Can you make your own bowl or do you have to choose one from the menu?

If I recall correctly, I don’t think you can entirely make your own bowl though you can largely dictate the toppings and spice level. You choose a preset bowl, a spice level, and then you can choose from an assortment of add-ons. Feel free to check… Read more

I have have this place on my list for quite some time. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this…read moreplace. It reminded me of the newer, cute and trendy places in Taipei. I think the lighting was very bright white (think being in an office) for the evening, but other than that, the tables were nicely spaced apart so you weren't sharing tables or having to hear other peoples' conversations, but still cozy. The service was a little unattentive and slow. Even though we were seated immediately, it took 3 attemps of asking to receive water and no one came by to take our order. I eventually got up to use the bathroom. There was a line of 3 other people. By the time I came back, no one had come by to take our order still. Eventually we flagged down a different server who took our order. The portions were pretty small but priced like a full entree (for the type of food I felt like we were getting). We ordered the Tofu Cream Maitake noodles, Tofu Cubes (I think that's what they were called?) and Scallion Oil Noodles. Typically we order maybe 4 dishes or 5 dishes at a regular Taiwanese place but after we saw how small the dishes were for the price, we just kept it at 3. The Scallion Oil Noodles were fragrant and Crispy Tofu Cubes were really good. The tofu cubes were more like BLOCKS and had great crispy texture. That was probably our favorite dish. I had such high expectations for the tofu cream noodles but it was really bland, not "mild", it was bland. And the flecks of maitake were just lost in there somewhere. It was disappointing because I love maitake and tofu!! All in all, it was an okay experience but I'm glad we stopped in. I don't think I would come back but it's definitely worth one try! Maybe if we were eating meat dishes, we would have had a different experience? This vegan will never know. In summary, the food was fresh and well-prepared but the portions were small and too pricey for what it is.

one of my favorite cuisines of all time is taiwanese food, and as a girl with no car who grew up on…read moreamazing south bay taiwanese food stuck in berkeley, you know i was ready to ride the 36 down to emeryville for this. service is pretty slow and they don't take reservations, so you always have to wait in a 15-30 minute line outside, which kind of sucks, but the staff here is so nice i can't even be mad. the restaurant is also really nicely laid out and has a more upscale ambiance than the taiwanese restaurants i grew up eating at, so plus there. sad to report they don't have the classic dishes like beef noodle soup (牛肉麵) or stinky tofu (臭豆腐) or even the taiwanese night market foods like 豬血糕 or 肉圓. i was pretty thrilled to see braised pork rice (滷肉飯) or lu rou fan on the menu, but was bummed because it didn't taste like the lu rou fan i grew up eating. (not quite as dark brown in color and didn't have as much of that silky gelatinous mouthfeel that comes from the skin and fat in the pork belly.) however, a lot of the other dishes we tried were really good! i loved the seasonal clam dish they had, and their eggplant noodles were also amazing. next time, i think i'll order just the eggplant though because the noodles were really filling. overall, good to eat is a great restaurant for introducing people to the taiwanese cuisine and a decent spot for hitting a taiwanese food craving in east bay.

One of the best spots for noodle soup in the Bay Area. I've tried coming here on 3 different…read moreaccounts and the line was always too long to fit my agenda. After the long anticipation, I was able block off my calendar and finally try this place on a Friday night. We had a part of 7 and it was more challenging to find a table to fit all of us. Especially with the wait, I would recommend coming here with parties of 4-5 max. The restaurant was mainly filled with students from the nearby college so it's very lively and packed. Usually when my anticipation is high, my expectations are higher and I'm usually disappointed but this did not disappoint!! The broth was so flavorful and the noodles had the perfect consistency of bounce and chew. The meats were tender and on top of that, the portions are huge and very reasonably priced! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but highly recommend the House Special Beef Rib Noodle Soup if it's your first time.

Got water soon without a cup. It arrived minutes later. Soup came within 10 minutes. After soup came, no check-ins.

While we were in Berkeley, I asked my son what he was in the mood for dinner since his birthday was…read morecoming up. He wanted AYCE Hot Pot. Lo and behold, this was the closest place when we checked the app. It was just a few blocks from where we were, and they have a designated parking lot. If I recall, dinner was approximately $28.99 per person, which is pretty affordable in this day of age. Of course, as I am writing this, prices could change. Lunch is even more affordable at $23.99 per person. Upon arrival, the lady/owner warmly greeted us as she simultaneously seated us. She handed us a menu and explained the process. You pick a broth base as it comes with that articular meat of your choosing, then select the different rolls of meat. There are also different sides available (like chicken feet and tripe). There is also a self-serve cooler fridge that contains the usual hot pot items that you can add to your bowl from veggies, protein and noodles. The soup options are the following: - Spicy - Tomato - Sacha Seafood - Curry Flavored - Hot & Sour - Pork Tripe and Chicken - Beef Brisket - Beef Rib - Wild Mushroom There was also a sweet (not-too-sweet) drink in a large carafe-type container that was quite delightful. It was light, tasty and quite addicting that I kept refilling my cup. The vibe of the place feels old and homey; however, most of the customers were young, student-types. Perhaps UC Berkeley students? It also wasn't busy and half of the restaurant was empty. Most of us were seated by the front. All in all, we had a good dinner as the broths were seasoned well and not overly salty. Yes, most of the dishes are self-serve, but you can control the portion this way. I also enjoyed the chicken feet and tripe, which aren't typically on a hot pot menu in most places. There's also the hidden protein inside the broths. Whatever option you order (i.e. chicken, pork) there's hunks of them on the bottom for you to discover. It's like having a hidden reward. It's a good hot pot spot that won't break the bank.

Was disappointed for various reasons. Was really looking for a AYCE hot pot in the east bay and…read morethis is the only one I found. The yelp reviews were encouraging but when we arrived, the ambience was the first thing I noticed. We came in a Friday night and it was pretty empty. Maybe 2 other tables. It was quiet. We were sat right away and I noticed the tables and menus were kinda sticky. When we ordered our meats set, she gave us the wrong meat and we had to send it back but we realized maybe 60 seconds after she left and she wasn't happy about taking it back. Then our party of 4 went to get the side dishes like the veggies. First they are in sliding door fridges and the bottom shelf was almost at the floor and so my 70 year old mom dropped an item when the waitress said "be careful if you keep dropping we will charge you." Then we sat down and we are hot pot pros ok and we know how much we can eat. My family filled up their plates with the side veggies and the plates were pretty full. The same waitress (possibly owner?) came by again and said "dont take too much, if you don't finish we will charge you by the pound." Geez!! First of all we did finish it all. Second of all do you think this is our first hot pot rodeo?? She came by later all smiles and was like "is everything ok??" Now moving onto the food. The food seemed stale, especially the sesame balls and sweet bread. The water dispenser tasted a little of plastic from the container it was in. The black tea tasted metallic. The sides were basic but they looked like they even sitting in the fridge for too long so I didn't partake in all of them. The soup base was ok. Nothing special. Overall disappointed experience bc I really wanted to like it.

Feb 24, 2026 3:00 pm 3.7 stars…read more This place is smart to stay open when New Dumpling takes midday siesta. Always plenty of non metered street parking when I'm in the area for lunch. We are the only customer when we arrived. Very pleasant not overpowering jazz mood music plays. Our server has a very pleasant demeanor. We have Taiwan beef noodle soup. Nice and hot the way it should be. Perfect to my tongue textures of the beef cubes and egg noodles. The beef broth was amazing. At the end of our meal I was full. Too full to the point that I almost cried that I couldn't drink the last gulps but it was too small a portion to warrant taking home. Our Kung Pao chicken? Delicious. Chock full of chicken bites and delicious vegetables. Somehow the plentiful peanuts set my taste buds acraving. Wow wow Pao tasty. The only miss with this was that it was brought to us on a coldish serving plate. A common mistake. We didn't get to try this dish hot. We are now wanting our bill. Seems like long time wanting. To our dismay, our friendly server got herself enmeshed in an on again off again conversation with someone at another table shortly after we arrived. Then she disappeared for a while. We are tempted to guess the bill amount (turns out we guessed wrong by $1), leave cash on the table and walk out. Instead I get up and she appears at the register. Magic. We pay proper like and walk out respectfully. I wouldn't mind coming back.
