashier the fries both told me I put the chicken in the fries, and that they do not cook the chicken with the fries. Instead of fixing the problem Alan and cashier began to laugh in my face. I asked them if the mistake was funny and the cashier said she smiles at all customers, Alan continued to laugh. My mom asked for a refund, but Alan had to be convinced again that that was the right thing to do. I’ve led shifts in customer service and this was the wrong way to do it. We will not be returning.

Today 7/25/24 my family and I came in to eat. This was our first time, but we will never return. Your staff Alan Tsai needs customer service training. He and the other cook put wings in our umami fries and instead of apologizing and remaking the order Alan and your other staff decided to say we did it and laugh at us. They never apologized, or even offer to remake the food. Also, we placed our order before at least 5-6 people in line (who all order in-person). We received our food after all those people and when address Alan Tsai explained we order wings, mind you everyone order wings after us. It's an unfortunate situation because the food was good, but your staff had lost us as customers. We would have returned, but now we will be letting others know about the service we received so they will not be treated terribly.
