Good food, impressive service. I mis-ordered and the fixed it for me even though it was my mistake.
I tried Matko at a Berkeley Bowl pop up. Not only was it wonderfully delicious food but the owner, Ina, is very kind and clearly puts a lot of care and heart into what she makes. Definitely don’t miss out on trying Matko it’s a winner.
Each bowl at Matko is flavorful and has a good serving of meat that suits the $16 price tag. Unfortunately, the add-ons feel like I'm getting nickled and dimed. $1 for sauce? $1.50 for two sets of utensils with two napkins? $0.50 for a bag? It makes every order an exercise in frugality.

Matko, a Korean restaurant located in San Francisco, offers a range of delectable dishes. The menu features notable options such as the Hangover Soup, Haejangguk, and the popular beef bulgogi. The Hangover Soup, available for delivery through Uber Eats, is a hearty and beefy broth with a slight kick, filled with an ample amount of beef. Another customer favorite is the tofu kimchi bowl with noodles, known for its spiciness and flavorful taste.
The beef bulgogi, a signature dish, has the perfect balance of sweetness and is served with soft, easily breakable beef, accompanied by soft tofu in kimchi juice. The kimchi has a well-balanced flavor, not overly spicy. Matko's dishes are served in satisfying portion sizes, making them a suitable option for work lunches, although they may be considered a bit expensive for takeout.
Customers have praised the quality of the food, with the meats being of good quality, especially the mild and flavorful bulgogi. The customizable bowls, featuring a choice of protein, base, and add-ons, have been well-received, with the purple rice, japchae, and side offerings of corn, radish, and cucumbers adding to the overall enjoyment. The service and the cozy outdoor seating area on Valencia Street have also been highlighted as positive aspects of the dining experience.
