I also love the simple but flavorful side dishes (banchan) that you get with your meal. There is something about the authentic flavor that keeps me coming back. The owners and staff are always friendly and welcoming. Time to head back and try more of the menu items like the Naengmyun and Galbi-tang.

Solid Korean restaurant with locations in Berkeley and Oakland! This Berkeley location is decently…read morespacious with fast service. We got there at around 7 pm on a weekday and were seated immeadiately as a party of 6. We weren't very hungry so we ordered their Seafood Pancake and Bossam. Their seafood pancake was okay. It reminded me more of a scallion pancake due to it being quite thin and not having much seafood in it. Their bossam was pretty good. It came with kimchi, tofu soup, and crispy rice! I like these additions a lot and it left us all feeling satisfied. I feel like the pork belly itself was not super outstanding, but solid among the restaurants in Berkeley! I'd recommend this restaurant to those looking for a nice Korean spot in Berkeley. I'd also love to come back to try more of their dishes, especially those with their kimchi or crispy rice!

I called in and ordered a traditional blood sausage soup $19 just this week. They said it would be ready in 15 minutes. When I arrived in 15, it was ready for pick up! There were 2 open spots in the parking lot out front. Everything is packed so well! The blood sausage slices are packed in a regular takeout container, the cabbage kimchi is packed in a sealed container, the radish kimchi is packed in a container as well. The soup is packed in a rectangular container that is also sealed. Nothing leaked! Everything was very delicious!

Come here for the Bossam and the tendon! The Bossam is bouncy and the marinated burdock provides…read morethat crunchy bite! While the tendon over chives is another collagen boosting dish. The tendon was tender and but still had good texture. We might have ordered too much and added a whole garlic soy fried chicken and spicy beef noodle soup. The chicken was lightly breaded which was good but we found some of the white meat to be a bit dry. The sauce was also quite light if you're into that! The dark meat of course was juicy and delicious. The soup was also quite light, there wasn't a super beefy flavor and the noodles didn't quite absorb the savory soup. The staff was helpful and attentive and the tables even house all your utensils and napkins in the side drawer. There's a small parking lot with a security guard as well!

Berkeley Social Club, finally made it after hearing about the Millionaire's Bacon for what feels…read morelike years. Worth the hype, no question. Thick cut, candied with the brown sugar and chili, hits sweet then heat right after, had to order a second side for the table cuz one wasnt gonna cut it. Got the bulgogi scramble too, the marinated ribeye in there has this sweetness that plays well against the egg, potatoes on the side were seasoned proper not just an afterthought. Place is loud, like really loud, no carpet no dampening so by the time you leave your basically yelling at your own table. Worth it tho honestly, gives it this fun chaotic energy. Service kept moving the whole time, water got refilled without me even asking which never happens anymore. Patio in the back is a nice touch if you can snag it, a little calmer back there. Sign in on a tablet for the wait, we got lucky with timing but ive heard horror stories on weekends so get there early if you can. 5 stars, korean western mashup that actually works and isnt just a gimmick. Bacon alone is worth the trip

My GF and I stopped in unexpected as we were meeting friends at a nearby hookah lounge. I wanted to…read moretry 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!

Even though it is a pocha, the food all felt very akin to Chinese food, with strong but singular flavours for each dish The fried chicken with sweet and sour sauce tasted like orange chicken. It came with slightly crisp tteok which was nice to break up the overwhelming flavour with that texture difference The squid dish offered a similar experience, with the texture of the crispy noodles distracting from the squid sauce for a limited time The crab and egg soup was a bit disappointing, the crab was the shredded fake crab stick kind, the soup was thick but mix of flavours (heavy on the green and red bell peppers) left a lot to be desired. There's a lot of good Korean food in Oakland, so you won't be stuck for choice around the area
