    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!

    Friendly staff, sweet ambiance, and DELICIOUS food! We stopped on our way home from our weekend trip to SF and we will definitely be back next trip!

    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!

    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.

    The type of place that's so good you wanna gate keep but this business deserves all the love in the world. Eat in the garden :)

    What a super cool spot. We've been wanting to try this restaurant for quite some time now and finally had the opportunity over the weekend. Such a fun experience essentially having a meal within a market itself (see pictures). We started off with a fresh Dokkaebier on draft ~ I haven't seen these before and was pleasantly surprised to have a fresh and crisp one with our meal. Love to continue and support them! Food-wise we ordered the shrimp potstickers, the jang pasta with pork belly, and the udon noodles in a yellow curry broth with veggies and pork/cheese cutlet. Take me back in time because this meal was heavenly. Each dish had such unique and beautiful flavor. The jang pasta was rich and decadent, the curry creamy and honestly just a perfect pairing with the pork/cheese cutlet. The banchan served to split between two was nicely executed. Great service for us newbies helping to roll through the menu and market items of interest. There is also an outdoor area I can imagine is sweet at dusk too, so cute. Would love to explore more from the menu like the rice bowls and ramen, as well as other Korean snack items for the family. Metered parking can be found on Solano, great spot to meet others or dine solo with a good read.

    Korean Superette has the BEST outdoor patio. I loved the ambiance and the pretty plants and decorations. We came for a weekday lunch and I had fun browsing the Korean snacks and to-go banchan for sale in the restaurant. We ordered the following and everything was delicious: Rose rice cakes with boiled egg: SO creamy and flavorful and spicy. It comes with cheese that cuts the spice level a bit. Huge portion size and the rice cakes were the perfect chewiness. You can also add ramen to it and I am definitely trying that next time because there was plenty of extra sauce. Seafood noodles: My sister loved the creamy sauce so much that after we took home the leftovers, she cooked extra noodles and added it to the leftover sauce. Korean fried chicken: SO GOOD. They deep fried and basted the chicken in sticky sweet sauce. I appreciate how they change up the menu with different daily specials every day and it just makes me want to come back again and again to try all the new items!

    Lunch special with spicy pork was so good.

    I feel like lately (thanks to the advice of Yelp! and friends) I've been hitting winner after winner. This place is no different. Went here with my friend Naomi and thought this place was a gem! Great food and I love that you can shop at the same time! Want to bring home something for dinner? You can buy it premade, frozen, or purchase the ingredients and make it yourself. But sit down instead and let them make it fresh for you. So good. FOOD: I had the lunch special which came with choice of meat (I had the spicy pork and it was delicious), soup (tofu stew for me), and rice which was delicious. Good banchan (small often pickled veggies), too. Naomi got a cold noodle soup which was a special and that looked amazing (and interactive). All of it was delicious. SERVICE: Really top notch. So helpful but not overbearing and everything was plated beautifully. Your eyes eat first and they got full. COST: Very reasonable for what you get. HIghly recommended and totally satisfied my Korean food craving.

    One of our go to spots when we want to eat dinner out. The ambiance is super cozy and the food is great every time. Definitely more of a casual vibe. Everyone is very polite and the service is pretty fast :) It's also fun to look around at all the snacks afterwards.

    The service here is amazing. They are super accommodating-- I called ahead about my gluten allergy and they explained exactly what I could eat off the menu. Very cute place as well.

    This Korean spot is such a hidden gem in Albany. I've been on this street many time before and never noticed this place until today when my friend invited me to dinner. I got the spicy rice cakes and she got the curry udon. Both 10/10 and they had an amazing banchan selection. We also ordered the salt and pepper pork belly which I loved. It was surprisingly light which I appreciated and paired well with the rice cakes. We also got the aloe mint iced tea and would highly recommend you try!! So refreshing and fresh. I would recommend you sit outside as it's very nicely set up and they have heater lamps! I can't stress enough how wonderful this place is. FYI It also doubles as a market :)

    I've had this place bookmarked for a really long time and even forgot about it. Just happened to be in the East Bay and my folks suggested grabbing lunch on Solano Ave. I looked at my bookmarks and was reminded of this place. We planned to go there for lunch. Table for 4. We sat inside the suprette. Such a casual and chill ambiance. The outdoor patio was full but we got one of the last indoor tables. It was busy for Sunday lunch service but not so busy that we needed to wait for a table. The server was kind and checked on us periodically. The lady who seemed to be the owner served and helped out too. The food was portioned well. Very good value for Korean food. The style of cooking was more like homestyle Korean, which we loved. Very flavorful, but felt light and healthy. We ordered a bento box with bulgolgi. The bulgolgi was nice and tender. There was a generous side of broccoli along with rice and seaweed soup. We also got a rice bowl with miso chicken. Lots of chicken. Very tasty and loaded with veggies. The tofu soup was a large portion which we all shared. My son ordered the children's udon soup which he thoroughly enjoyed. He also liked bulgolgi a lot. Banchan dishes were very tasty and my mom even asked for seconds of the chili seaweed. We had a lot of food left over. For 3 adults and a child, the tab was $75 pretax. Definitely worth it. Free parking is available on Solano Ave. or on the neighborhood side streets. Highly recommend. Would return next time if I was in the Berkeley!

    Doshi-Roc (bento box) with Bulgogi Beef
    Kaitlyn I.

    Lovely restaurant! They have both indoor and outdoor seating. We opted for outdoors since it was such a cute set up. The back patio is enclosed by greenery and fences, and has lights strung up. Staff was friendly and answered questions and gave recommendations. The two of us ordered popcorn chicken to share, which was crispy on the outside and tender inside. It wasn't greasy or oily, and was good with and without the sauces. Ordered the Doshi Roc (bento box) with bulgogi beef ($21.99 + $2 extra for the bulgogi). Everything in the bento was fantastic (and I usually hate broccoli). However, the bulgogi was the star. A perfect flavor balance of sweet and savory. Very tender and was fortunate enough to have leftovers so I could enjoy it again! Will definitely be back and highly recommend. Also, plenty of parking in surrounding areas. It's nice to stroll up or down Solano!

    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.

    What are their business hours?

    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 like that they have a patio area, but it's been full each time I've been, so I haven't had a chance to sit outside. The staff is kind, though they tend to be a bit slow when taking orders at the front. I guess it's nice that they don't rush things, but it can be a bit frustrating when the line is long and they're chatting with each person ordering, which feels like forever. However, once you sit down, the food is delivered quickly. During my first visit, I ordered the Lobster Roll with fries, a donut to-go, and we shared an order of Fried Mozzarella Sticks. The donut was very mild; I've had way better vegan donuts, so I wouldn't get one again. I thought the lobster roll was good, but not great. It did not remind me of a lobster roll at all and was too acidic in my opinion, so I wouldn't get that again either. I loved the mozzarella sticks, though. As a vegan, that typically dislikes vegan cheese, they were a hit. My non-vegan best friend loved them too! During my second visit, I ordered a Jalapeño Business sandwich with potato salad, rocky road to-go, and mozzarella sticks to share since I loved them so much the first time. My friend got a Buffalo Ranch Fried Chicken sandwich, and we decided to swap halves to try more things. I love spicy food, so if I had to choose a favorite, I'd pick my sandwich over hers, but both sandwiches were fantastic! The potato salad was good, but kind of bland for my taste. The rocky road was so yummy, and like last time, the mozzarella sticks did not disappoint. I love supporting fully vegan restaurants and will definitely go back to try more items on the menu. Maybe brunch next time I'm in the area? Not sure, but I highly recommend dropping by. Whether you're vegan or not, they have something tasty for everyone. In fact, each time I've gone, it's been with non-vegan friends, and they all say they'd eat here again.

I recently developed an allergy to onion and, unfortunately, onion is the only ingredient not listed to remove on the Saint Francis sandwich (on their website). I decided to call to place a pickup order so I could mention the allergy. The man who picked up the phone refused to take an order insisting that I must place my order online. I explained there wasn't the option to remove the ingredient and was worried since I had an allergy. He argued that I was mistaken, and I could edit the order online or order a "build your own sandwich" (without acknowledging the additional cost for such a thing). I mentioned the inaccessibility of such a system and that I truly wasn't seeing the option to remove ingredients. He spent longer arguing with me over the phone than it would have been to take my order over the phone. Eventually, I relented, and placed an online order stating in the "notes to seller" (the only way to edit an order in this case) no onion on the Saint Francis sandwich. There was onion on my sandwich. Maybe instead of believing they need to be right, they should just listen to the customer and try to accommodate.
