There's a large parking lot

Oof, that parking lot.

My husband and I braved an in person trip which meant we did leave with courtesy fried whole fishes to eat once we got home IYKYK. I can usually find whatever I need for meals throughout the week. They don't have certain items available on Instacart that they have in the store like chicken feet. I wonder if it sells so well they don't feel a need to list. Idk. You can find most Asian/southeast Asian items for your home cooked meals here. The produce is good, the rice selection is fine, the meats and seafood section satisfy what I need. The turn offs are the parking and if you're needy for cashiers to chat you up. You'll hate it. I love it. Just ring me up and be done with it,

I vote for a big EOY bonus for both of them! I called this market ahead of time to confirm they carried Everyday Dose collagen (new and amazing product w/ L-Theanine, Lion's mane, Chaga and Cordyceps). I was told they do. An hour long commute later, a kind lady with fiery red hair named April showed me three locations where Collagen could be. They did not have it. I was disappointed and exhausted - long trip for nothing. James, the store manager, offered a free collagen sample from another brand and apologized for the misinformation shared during my phone call. Just as I was checking out, April showed up out of nowhere carrying coffee beans from the same brand infused with collagen I was looking for. A NEW PRODUCT TO TRY WITH COLLAGEN I WAS LOOKING FOR. I went home absolutely thrilled. In a world where people are too busy to care, James and April reminded me how everyday acts of kindness can completely change someone's day.

The crawfish itself was underwhelming -- flavor did not get into the meat and didn't taste very fresh.

Was a bit slow at the end with the check but was not a big deal Ambiance: 6/10. Your average hole in the wall seafood boil place Would recommend their garlic noodles and fried foods!

The prices reflect that and are not on par with other similar local restaurants. In season Dungeness crab was about $65 for 1. Every additional item (potato, corn, sausage) was a surcharge. These things are usually free at other similar restaurants. Just throw me in a free potato at least! They cost 20 cents from the supermarket!

Monterey Market is one of my go-to spots for produce, especially if you like variety. Their…read moreselection is huge, and the mushroom section is on another level, way beyond what you see at a normal grocery store. Fun fact: this place is famous for carrying hard-to-find and foraged produce and has been a quiet favorite of Bay Area chefs for decades, which explains why half the fruits look like they belong in a cooking show challenge. That said, the quality isn't flawless. This past summer the corn on the cob was disappointing, with a few ears already rotten at one end once you peel back the husk, so definitely inspect before buying. Also, the clientele is usually fine, but this visit featured an unnecessary checkout cameo from a full-volume Karen who felt the need to explain how standing in line works. The cashier chose silence, which felt like a statement. Still a great market overall, just keep an eye on the corn and maybe bring a little extra patience to the register.

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!

While I stay in the city, i found myself out by Berkeley with time to kill and a belly rumblin (key…read moreplot 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

This is my second most favorite farmers market. My most favorite farmers market is the Larkspur…read moreFarmers market which has more organic vegetables and fruit. The reason I come to this one more often is because it's closer to me in the East Bay. They don't have a lot of organic produce and the prices for all the produce is a bit high for what it is. There's a lot of different pastry booths and there's a Semi Freddy's Cafe close by. The Frog Hollow farm has great fruit and pretty good simple pastries. They also offer their fruit preserves on a discount that is much cheaper than in stores or online. Their apricot preserves is one of their best ones and has the least amount of sugar. I come here quite often to get lunch on the weekends. There's also a really nice rotisserie chicken truck that makes amazing rotisserie chicken for about $17 and they also have rotisserie duck and rotisserie pork. They have a lot of roasted vegetables that can come with their rotisserie meat but unfortunately, all their potatoes and vegetables are covered with animal grease so it is not for people watching their cholesterol. It's easy to pick up a whole rotisserie chicken for a lovely Sunday meal and have leftovers for work for a few days. It's better than any rotisserie chicken from the supermarket but will cost about twice as much. However, you get to see them roast your chicken so you know it's very fresh and the skin is crisp.
