They have really pretty outdoor seating. The banchan is excellent (like some of the best ive had). The service was excellent. The main dishes I got were not very good, tofu stew was a little bland and they don’t have bibimbap, only stir fried veggies and meat over rice.Overall I really like this place but would order something different next time.

The food was delicious. The service was very good. Just that they seemed a bit short-staffed given how busy they were. If you like spicy food, then I am pretty sure everything on the menu is good. They are very thoughtful about dietary restrictions as well (e.g., kimchi is vegan).

Friendly staff and delicious food. Restaurant & market with lots of Korean cuisine options. We tried the palace rice cakes (not spicy) and the traditional style spicy rice cakes! Both delicious.
Excellent high quality food. Love the rich flavors. Ate there a month ago and have been thinking about it ever since. I don’t eat out much but this is on the top of my short list of restaurants in Albany/

Unbelievably cute place!! Atmosphere is perfect for a date or a friendly dinner, maybe not ideal for a large party or family-style. On that note, a lot of dishes that would usually be served family style like army stew or tofu stew are smaller portions. Banchan is all very nice, and the rosé tteokbokki are lovely.

So it will not let me upload the photos but the back outside area is very nice. The waitress was very nice. The Soup for $24 for one person , with the tip, seems like a lot for a bowl of soup but,,? The soup was not too bad butyears ago there was a Korean place in WC that had their barbecue chicken lots of vegetables and kind of sweet pickled garlic, i have been looking for that korean soup, not here. And there was a place in the Korean place on Central in that Asian Shopping Mall is also out of business, they had pretty good Korean chicken soup with veggies, so , this was Okay, but
Miso chicken rice bowl is fantastic. Rice cakes with the mild savory sauce is super yummy. We were picking more ban chan out of the shopping case too.

My visit to the Korean Suprette on Solano Ave in Albany was driven by a craving for their naengmyun, but I discovered so much more. This intriguing spot is primarily a restaurant with a twist, offering a selection of limited yet delightful Korean dishes, alongside a range of takeaway items like banchan, frozen meats, and an assortment of dry goods and snacks.The ambiance of the Korean Suprette is pleasantly unique, with a decor that exudes the 'Hygg' essence of Scandinavia. It's a refreshing blend that adds a cozy and modern touch to the dining experience. We decided to try two dishes from their menu: the tonkatsu curry rice and their regular naengmyun.The service and presentation at Korean Suprette are exceptional, making each dish feel special. The tonkatsu rice was enjoyable, though I found the curry slightly sweeter than expected. The real surprise, however, was their rendition of naengmyun. It was like beholding art in a bowl, an avant-garde take on this classic cold noodle dish. The broth, tangy and somewhat fruity, deviated from the traditional beef base I was accustomed to. The noodles were perfectly chewy, accompanied by an abundance of vegetables, yet notably missing were the slices of beef typically found in naengmyun.This innovative approach to naengmyun is likely a hit for those who prefer less beef in their diet, but it didn't quite resonate with my expectations. While it wasn't exactly what I was looking for, it wasn't bad; it was just different.Overall, the Korean Suprette offers a unique dining experience that I would recommend for those looking to explore a modern twist on Korean cuisine. It's a place where traditional flavors meet contemporary culinary artistry, and though it might not align with everyone's tastes, it's certainly worth a visit for its creative flair and pleasant atmosphere.

This location featured a modest storefront that lead to a quaint dining area in the back. I came here on a rainy afternoon hoping to try something different on Solano Ave, and I'm happy I did. Possibly family members or individuals who had a vested interest in the restaurant's success served the food.Everything was great I would love to return.BB

Fantastic gem of a place that functions as both restaurant, deli, and market in Albany. Love all parts of this place. Went yesterday for Jajang black bean vegetarian noodles but often stop by to pick up some side dishes, korean drinks, snacks, and packets of instant noodles or drink mixes. Great service- they give you side dishes and a carafe of water even for single diners which is great if you are thirsty. Outdoor and indoor space to eat. Cool and interesting videos playing of places in Korea that are making different dishes. This comes in very handy when dining with small children, as I often am - waiting for your food to arrive. Really great selection and variety of frozen, refrigerated, and non refrigerated snacks, food, and side dishes and drinks plus ice cream!
