Best KPortal Reviews

Solid quantity and quality of food for its pretty reasonable price. Ordered a shrimp udon and though the noodles were not true udon, it was a solid quantity of food and came with six shrimp. And a bowl of miso soup. A nice environment too. Tastes pretty good.
Great Japanese & Taiwanese food ????
The portion is satisfying while the price is relatively affordable! They also have free hot green tea and would serve you a cup of miso soup along with your order! (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)
The waiting might take a little longer than fast food restaurants of course, but you’d know they make your order freshly, and it’s worth it! ????
The vibe in the restaurant is unique and antique. A nice place for people who love hanging out with friends in the special place, or just enjoy yourself ????????
# Fried Pork Noodle Udon
Self served tea, and a bowl of miso with each order (if you ask for it). Very tight interior space, but the service is nice. The two homies who take orders and bring out food are very friendly and respectable. There's a nice lady as well who will bring out food and clean. They speak mandarin too!
The food is what you'd expect from a crowded small japanese restaurant in Berkeley for maybe around or a bit over $10 per entree.
Been coming here quite a bit. Speedy service and nice clean tables inside. Super close location so it’s very convenient if you are coming from Soda or Cory Hall. Personally I do find the tables outside to be a little low in level when eating. I love their Beef Udon and Chicken Katsu! I usually leave satisfied and full :)!
This might be the best value for money in Berkeley. Great choice of delicious meals, friendly staff, and very reasonable prices. I come here every time I'm in the area. Big thumbs up.
A really good dining place with nice decoration and good food (Taiwanese/Japanese style). Price is very fair.
There's a reason that Aki's has thrived for decades at the back of the little food court on Hearst, just uphill a few yards from Euclid—fair prices for excellent food served by friendly and competent staff.
My favorites are the bento boxes, most of which come with tempura, yakitori, miso soup, and rice. I avoid carbs, so they kindly leave potato out of the vegetable tempura and give me boiled cabbage instead of rice. I particularly like the sashimi bento and fried fish bento. Meals include self-service tea.
Teriyaki chicken served tepid. Tempura veggies pastie. College acceptable since students usually have no pallette. Salmon seems to be gone, ALWAYS. Miso Soup is good
