    Millionaire's Bacon® is something everybody should experience--the new Millionaire Wraps are perfect
    Matt C.

    Dazzling and delicious, my favorite place to get Korean Fried Chicken--features must-try fusion flavors like millionaires bacon, coupled with attentive service and a swanky ambiance that truly make this spot a top ten contender for best in Berkeley.

    Came here for brunch with the family. Hubby and son ordered crab and salmon benedicts, daughter ordered the kids pancake with fruit and I ordered their version of "jook". We call shared the KFC bites (soooo good). Everything was delicious!

    Bulgogi Bowl Green tea latte
    Stella C.

    I was craving some brunch so decided to come to the Berkeley Social Club. They have a very diverse Korean-Western fusion menu and will have something for everyone. We especially enjoyed the salmon benedict and the bulgogi bowl. Service was great. We came on a Monday at 11:30 and were seated with no wait. The restaurant is spacious and clean.

    Really cool vibes at this place. The servers were very friendly and happy! It's a Korean inspired fusion place - so many dishes to try! We only tried 3 of them - loved them all! The tamarindo was phenomenal!! Can't wait to come back and try more food :) We tried the gooey corn, BSC Bao and K tacos. We asked for some extra spicy sauce and they have that to us - YUM!

    Dirty Ube Latte

    My second time here. My daughter & I enjoyed ourselves. A treat for me from her for Mom's Weekend This time I got: - 2 Eggs , Millionaire Bacon which comes with potatoes & white toast (I swapped the white toast for English muffin) My daughter got: - Spicy Pork Bowl - Dirty Ube Latte (dirty means espresso added) Pros: - I always like the vibe of this place, just happy staff & customers in a beautiful place with good food. - the staff are very attentive - food presentation & flavor is great Cons: - parking is tough - the restaurant is noisy , so not a pick on an anxious day

    Korean KFC

    I came here for a brunch date on a saturday, and I totally understand it being busy given the time we came, but it was extraordinarily loud in the restaurant; I had to shout to the person sitting across from me to speak. I noticed it's a spot where groups like to come & dine, it's not the place if you're trying to eat a nice meal. The food itself was below average. The BSC Scramble could have used more egg, the potatoes weren't seasoned. The french toast also lacked flavor, I added some jam to help lift the flavor of the dish. The Korean KFC was the worst dish, and we regret ordering it. The chicken itself was dry, stringy, and unseasoned. It was over fried and dried out the inside, the honey mustard mayo was needed to made it edible. I will not be returning.

    Parking is a little tricky but we were able to find a spot right away! We went on a Sunday so it was really busy around 12-1pm. We put ourselves on the waitlist and the wait was about 30-40mins. I've gotten the Ube latte, and it was pretty yummy but I could barely taste the ube. We waited about 25mins for our food to come out but it was fresh and hot when we've gotten it. It was super yummy! I liked my scrambled bulgogi. It came with potatoes and a slice of toast. Overall I finished my plate! We ordered: Side of Mixed fruits Bulgogi scrambled Tornado Bulgogi Omurice Dirty Ube Latte Hot chocolate (not pictured) The place was really pretty but by the host stand it was very tight. Better to wait outside for your table!

    I've been to BSC a couple of times during undergrad, but this was my first visit in a while after coming back to Berkeley! Before going, I would definitely recommend making a reservation in advance. There's usually a line (especially on weekends for brunch or in the evenings), but thankfully I was seated quickly while my friend looked for parking nearby. Now, this isn't the restaurant's fault, but it was LOUD. We happened to be seated next to two very social groups, so it was a bit difficult to hear anything. Which duh, we're in a social club! But I was practically yelling just to talk to my friend lol. Depending on your tolerance, you might want to ask to be seated on the patio, since it can get pretty rowdy inside. As for the food, it was fine. I had been craving BSC's Mascarpone Blueberry Stuffed Crunch French Toast after years of deprivation, while my friend ordered a burger with a side of fries. I'm not sure what changed (or maybe it's just me), but the French toast was much greasier than I remembered (with even less fruit!) Every bite felt pretty heavy, and while I was excited to eat it, I only managed to finish half before tapping out. My friend, on the other hand, finished her plate so maybe a burger was the way to go. I did manage to steal a fry though, which was amazing, so I'd highly recommend that. But I probably wouldn't order the French toast again. All in all, the service was great! The ambiance was a bit loud, and the food was okay. BSC is definitely a must-try brunch spot if you're in Berkeley, but if I go again, I'd probably opt for a different dish from their expansive menu.

    Their version of Loco Moco called Club Moco

    My GF and I stopped in unexpected as we were meeting friends at a nearby hookah lounge. I wanted to try something new in an area I don't come to often that was close to our destination. I am glad I took a chance on this place because the whole experience was great. I called a couple hours before and was able to reserve a table for 2. Being unfamiliar with the area I didn't anticipate parking being hard to find, but after circling the block once, we found a spot. We were greeted warmly by staff and quickly seated. The decor was nice; great ambiance; large bar with a lot of tv's (perfect for watching the last game of the NBA finals, as the Knicks won). We both ordered the raspberry lemonade. I have been a huge fan of fresh handmade lemonade lately and it did not disappoint. Fresh, tart and sweet. A little too tart for my GF's taste, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. Appetizers were the Millionaire's Bacon and Cheesy Gyoza. The bacon was soooo good. 2 perfectly cooked pieces of thick cut bacon with its sweet, sticky coating that was well balanced and not too sweet. Cheese and Gyoza with bell pepper is a combination I didn't know I needed. It was a pairing that was full of flavor and left us saying "OMG, WHAT THE". Great start for the meal. The Club Moco was calling my name, and I'm glad I answered back. Every element of the dish was cooked perfectly. The gravy was full of flavor and made the dish. Everything together was so complimentary and made every bite so enjoyable. My GF ordered the G.I. Fried Rice. The table side presentation was really cool as it came plated on a cast iron plate and the egg that's usually scrambled and mixed in the rice, was poured around the plated rice allowing you to scramble and mix however you like. I only had a couple bites and can say that I would be happy to order that dish as my main course next time. The mix of the rice, more candied bacon, spam and kimchi was full of flavor. I have never heard of this restaurant and am thankful to Yelp for helping me to look up places so easily where I was visiting. The only thing that surprised me is that I thought that place should have been packed. Service was great, ambiance was great, food was great and the NBA finals was on. I imaging this would be a great place to watch World Cup matches. Highly recommended! Go check it out!

    Salmon Benedict
    Ally H.

    Came here for brunch with friends- our party ordered the salmon Benedict, fried chicken, and pumped up ramyun. The salmon Benedict was good though the ramyun was quite salty (as is expected with shin ramen I suppose). Service was courteous. My only complaint was the food took a really long time to come out. Hope to try more dishes here in the future!

    Eggs in Purgatory with Toast
    Katherine D.

    Stopped in for a Monday brunch. I tried the eggs in purgatory and their famous bacon. The tomato-based stew was delicious. I wish it came with more than one slice of bread. The candied bacon was also great. The restaurant was pretty loud that day, which made it hard to talk. My dish also took noticeably longer to come out than the restaurant of my table. Otherwise, it was a great meal.

    Norwegian Salad with Toast

    I liked their food and ambience, that is why i revisited here. However the food quality is not as good as before. I ordered this salad today, the whole plate of arugula leaves are yellow, spotted and sagging, check the picture very disappointed !

    Berkeley Social Club Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Berkeley Social Club

    Do they have gluten free options?

    Do they offer Small portions?

    Portions are decently large.

    Are walk-ins accepted for dinner on weekends? If so, how hard do you think it is to get seating for 5 or 6 people in the early dinner hours, say 6pm on a Saturday?

    We are welcome for walk-in. Weekend dinner may take a longer wait. I would recommend you to make a reservation for a big party on the weekend. It would be better. You can make a reservation on the Yelp.… 

    What gluten-free breakfast or brunch options are enticing?

    You think they would let me order breakfast at dinner?

    I'm not sure but as they have different menus for brunch and dinner, I wouldn't think so.

    Do they require proof of vaccination?

    No, but they do ask you to wear your mask until you start eating.

    Is bottomless mimosas enjoyable on the weekends with the 60 minute time limit or does it feel too rushed?

    Definitely. An hour is generally plenty of time, unless you're looking to drink the restaurant out of business :-)

    Is the outdoor patio open on the weekdays for dinner?

    There are no outdoor sitting at this restaurant.

    Does it allow Dogs at the outside patio?

    Sure does. Brought my pooch out there last week...

    Do they have bottomless mimosas on the weekends?

    Yes they do! But they do enforce a pretty strict 1 hour time window for bottomless mimosas

    What Gluten-free options do they have?

    Rice bowls with gluten-free sauce upon request, gim-bap, salads, and more

    Are dogs allowed on the outside patio?

    Yes! Totally dog friendly in the back patio. Tied our pitbull to the bench seating with us. They even brought her a bowl of water.

    Are there outdoor TVs?

    No outdoor TV

    Are there dairy and or gluten free brunch options?

    Yes, but limited!

    Anyone know what seasoning they use for their eggs and crispy yukon?

    Are walk ins accepted?

    Yes! There are only walk-ins on weekends, and both walk-ins/reservations on the weekdays. If you do a walk-in on the weekend though for brunch, it can sometimes be a bit of a wait (~30+ min depending on how big your party is)

    Do they have vegan options?

    Yes!

    Anyone know if it's better to go around 10-11am or 12-1pm for brunch? How long is the wait time usually on a Sunday?

    It's usually around a 30-40 minute wait around then! :) I would go around 10AM or even earlier to miss the crazy Sunday brunch line.

    What other liquor besides beer do you serve? Are there mimosas at brunch on Fridays?

    They have a wide variety of cocktails that they serve for dinner including Moscow mules, whisky sours, and margs

    Do they serve bottomless mimosas for dinner?

    Yes, I just checked. They have bottomless mimosas at dinner for $20 per person for 1.5 hours. Hope this helped!
