This is my favorite place to eat in Berkeley. I've dined here 10x in the fall and 10x this spring. Thanks for your all terrific service and friendly workers

Here's a review for Koja Kitchen: Koja Kitchen has come a long way from its lunch truck days, now boasting multiple store locations. During my recent visit to one of their establishments, I was impressed by the fast service and delicious food. The rice had a delightful crunchiness to it, complementing the juicy beef perfectly. The spice levels were just right, adding an extra dimension to the overall taste experience. Koja Kitchen continues to deliver quality and flavor, making it a must-visit for anyone craving a satisfying meal.

Wanted some Korean fusion and KoJa hit the spot! A little on the pricier side but large potions there is enough food for 2 people. Tried the chicken bowl, and steak bowl with fries. The chicken bowl was moist and flavorful with good kimchi and fluffy rice. I paid for it to be topped with a perfectly runny egg. It's worth it to pay for the egg. The beef bowl came with their famous fries and my daughter loved them. Again, very large potions and the food tastes great. If your looking for a quick meal it's worth it to try it out.

Food: great. The umami fries was amazing. Beef Koja was good and teriyaki bowl was so filling with half rice and half salad Drink: I love their banana milk with whipped cream. It was so good Atmosphere: was not busy since the it was raining but I image it would be busy since it locates on Telegraph, a busy street. Service: good. The wait is reasonable

Great reasonable priced food. I got the kamikaze fries and chicken bowl for $18 total. Easily enough food for 2 people, and struggled to finish it myself. I recommend the kamikaze fries

Koja Kitchen impresses with its innovative Korean-Japanese fusion cuisine, especially the signature KoJa burgers that creatively blend crispy rice buns with savory fillings. The ambiance is a comfortable mix of casual and trendy, making it ideal for various dining occasions. Staff are friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. While there may be longer waits during peak times and prices seem a bit high for the portion sizes, the quality of the food makes it worth it. Definitely a four-star experience for those looking to explore a unique take on Asian fusion.

3.5/5 My friend and I got the Bulgogi combo bowl with Cal fries and a drink and it wasn't bad. The fries were definitely a highlight and came with special sauces (spicy mayo, shoyu and something nutty?). Their bowls were okay, but their beef was pretty dry and there wasn't too much meat. However the general portion was large and I saved this for a second meal! Pro tip: order in Snackpass for a 15% off discount your first order!

Great place to get quick food that's filling and flavorful. I ordered the Korean buffalo wings and Umami fries and they both were super good. Ordered for pick up to bring back to my dorm and the order was done within 15 minutes. I was shocked at how fast it came out but the food was super fresh. The wings were crisp and a great size. Nice flavor in the sauce. The fries were the star for me! The pork was so good and the sauces really complement the entire dish. I was super full after eating this. If you're around UC Berkeley and need something fast and tasty, definitely stop here.
Good food, nice flavors. Hours tend to vary, which has been frustrating over the years, but the food's good enough to put up with it. Recommended.

Food was average at best. Service was slow (with mistakes made in the order) even though the place had just opened and was empty.

Umami fries are consistently good. Reasonable price and the portion is enough for a meal. Garlic aioli sauce fusion is quite good.

On the pricier side for sure-- around $17 for Kami kaze fries and a chicken burger but their flavors hit right! I loved the crispiness of the kami kaze fries with the sauce and the beef bits on top, it was delicious! The chicken sandwich was a chicken sandwich with "Asian" sauces which put a nice spin on it for me! Would I order it again-- if Koja was the ONLY place open, but it was good to check out!
