Best Korean Restaurants in Berkeley

My friend and I arrived right at the 5pm evening opening. There were only a few other guest so the environment was quiet and staff was very good about checking in on us. For appetizers we got the Tofu Salad and Soy & Garlic Korean Chicken which were both phenomenal. However neither my friend or I could eat our main dishes (Creamchi Rice Cake / Belly Bap) because they tasted like the kitchen poured raw fish water in the dishes which was too overpowering to stomach. Overall a little pricey, especially for the chicken and main dishes but it was worth a try!

Server Amanda was attentive, timely, professional, and anticipatory ...couldn't have asked for a better interaction. The food was melt -in your mouth delicious, flavorful, and cooked perfectly.

Every dish was crafted beautifully! Each morsel delicious! Such a unique and tasty meal! Service impeccable! Will come back! Would like to see more Napa reds on the wine menu and higher rates wines.

Great food but kinda pricey! Food came out really fast, were very accommodating to our group.

Food was great! Bossam tender and great smoky flavor with nice hints of star anise and 5 spice. Little different than what I'm used to from bossam but soo good. Calguksu was flavorful, great umami from the toasted seaweed and the beef in it was solid. Great service, nice vibe. Would recommend to anyone.
