Although it's a small and cozy space, they have both inside and outside seating. Food wise, my go-to is their amazing curly fries and lychee iced tea, while the hunny absolutely adores their fried chicken sandwiches. It's probably some of his favorite fried chicken in the Bay Area. We try order online as we're driving over because everything is made to order so there can be a bit of a wait during the lunchtime rush, but the service is super friendly and helpful and everything is always delicious. So we will definitely keep coming back!

Today's adventure took me to Berkeley in search of fried chicken. For some reason fried chicken has…read morebecome my new love. Whenever I'm in search of something good to eat in the Bay Area I always check TikTok first. My search directed me to Southside Station! It's a small quaint establishment with a very quiet vibe. When I entered, there was a table of three gentlemen sitting there enjoying their selections. I checked in with them and got suggestions on what I should order. They made a recommendation, but I chose something totally different. I ordered the wings and garlic noodles with a side of brussels sprouts. This place is known for their fried chicken because it's so extra crunchy. They definitely did deliver on the crunch and the flavor. The garlic noodles were very garlic, which is what I liked, and the brussels sprouts were sautéed in a honey glaze. I decided to enjoy my food inside the restaurant as opposed to sitting outside where they have two tables set up. The young lady that took my order was ever so sweet and kind. She was the only one I saw in the restaurant behind the counter, but there may have been others working further in the back. There was an error on my order and she was quick to correct the error with an apology and a smile. The portion size was decent. I ended up taking home leftovers.

Great food! Owner was super nice and welcoming. The service was amazing, would highly recommend.read more

This place which has KFC has a variety of different flavors of chicken including the famous Nashville ( RIP Dolly Parton) chicken. The KFC I speak of is Korean Fried Chicken. This place you will also find the saucy Rose Tteokboki and also cheesy cheese sticks. It's located in Berkeley and it's called Ko Stop. On a September stroll almost Fall I landed at KoStop. The decor is welcoming and causal and this spot is a day and late night spot closing just before midnight. On the menu you will find panko crusted jumbo shrimp and kimchi fried rice with fried chicken. I got the Honey butter boneless chicken and it was tasty not too sweet and the chicken was tender and crispy. I had it with a side of the purple rice which complimented the chicken. I also had the cheese sticks which were so cheesy like some on my social media feed. This is spot for KFC tenders which are better than the KFC national chain tenders. Go to Ko Stop anytime night or when it's "sunny" it's a casual place doesn't cost lots of "money"and the sauce on the KFC isn't "runny "and grab the purple rice with the boneless wings with butter and "honey" Getting KFC is always a good "idea "I even seen KFC in a wrap and "tortilla "and even seen KFC on a pizza at a "pizzeria "the KFC I speak is the fried chicken from "South Korea"

During a recent Sunday afternoon visit, we experienced a pretty big delay during a shift change. We had traveled all the way from Palo Alto specifically for their pizza, but our waiter ended up forgetting to place our pizza order entirely. After waiting a long time just to get the check, I went up to the front to pay, which also took a while to get assistance. I was extremely disappointed at first, but the manager was incredibly kind, sincere, and accommodating. They apologized for the mistake and generously took care of the pizza on the house. Mistakes happen, but great management makes all the difference--we really appreciated how they turned the situation around!

The spicy pork bibimbap a great meal, large in size, I ended up sharing this bibimbap on order to try out other menu items. The pork had a mild spice to it and the egg was runny which mixed well with the other components. This is my second favorite item. But my first favorite would have to be the rice tacos. We ordered a trio of salmon, tuna and crab salad. The shell was nice and crispy, and not hard like a rice cake. And the filling was delicious. the only downside is this is messy to eat. I tried two honey butter wings, a sweet flavor, and another time I tried the "sweet cheddar". Both were excellent, hopefully I can try the Yangnyeom next time for some spicy flavor. Finally the raw salmon and onion kimbap was great. I would equally put the wings and kimbap as my third favorite for ordering. Service was fast, ordering is easy. If you order take out, you can use the outside benches to eat on.

Not your traditional Korean restaurant as it is more a fusion with their bibimbap and rice tacos. The salmon was the star for the rice tacos as the ahi felt a bit plain and dry the second time around. The kimbap was available as a half or full order so we went for a non-traditional raw salmon. My niece loved the crispy chicken with cheese, that she couldn't stop eating it and I admit they were addictive, so crispy but still juicy. When you get the bibimbap for takeout, they are very mindful to separate the hot from the cold portion which was great.

We ordered the kimchi bibimbap and the regular bibimbap with beef. So flavorful and tasty. That's always our go-to when we visit this spot. All that being said, it's the mini tofu soups that come with the bibimbap that steal the show. The tofu soup is so tasty, flavorful, and warm that it heals the soul. I always bring my friends here when they're visiting from out of town. 10/10. The staff is exceptional, as always. Will continue to come back.

The espresso martini was delicious, but the lychee martini was the star of the show. The fries with Korean beef... please, I'll take ten. So good. The jalapeño burger with an egg on top was cooked perfectly, and I swapped the fries for green beans. Not to be dramatic, but those might be the best green beans I've ever had. Service was great too, zero complaints. I went with a local who loves this place, and I completely see why.

I have been ordering the Wednesday smash burger special to-go for months, with zero issues. Today I was told it's policy for it not to be taken to-go. Nowhere is this stated online, the menu or the numerous staff members who have rung me up while on my lunch break. If this is in fact the policy, it needs to be communicated to ALL staff. Interesting enough my server Katie who I ordered the food, as well as to-go boxes, asked if I wanted them to-go. Make it make sense. Poor leadership, is the reason why I will no longer patronize this location or recommend to others. After briefly overheating Katie's interactions with others while waiting for my food, it's clear she is personable, kind, and capable of doing her job. Maybe she could be a better fit for leadership here. Lastly, the newly hired hostess who claimed it was her first day, and had to call "management" over upon my entry, was too busy on her phone to even acknowledge a customer leaving. Shame Eureka!
