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.

It's seems America likes KFC. It's almost anywhere you go in SF to Berkeley. You will find KFC…read moreflavored Pringles which are not that salty like some others on my social media. 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"

You could tell everything was fried in clean oil because it tasted so fresh and light. It was also our first time trying tteokbokki and we're officially hooked! My favorite dish was the curry with the fried shrimp, and the lychee mocktail was the perfect pairing. Even the sides were incredible, and don't even get me started on the cheese pulls. What really made this place special was the people. It's a small team that genuinely cares about what they're serving, and you can feel that from the moment you walk in. The customer service was warm, welcoming, and made the entire experience even better. If you're anywhere near Berkeley, do yourself a favor and stop by. This is exactly the kind of local business I love supporting. 100/10 and we'll absolutely be back!

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!

Lovely fried chicken (and Korean food!) restaurant along Solano. Ordered pickup, so I can't comment…read moreon how the dine in is, though staff were friendly and very responsive. Ordered 1/2 crispy garlic, 1/2 yangyun, and soy garlic popcorn chicken. Of everything that I ordered, #1 yangyun (medium spice) #2 crispy garlic #3 popcorn. However, everything is tasty, and now it is probably one of my top 3 fried chicken places. The yangyun was crisper than the crispy garlic. I enjoyed the flavor of both. The popcorn chicken sauce is at the bottom, so make sure to thoroughly mix before sitting down and enjoying!

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.

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 seating in this location is limited we were a group of 6 and literally took up the entire restaurant. We will be back for sure just make sure to order ahead of time everything is made to order so it takes 30-40 minutes depending on how busy they are.

Standard boba. Not bad, not great…read more You order from a kiosk and your drinks are ready in under 5 minutes. I ordered the taro milk tea with soy milk + boba and my bf ordered the tiger milk tea. I'm sad to report the tiger milk tea had no stripes. It was just a regular brown sugar milk tea and did not deliver on the "tiger" aesthetics. The boba was fresh but it's the kind you can buy from the supermarket to make at home yourself. Nothing crave-worthy. For what it's worth, it was well-made. For the area, there are certainly other places you can go for boba. At least the non-dairy milk swap only had a $0.50 adder, a bit less expensive compared to other places.
