We sat in their cute backyard and enjoyed our meal on a beautiful day. Food is delicious and ample for the price.

What a find! I live in West Marin but when I have to schlepp to E. Bay, lunch here (almost) makes the long haul bearable. Really delicious food in a very pleasantly quirky environment with a sweet patio. Friendly service. I got a $49 parking ticket for overstaying my 90 minute spot and I (almost) didn't mind...the lunch was so good

Kid-friendliness: We have been coming here since the start. We always enjoy coming because we have two little kids and getting to sit inside or outside is a great benefit. If we sit inside, the kids can look at the snacks along the wall, watch cooking YouTube videos on the tv or watch the servers. If we sit outside the can make a bit more noise and we can admire how it doesn’t feel like we are on Solano Avenue but rather like in someone’s backyard. I highly recommend the spicy tofu soup with beef.

Clean, cozy, and charming eatery and mini-market tucked away on Solano Ave.
The restaurant is back behind the kitchen and includes a cute patio (with heaters!) that features a gorgeous magnolia tree.
The steaming spicy Korean soups were the perfect meals to enjoy during a chilly January evening. I had the doenjangjjigae (spicy soy bean beef stew) and the spicy fried tofu — both came out steaming and maintained their flavor even as things cooled off. Everything was high quality.
The service was quick and attentive and we had no problem splitting the check across two cards. They were very friendly without being over attentive, giving us the space we needed for a good dinner catch up between friends.
This place is a longtime favorite of my Berkeley friend and I’m so glad I finally got a chance to try it with her. I’ll be back again soon — and might grab some Korean groceries (like kimchi and marinated bulgogi) on my way out!

The flavor of the food is really great. Better than every Korean cuisine at similar price we tried before. It took a little bit long between we placed our orders and got the food

I have been to this restaurant about 5 times. I usually go early for lunch. Each dish I have ordered has been truly tasty. The bap sang is a great mix of flavors. The special this month is a delicious noodle dish.
As a frequent visitor to the Bay area, Korean food is always a must, and this trip we decided to try the Korean Superette. One of our group is vegetarian, and they were thrilled with the options. The spicy tofu and vegetarian Jjajangmyeon were absolutely fantastic. For the meat-eaters, the bossam was a standout - fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. To top it all off, the market section of the restaurant is a treasure trove of Korean snacks and ingredients. We enjoyed browsing after dinner and picking up goodies to take home. If you're looking for authentic, delicious Korean food, Korean Superette is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Had a great meal here. It is a restaurant and also a little market. Bright me back to South Korea for a moment! The banchan was great, bossam was so good, and the gochujang braised pork ribs were so tasty! I would definitely return!

Had a friend come up for a weekend, so we got the October special to treat ourselves a little bit. Prices were definitely on the higher side, but the food was amazing as usual.

We’ve been going to their sister store down the street and love the food there. Recently, the staff informed us about Superette so we thought we’d give it a try. We ordered the rice bowl with spicy pork and spicy ramen.
The rice in the rice bowl was undercooked and the pork while somewhat spicy, was overwhelmingly sweet. I rarely send food back but this was the rare occasion that I did. I asked for light sauce and it was still pretty heavy when it came back but the rice was cooked properly.
The spicy ramen appeared to a package of instant noodle fancied up with fresh vegetables and a house soup base.
We also ordered the simple chicken which was quite oily even for fried chicken. The batter they used held way too much of the oil.
To their credit, they did comp the rice bowl. The place is nice but the food is lacking.
Great vibes! Medium food.
