While I stay in the city, i found myself out by Berkeley with time to kill and a belly rumblin (key plot point), my day had been great and I was not trying to end it with a mediocre meal, so as I walked up, that stomach feeling got a little worse However upon entering and passing by the little corridor to the back, all my worries dissipated. The interior is calm with great use of wood colours, the outdoor patio is brilliantly shaded by trees, providing a little secret treehouse vibe like in Pokemon ruby. Outside was pretty popping though so I sat inside and ordered the bulgogi comfort stew. This thing was stuffed to the brim. From the description it's easy to feel like it's going to be a pretty boring dish, but it was far from. The broth was definitely comforting, I didn't care about anything after the first taste. There were different varieties of mushrooms inside providing adequate texture variation and the beef portion was generous! Usually I find myself hoarding meat in these stews to make sure I get good bites but the dish deceptively had a great amount such that I could eat a solo meat bite and still have enough! The banchan was also very flavourful. I ended up stuffed in this little hideaway, surrounded by the supermarket portion of this establishment and the calming hiphop lofi, if I was heading straight back home I would have grabbed a few things. It was hard to fault this place. Throw back to my stomach rumbling, before I left I used the restroom in the front and unfortunately the cosy hideaway, clean aesthetic seems to end at the little corridor. The bathroom was not dirty but it was not as clean as expected. Service was great and the food tasted amazing, I'd definitely come back to try other dishes

Super cute and cozy Korean spot. The food was delicious, my veggie gyoza tray was great. I only wish they had way more vegetarian options. It literally feels like a Korean supermarket, you can buy ice cream, kimchi, literally anything Korean food or snack- they probably have it here. Next time, I'm going to try the silken tofu stew.

Adorable Korean restaurant in Berkeley's Northside! Korean Suprette is a restaurant that also serves as a mini supermarket - selling Asian snacks. It's on Solano Avenue so it's in an area with a lot of other food spots. They have great friendly service that made us feel welcomed when we entered the store. We got their Spicy Pork Belly Rice Bowl, Beef Tofu Soup, Rose Tteokbokki, and Spicy Cold Noodles. I personally liked the rice bowl and the tofu soup the best! They both had a nice comforting vibe to each dish that I really liked. Their cold noodles and rose tteokbokki were not bad either, but I personally didn't find them to be too memorable. They have a cute patio in the back that we didn't get to sit at, but I heard is very cute. I'd love to come back to try their lunch sets as well! Overall, solid Korean restaurant - definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a Korean spot in Berkeley!

Banchan (little side dishes to accompany the meal)

I recently stopped by Korean Superette and really enjoyed my meal. I ordered the Yangnyeom Chicken Plate, and it was excellent--crispy chicken coated in a savory, flavorful sauce with just the right amount of heat. Not overly spicy, just well-balanced and delicious. The plate came with rice, broccoli, and a selection of traditional banchan, which rounded out the meal nicely. I also ordered a glass of Chardonnay and was pleasantly surprised by the generous pour. Bonus points for that! I chose to sit on the back patio, which is absolutely delightful and made for a relaxed, enjoyable dining experience. Between the tasty food, pleasant atmosphere, and friendly service, this is definitely a place I'll be returning to. Highly recommended.

Bulgogi stew
Jacie N.

Food is amazing! Absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and the bonchon is the perfect pairing! The yuzu tea was super refreshing. Service was slow, but we didn't mind waiting. The care they put into the food was apparent and greatly appreciated! The dining areas (inside and outside) are both cute. Patio is well maintained with lots of greenery. Inside also doubles as a small market with Korean snacks, packaged noodles, kimchi and other refrigerated foods, and some homewares.

bossam
Sophia Y.

Pretty decent korean food! We ate at their outdoor patio area. Food was good and the outdoor seating are was very cute. Their menu isn't very extensive since they're a market too, but their bossam was very good and they have solid classics. Very good lunch spot!

Interesting experience.. this place doubles up as a restaurant and mini market. It was kinda weird dining in the center of the room where you're surrounded by fridges, snacks, etc. Feels too awkward to really walk around and browse because you'd be in somebody's personal space while they eat. Definitely too awkward to take pics of the snacks too. Outside of that.. the food here was really good. I ordered their bulgogi comfort stew and it got me sweating. The presentation was good and it was spicier than expected. The constant steam from the bowl made my eyes water all night. So yeah.. I suffered through it but still enjoyed the food. Overall I'd say this place is pretty worth it.

Bossam
Warren K.

I've been wanting to check out this place for a bit. Was a bit confused walking in but their dining area was on the inside down the hall and then there's also a cute outside area, but the weather was too cold for me to sit outside. We ordered the Rose Rice Cakes and the Bossam. Rose Rice Cakes (7/10): the rice cakes weren't as soft as I'd like and were a bit stiff, the sauce was great through and they were very generous with the amount of rice cakes and fish cakes. Bossam (8/10): Super soft and tender pork sliced with very good flavor. They gave us refills of lettuce, samjang, and kimchi too when we ran out. One thing that stood out was how delicious their side dishes were. I would be willing to buy their side dishes alone, especially the mushroom and cucumber ones. Overall, food was good and service was very attentive, would recommend!

Jang Pasta
James W.

estaurant and Korean mini-mart that has a wide variety of Korean fusion foods. Recommend their Jang Pasta, but they also have an amazing lunch special. Portions are rather large, so one dish could possibly be good for two people. They have both an outdoor and indoor space and the restaurant gets quite crowded around 6 PM, so watch out for that! Service is fast and they do a good job refilling the banchan!

Bulgogi comfort bowl
Rick T.

Cute place with dining tables surrounded by Korean market items and cozy outdoor patio. Nice spice for most dishes. The rose tteokbokki and bulgogi comfort bowl were standouts.

Honestly this place took me by surprise! Upon first entering, it was an interesting concept where there were shelves stocked up with a bunch of korean snacks & banchan available for sale. Additionally, there were tables indoor and outdoor. It was very casual & honestly, didn't seem like there were many asian patrons, so I was a bit skeptical on how good the food could be. Between a party of 3, we shared the bossam, rose tteokbokki, and mul naengmyun, which was actually the perfect amount of food. All three dishes were absolutely delicious and exceeded expectations! Even all of the banchan dishes tasted like a lot of love and care was put into them. I liked that the garlic that came with the bossam was pickled and not raw... and the fact that the bossam came soaked in pork broth/juice, because that helped the meat stay warm and juicy throughout the meal. Overall, this was a great spot and I will DEFINITELY be coming back!

Inside
Mary K.

Found this place by driving by looking for a place to eat and I'm glad I did. It's a restaurant and market cute little place has outdoor seating and indoor seating a small market inside the indoor seating restaurant... I was greeted when I walked in. The outdoor seating was full so I sat indoor which was fine. Since it was my first time I had to try a few things out the menu the food was good and The service was great. The place was clean. I will definitely be back to try more things on the menu.

Ordered a variety of dishes from Korean Superette to try, and unfortunately none of them impressed us. We ordered the bossam, black bean stew, shrimp pasta, cold noodles, and bulgogi mixed rice--none of the dishes stood out, and the ingredients felt more fusion-inspired than Korean comfort food, especially considering the higher price point. We also tried a few premade dishes from the market side, including the eggplant side dish and japchae, and both were poorly seasoned. I'd also skip the iced matcha latte, it was overly sweet, artificial matcha flavored (not real tea), and the staff told us it was not ceremonial-grade matcha. Service was disappointing as well. Our large table was charged a mandatory 20% gratuity, which would have been easier to accept if the service matched it. While one server was kind and attentive, the apparent lead staff member was impatient and gave noticeable attitude. Overall: fast-casual Korean food at premium prices, with underwhelming food quality and mediocre service.

Are their buckwheat noodles gluten free? (Cold noodle dish)

Do they have any vegan dishes? I'm new to Korean cuisine? Door Dash has zero details.

According to the article about them in Eater SF they are open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Saturday, and the kitchen closes at 8 p.m.

I've been wanting to come here for a while but I live a bit farther so I never got to go until recently and now I wonder why I didn't make an effort to go sooner! I went right as they opened on a Saturday and their shelves were full of yummy precooked savory Thai dishes and there is a section specific just for desserts. Everything was reasonably priced, most dishes were $13ish and the desserts were $5-6ish. Everything was delicious, the chicken pad Thai, the spicy chicken Thai fried rice and chicken Thai basil with rice and fried egg. Nothing sucked! For desserts I highly recommend getting the sticky rice wrapped banana or taro or any of the pandan deserts, nothing was disappointing. All hangers! They also carry Thai tea and palm sugar and most staples to cook Thai cuisine. It was a bit intimidating at first because everyone there was speaking Thai and it was mostly locals stocking up on precooked foods but the owners are so lovely and nice. Definitely try to go at opening on Saturdays!!

IDK what kitchens or who cooks these but they are solid for the price. A little low on meat…read moreportions but prices are better than any sit down restaurant nearby. Only sells food 10am Saturdays. 9/10, hidden gem of Thai cuisine with sweet owners, would def recommend and def come again.

I visited Nepal once two decades ago and was lucky enough to share a meal with my local guide and his family. I remember that meal well because his wife had to go to the next door neighbor to find me a fork. I know there was a lot of dal and peas in their diet, and sure enough, there's a huge variety to be found here in individual bags (photo: http://bit.ly/2qw6aMu). Four Nepalese friends decided to open this small but nicely organized grocery store a couple of years ago. It was a delight to explore the aisles for spices, mustard oil (photo: http://bit.ly/2HnZV75), pickles (photo: http://bit.ly/2GXbSRB), and even incense (photo: http://bit.ly/2qxqzRh). Jamie W. and I were tempted by the many exotic items on hand like the hard-dried cheese candies (photo: http://bit.ly/2quXh5J) but settled on a bag of unskinned coconut slices that were thankfully unsweetened as well a bag of chana dal that we added later to a mixed lentil soup (photo: http://bit.ly/2GYBrlm). There was quite a treasure trove of unusual delights in here, definitely worthwhile to peruse in order to find your inner sherpa.

The only downside is that some of the items aren't labeled with their prices.

This market has everything from all across all cultures. I love the fresh veggies and all the snacks. There's currently a mega-sale on Korean daily skincare, Labelage brands for dirt cheap.

I always grab a matcha from Teddy Boba and some takoyaki. Now they even have beer on tap! We happened to be here on their 15th annual live orchestra concert, which was a pleasant surprise. Great food, drinks, and a live orchestra performance playing Disney classics. I felt like I was at an expensive Disney concert that people would pay the cha-ching for. Whenever I'm in the area, I always have to stop by KP.

It's best to shop here with a list to help keep you on target. Otherwise, there's temptation to spent way too much time simply ogling everything.

This is a good place to go for a lot of different cooking tools, as well.

The yangnyum didn't wow me, but was still yummy. The chicken here is crispy and flavorful, but in a way that tastes... clean? (At least in my opinion). The seasoned fries are so good! I took leftovers home and tossed them in the airfryer - they held on to that good flavor. Compared to other Korean places offering chicken options in the area, I'd put Chimmelier up there due to the style and quality of the food! I highly encourage people to come try it if they're in the area!
