Visiting UC Berkeley with my son . We were exploring the area and stumbled upon this restaurant. It…read morewas next to a couple of other Asian restaurants in what seemed like an alley ,which led out into the street on both sides . This looked like it had a decent amount of seating space. It also had a window view of the street outside, which I liked . We ordered at the kiosk. We got our food in to go boxes. I'm not sure if it's because we forgot to say that it was for here and not to go. In any case, the food came out hot and the service was decent. We didn't have any interaction other than taking the food. If we're in the area, we might explore the other restaurants.

This is a great option for Korean fried chicken right by campus, especially for students looking…read morefor something tasty at a reasonable price. You order on a screen, and the chicken takes about 10 minutes to prepare. The servers were also incredibly hospitable and friendly, which made the experience even better. The chicken is definitely best eaten right away in the restaurant if you want to enjoy that crispy skin. They also offer different flavors of soju and Terra beer. I do wish they had a few more beer options, like Sapporo, Asahi, or Blue Moon, since chicken and beer go so well together. Overall, it's a great spot if you're already on campus, though probably not somewhere I'd go out of my way to travel to.

This was the watering hole back in my undergrad days, so coming back with a fellow alum hit me…read moreright in the nostalgia. Jupiter's been a Berkeley staple for 30 years and it's easy to see why. The two-level beer garden with the firepit and string lights is the whole vibe, and the church-pew-and-tin interior (it's an old livery stable) gives it character you can't fake. Came on a busy night, which is Jupiter's default state, and the service was still great. Ordered a personal pizza. Their wood-fired stuff is solid, not life-changing, but exactly what you want next to a house brew. Decent food, great beer, unbeatable atmosphere. It's a two-second walk from the Downtown Berkeley BART, so there's really no excuse. Student, alum, or just passing through, post up in the beer garden and stay a while. Some things don't need to change, and this is one of them.

We split a pizza and a salad and it was a lot of food. Sitting on the back patio is the best. Even better if you can sit close to the fountain on the shade side! Very chill, very lovely area to chat and eat. Our server was great. he was very friendly and open to any questions we had. Totally BARTable as well. If you plan to BART in, the closest stop is Downtown Berkeley. There's also plenty of garage parking nearby.

The spicy pork bibimbap a great meal, large in size, I ended up sharing this bibimbap on order to try out other menu items. The pork had a mild spice to it and the egg was runny which mixed well with the other components. This is my second favorite item. But my first favorite would have to be the rice tacos. We ordered a trio of salmon, tuna and crab salad. The shell was nice and crispy, and not hard like a rice cake. And the filling was delicious. the only downside is this is messy to eat. I tried two honey butter wings, a sweet flavor, and another time I tried the "sweet cheddar". Both were excellent, hopefully I can try the Yangnyeom next time for some spicy flavor. Finally the raw salmon and onion kimbap was great. I would equally put the wings and kimbap as my third favorite for ordering. Service was fast, ordering is easy. If you order take out, you can use the outside benches to eat on.

Not your traditional Korean restaurant as it is more a fusion with their bibimbap and rice tacos. The salmon was the star for the rice tacos as the ahi felt a bit plain and dry the second time around. The kimbap was available as a half or full order so we went for a non-traditional raw salmon. My niece loved the crispy chicken with cheese, that she couldn't stop eating it and I admit they were addictive, so crispy but still juicy. When you get the bibimbap for takeout, they are very mindful to separate the hot from the cold portion which was great.

The original soup with tofu was rich and flavorful with a generous serving of pillowy soft tofu.

We got there at around 7 pm on a weekday and were seated immeadiately as a party of 6. We weren't very hungry so we ordered their Seafood Pancake and Bossam. Their seafood pancake was okay. It reminded me more of a scallion pancake due to it being quite thin and not having much seafood in it. Their bossam was pretty good. It came with kimchi, tofu soup, and crispy rice! I like these additions a lot and it left us all feeling satisfied. I feel like the pork belly itself was not super outstanding, but solid among the restaurants in Berkeley! I'd recommend this restaurant to those looking for a nice Korean spot in Berkeley. I'd also love to come back to try more of their dishes, especially those with their kimchi or crispy rice!

From the very beginning, he stated that we couldn't sit upstairs due to it being full but kept sending others upstairs to sit. Then he told us that the upstairs area was meant for couples of 2 when there was clearly already people of threes and fours sitting upstairs. Lastly the waiters told us we could move seats to a bigger table and he came to take the table from us and stated that his staff didn't control where we were sat and he placed another group that he preferred there instead. I felt the manager Benny was very dismissive to his staff and very rude! Will not return soley based off this experience.
