Reviews for Mad Seoul in Berkeley, CA

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 wouldexpect. Overall, it was great and I will be returning the next time I have the chance. Read more

Love this place. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly. The restaurant has a modern, clean and tasteful design. And of... course the food is great! Lots of flavor and I love that it can still be super healthy and fit in as an everyday meal if youneed to grab a quick bite. Read more

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. Read more

Very fresh and delicious, especially the sauces. It was very fast to go through the line. It essentially felt like... Korean-American Chipotle, which will always be a good model. Fast and friendly service. Read more

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 thisplace deserves my second place to record five stars!! Few tips: 1) Seoul Heat + Spicy Gochujang combination would be too hotfor people with an ordinary immunity to spiciness. This is even hot for Koreans like me, who are eating those hot dishes everyday. If you wanna try it, request more rice and less sauce. 2) I have tried Classic, Seoul Heat, and Spicy Pork so far. Irecommend Classic if I should choose one. Spicy pork would be my second choice. 3) The amount is quite large. If two people whoare not that hungry visit this place, even one menu would be good. You may feel like you want to bring your plate to go, even ifyou decided to have it in the restaurant at the beginning. Then you can ask about a lid, then they will give you one. Read more

This place is one of my favorite places in Berkeley. Their food is very fresh. Delicious fusion Bibimbap

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

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. Veryenvironmentally friendly with almost everything being compostable. Vegetarian options present as well. ???????? Read more
