A great place for a quick bite. The bbq chicken lunch special is a good deal. And tasty too. The comes up quickly.

Years later Steve's is still the best value in town. We went here frequently as students, but as adults the food is still good enough for the price and portions.

I used to come here all the time when I was going to school at Cal 25 years ago. I was in the area today, so I looked up whether it was still there, and it was! The place looked about the same. I asked the guy at the register if the place was still under the same ownership from 25 years ago, and he said yes. I remembered from college that this place gave generous portions and the taste was pretty good. But with Covid and that 25 years have passed, my expectations were not too high that it would be the same. I ordered the BBQ short ribs with a double order of the bean sprout salad instead of kimchi. The portions were as generous as I remembered, and the taste was as good as I remembered as well. The price was also cheap compared to other Korean restaurants. $20 for a generous order of BBQ short ribs. That's at least $35 else where. If you are looking for a no frills, cheap but good Korean bbq, look no further. This was one of my go-to places when I was in college, and it's just as good as I remembered going back 25 years later.

Steve's is my go-to! Berkeley has many great food options but man when you need a solid reliable spot for great galbi, Steve's hooks it UP with their portions. Honestly could make it into two meals for the price of one. They really reliable and quick when it comes to ordering from them. If you want to go, take it to-go; if you'd like to sit down grab a seat--either way you're going to enjoy the food!

Been going to this place for over 30 years now. Since my college days - now my kids college days. Still great BBQ chicken and galbi for relatively cheap. Not like $5-6 bucks like the old days, but it's still cheap for the amount of food compared to any other korean shop. I always make it a point to stop by for some takeout when I'm in town. Don't come here for the ambience and service...come for the mountain of meats. Ok it's not true Korean fare, but it's no more or less than other ethnic restaurants in gourmet ghetto. Man I dream of Yokohama Station and its undercooked chicken rice dishes...Japanese food...not! Wonder if Steve wants to sell the joint? :-)

It is my go-to spot for quick and tasty KBBQ. I love their Barbecue Short Rib, and here's why it's great - it's seasoned just right and super tender. The sides, like kimchi and bean sprout salad, add extra zing and freshness to the meal. These sides not only complement the short rib beautifully but also refresh your palate. Plus, you get a generous portion of rice to enjoy with everything.
