If you're Korean-American, you know the stuff that's easy to cook, but too much work to have on hand all the time, or your roommates hate the smell of fried kimchi? Come here. Egg and Spam Kimchi Fried Rice. And Ddukbokkgi (sp?) with spam. :)

Some of the BEST ramen i had, seasoned just right. Other places dont season their ramen. Great customer service.

I have been going here for years! Quality food and great service. I love the kimchi fried rice with spam and egg! It's so flavorful and such generous serving. My favorites is the ramen... I love thy you can customize it your liking... I get extra veggies... affordable too! Don't miss it on the south side!!

I came to this restaurant because I really really needed to use the restroom. Other restaurants refused to give me the key. However, the owner here was kind and very understanding. Super nice and has a great attitude. Gave me the key in exchange for ordering food and holding my credit card which of course is fine because keys are expensive to replace especially through the landlord. I decided to get the potstickers as it was my first time in Berkeley, the potstickers are amazing. Tasty, fresh, meaty and crispy. Parking was a challenge but I'm definitely going to be back to try their Ramen. I mean, Ramen is in the name. Should've tried it but I went Korean BBQ before I came here. Thank you again for the tasty food and for letting me use the outside bathroom! Kudos 감사합니다

Quick Summary: - Cute interior, narrow but cozy - Bar tables with tall chairs, room to place bags underneath - Ordering can be done at the kiosk - Content portions, entered hungry, left full - No banchan It was around lunchtime, when we headed here to eat. It uses the SnackPass kiosk, so we ordered it from there. We picked one, that was labeled as 'popular,' and the rest we chose by interest. I love Korean styled rice cakes, so I picked the Gooksoo with it. This was the first time to eat Gookso; it looked as thick as an udon noodle (which is my favorite noodle). While the reviews say that the wait time is long, I didn't think it was. If one is expecting to get their food soon after they are notified, then maybe waiting for five minutes after they were called feels late? I can't be too sure because I didn't order by take out (I was dine-in). The food arrived in this order: kimchi fried noodle, curry Gooksoo, and the rice cake Gookso. The noodle is good! As a person, who likes udon, this was almost like it. I think it's more tender and easier to chew, so it's not as suitable as udon or ramen, to slurp. My favorite would be the kimchi fried noodle in this food experience. The noodle texture was great and the sauce that was on it - it had a creamy texture. It was something I never tried before! The curry Gooksoo tastes good too! Kind of reminds me of how we cook our homemade curry. The spiciness was just right for me (low spice tolerance). It contains a lot of vegetables, and they were cooked to the soft tenderness. This and the kimchi fried noodles are great for the summer day. I also liked the rice cake noodle, but comparing it with the other two this on didn't shine as much. It has a lighter tasting broth, so it was refreshing to eat, almost like a palette cleanser for the two impact tasting dishes. Maybe if this one had some kimchi on the side, the flavor could have been enhanced, but overall this was a good dish. Definitely would return here to eat the fried noodle and to have another bowl of Gooksoo
