“It’s a little on the pricey side but the soba is made with care and you can taste it and feel the excellent texture.The broth is also very good with a rich and satisfying flavor. I had the tempura soba combo and it was about $22. Also got the sashimi for $26 which was very good even though it was also expensive!All in all a great place to return to when I feel like splurging on a nice bowl of noodles.“
“Food: 5/5Service: 5/5Price: 4/5Atmosphere: 5/5 This is still one of my absolute favorite spots in Berkeley. The food is always consistently delicious and the service is great. The ambiance is relaxing and chill. The prices are a bit higher than most restaurants, but the quality of the food is worth it in my opinion.“
“We got the tonkatsu ramen and chicken katsu curry. Both were very good. The flavor of the broth was really good and the strength of the broth was moderate. The pork was cooked well. The curry had just the right amount of spice and richness.“
“The team behind Hopscotch didn't disappoint in their new iteration, Good Luck Gato. With a really clever fusion menu blending Mexican and Japanese, everything we ordered was delicious and unique. Major standouts were the tri-tip tartare, the loaded baked potato, and the egg taco. Definitely don't sleep on the cocktails either- the Lady Snowblood was fantastic. The staff was incredible and made sitting at the bar into the best seat in the house! Sophia and V made our night so fun and kept us laughing so much we lost track of time in the best way. We'll definitely be back. My only note is to please bring back brunch!!“
“Easiest 5 stars in the world, my favorite restaurant to eat at in the bay and likely in general. Insanely celiac friendly too which is a massive plus, I don't feel any anxiety eating here at all.Dietary restrictions: As someone who can't eat gluten I feel insanely safe here. It still helps to tell them about your allergies, as there are a few items containing gluten in the kitchen and they'll watch it if they know.“
“This is a place of culture.. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure was playing as we walked in. Everything was good from noodle texture to individual ingredients. Also dig the layout and interior design of the restaurant. Their exterior design is pretty unassuming, which makes the interior design that much better.Side note: The website hasn't been updated so the prices were a bit higher than expected. Still reasonable considering how bad prices are in Bay Area.“
“Your quest for ramen is over. Itani is the best ramen spot hands down. I have tried countless other places across the bay and everytime I find myself saying it's not as good as Itani. I have yet to be disappointed with any item on there menu. Slurp up my friends, it doesn't get better than this.“
“Went here for my birthday recently. Couldn't get over how good that food was. I think i might've had a dream about it after. This could be one of the best sushi restaurants in the east bay, especially after so many places closed since covid or went under new management. The service was excellent, i loved the traditional decor, but the food. THE FOOD! So fresh and beautiful, perfect smell and color. I'll definitely come back.“
