Mad Seoul offers great Korean-fusion-esque food with lots of healthy options. Interior is very clean and modern. Service is overall very friendly -- I've never had any problems! I've been going to Mad Seoul for years now and they've been able to consistently maintain the quality and freshness of their food, which is impressive. I love their salad bowls and bibimbap! My usual order is their spicy chicken salad bowl with gochujang sauce and all of their toppings (e.g. carrots, kimchi, mushrooms, zucchini, turnip, etc.). Their meat is always so juicy and full of flavor -- a little salty, but nonetheless, very fresh and satisfying. I only wish they offered more salad in their salad bowls; because the meat tends to be so juicy and salty, I feel like more greens would be great in balancing out the saltiness. Their ordering process is very easy for both dine in and to-go. Since I'm always scarfing meals between lab and my classes, I primarily order online and do pick-up. The online ordering platform is seamless and I love that I get to customize my food just the way I want.

My fave Korean joint in the east bay! Do you love Korean food? Do you love options? Do you love your meal getting assembled in front of you? Then yeah this is your spot! Fresh food, and super delicious!! Go with the spicy pork bowl, you will not be disappointed!!! Most people get take out so there are plenty of open seats!! Super friendly staff!

I'm doing some late night work and don't have time to cook tonight so I Door Dashed from this Korean place and got Spicy Pork and added a Soft Boiled Egg as an extra add on. The portions were generous and I got all of this for a little more than $25. It had plenty of veggie toppings and meat portions which were pretty tasty! I would've given this place 5 stars but it took a little longer than most places to prepare the food and get it to me and the food could've been a little warmer but overall a great go to place for a yummy Korean BBQ Bowl!

I also ordered a spicy chicken taco for good measure and it delivered too. I'd happily get lunch from Mad Seoul again soon.
