The kimchi fried rice was delicious! Slightly dry but the flavor and egg on top made it so worth it! Would highly recommend for the yummy kimchi options they have and good selection of ramen from simple to complex. Good choices for thise who dont eat red meat! They have quick and friendly service. Order outside at a kiosk. Some indoor seating and lots of outdoor seating. Definitely will be back!

Unfortunately, the flavors are all wrong. The tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) was neither sweet nor sour, but rather a weird salty flavor. The jjampong was similarly poor, not tasting the right way. I haven’t yet tried the jjajangmyun, but I do not have high hopes.

The bulgogi ramen was under-seasoned. When I got home, I had to add salt and pepper to the broth, since it was unbelievably bland. The egg was also over cooked.

I’ve been going to this place for almost 20 years while ownership may have changed it still one of my fav places to get jaja meng noodles for cheap. And they are delicious. I think they still make the noodles from scratch

Noodles that they sell are all instant noodles. Horrible experience. I can buy one and cook at home for 2 bucks rather than eating at their store for 12usd.

Cheap Korean-American options that are filling, satisfying and soulful. It’s great that its open late and food comes out fresh. I also like supporting the small Asian businesses.

Worst packaging ever. Why not just pour my $15 soup directly into the plastic bag instead of pretending to have a functional container that leaks everywhere. The food itself is okay but there are a lot of other places in berkeley to get ramen who know how to package it so it doesn’t spill everywhere. I feel terrible for the delivery people who pick up this ticking time bomb of spilled soup and negative customer ratings

Now I HAVE had ramen here before (or becayse it’s Korean ramen…ramyun), but what really stands out are the specialty dishes. Im talking things like kimchi jeon and their spicy rice cakes. It’s honestly so hard to find old Korean stuff around here and I have to say that Bear’s tops it. I order from this place all the time and it’s so good to have a nice, real Korean dish for once.

Bear’s Ramen House is my favorite Korean spot in Berkeley. I love the little hole-in-the-wall shop and Irene, the owner, is so sweet. They accept venmo and cash, not card, as a forewarning. The food here is authentic and they have my favorites like Mul Nnangmyun, Jajangmyun, and Tteokbokki <3
