Steve's Korean Bbq

This place is practically a Berkeley staple. This restaurant has been here longer than I've been alive. Eating here, you'll understand why they've survived all the turnover, while many places haven't. The staff is friendly. The food (proteins) is made to order and always fresh. The Kim chi obviously has to be made beforehand. There's great flavor and the spice for the spicy chicken is enough for you to be satisfied, but not enough for you to breath fire. I've never been unsatisfied coming here over 20 years.

Consistently good and reasonably priced, as most Asian Ghetto places go. The spicy pork keeps calling me back, because it's spicy, fatty, and comforting. Not the best Korean food I've had, but it's pretty tasty. Each dish comes with a side of rice, pickled bean sprouts, and kimchi. You can get tea for free, and they're very quick about getting your food orders out. The staff is friendly, and they look like they're always having a good time working together and cooking. Definitely a great place to grab a quick bite!

This place never fails to fulfill a student’s (or alumni’s) hunger. This place has been here for so long, but it shouldn’t be a surprise. The barbecue plates are yummy and the portions are great especially for the reasonable price. There are a variety of barbecue and other food plates to choose from.

I'm generally forgiving with my reviews, but my God that beef bibimbap was not seasoned at all. The food was just so bland, I had to force myself to finish it because I was hungry. Sure there was a decent amount of food, which is good if all you want to do is fill your stomach, but you can already do that at the multitude of other restaurants in Berkeley for the same, or cheaper price.
