It taste like…stronger flavor poke (?) or maybe it’s bc the signature classic bowl is with beef ?

Korean flavor is good, but rice is hard and couldn’t tell if the bowl was supposed to be hot or cold (settled on lukewarm). Ended up as a soggy mess and couldn’t really finish. We did make-your-own so maybe that was the issue.

Very decent Korean place. Especially, the amount – price ratio is very satisfactory. Even the taste is quite legit. I always feel hesitant to give five stars to a restaurant, which is the reason there is only one place I gave the top score. I think this place deserves my second place to record five stars!!

Aesthetic build-your-own bowls with large portions and decent price. Food itself is tasty and well-spiced. I’m a fan!

Food is great! Highly recommend. But rating one star because they made the weird decision not to carry chopsticks at a korean bowl place, hoping mgmt sees this and orders again.

Clean, ergonomic environment with refreshing Korean food. A fun oriental twist to the modern trend of restaurants such as subway, chipotle, poke restaurants, and etc where food is created as you’re ordering. Customer service is a solid 10. Very environmentally friendly with almost everything being compostable. Vegetarian options present as well.

I frequently walked by this place without paying it any mind. Don’t be a fool like me, it’s delicious and affordable.

Great Korean bowls, with a decently wide selection. I thought the “Seoul Heat” was especially good, although their prices are a big higher than what you would expect for a bowl of the size. But, it’s downtown Berkeley so the prices around what one would expect. Overall, it was great and I will be returning the next time I have the chance.
