I was in the area picking up cinnaholic cinnamon buns and I was in need of some food so I quickly picked CRUNCH since I wasnt really in the mood for a hotdog, burger, pizza, mediterranean, sushi, etc... (this area is packed with food options). I love the concept but the food left me disappointed. I got the kimchi fried noodle since I love noodles and I thought the kimchi flavor was the way to go since I was in a korean establishment. The portions look hugeeee because it comes out in this massive plate but its really not that big. For the price you pay, I think theyre a little conservative on the portions. The noodles itself was meh. The kimchi flavor was okay, not the best Ive had and the noodles were a little mushy. I do like how they use a thicker noodle and there was an egg on top. This dish was overall okay at best. Not sure if I would go back again given the amount of restaurants in the area but the fusion fried rice seems worth a try!

Korean-fusion food that hits the spot when you just need a quick or casual or inexpensive meal. Love the kimchi burrito, I usually order it with tofu instead of meat (theyll ask if you want soft or fried tofu - I recommend soft). Happily, they dont charge extra for brown rice. Many of their menu items are displayed on dishes right in front of the register for folks who might have a hard time deciding otherwise. The salmon ball appetizers look so yummy, gotta try those sometime.

They market themselves as fusion Korean food, but I honestly just find most of the food to be more bland versions of Korean traditional fares. They do have certain fusion essentials like kimchi fried rice burrito, but I found most of it be severely lacking in any form of punch. To be fair, I havent had anything particularly bad here, but even having tried numerous items from the menu, I havent found any of it to be particularly great.

Extremely bad service. Not sure about food cuz we ended up with not ordering anything. The server was ordering food for other guys with big smile but stop ordering for us for no reason. We asked many times whether she can for us with zero reply or attention. We did not intend to leave cuz we already waited for 15 min for the line. But we finally did and just after we left she helped order for the guy behind us. NOT ACCEPTABLE!

Large portion of great food for a reasonable price. They play korean music in the back ground (kpop mostly). Its a great place for lunch sit down BUT thats if you can find a seat. It can get really packed fast, especially during lunch time. When I eat here I always go around 11am or after the lunch time rush. Also after classes like around 5pm it gets super crowded. Its good food at a nice place.

The food is nothing special, but this is probably the only Korean place in the area (other than Berkeley social club which is more of a fusion food place). Fried rice was actually pretty good! And outside seating is a plus for sure.

Conveniently located by Bart station. Free WiFi. Place to sit waiting for Bart to come back into service

Acceptable Korean fusion food. Not amazing, but fine every now and then if you are craving kimchi.
