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

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.

Cj L.

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

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.

Minh B.

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.

If you like cartilage and fat and pork belly this is definitely the sandwich for you. Personally I prefer more lean cuts in my sisig but the sandwich still had an amazing variety of texture and flavor. There were cuts that melted in your mouth, skin that was gummy and chewy, and the bread crispy on the outside but soft on the inside (similar to a chicken bake) which complimented the softer textures well. The staff were super friendly and service was fast considering how busy they were. After walking in and ordering my food came out in about 10-15 minutes. Their sandwiches average around 17 dollars, which I know is really steep, but the quality is seriously top tier and the portion for this sandwich was insanely generous.

We found it very tasty, but paying over $25 for this on DoorDash--certainly not worth the price even though we really enjoyed it. The spicy chicken parm sandwiches were not good. The chicken breast was flabby, and came across like it was one of those frozen cooked Tyson jobs. I would be very surprised if they actually breaded chicken breast, fried it, and made the sandwich with that. It was mushy, and the breading was like paste on the chicken. Pretty awful. They charge extra for sauce, which is a little much, given that we paid $21 for each sandwich. But we figured out pretty quickly why they do this: there was hardly any sauce on the sandwiches. And precious little cheese. We each ate half of our sandwich and figured we doctor the leftovers up the next day with a jar of Rao's and a bag of shredded Italian cheese. That helped, but nothing could save that chicken. The meatballs. We paid $15 for four, and we had high hopes, but they were so mushy that they fell apart in the sauce, and I couldn't tell what was sauce and what was meatballs. The only flavor that came across was fennel. Why any meatball should be so fennel-forward strikes me as bizarre. We got what we thought were pretty basic things, and they were fails. If an Italian place can't make a decent chicken parm sandwich nor a decent meatball, that says something. If you go, try the pinsa.
