    Dumplings and side dishes! Not enough kimchi
    Lynn M.

    A great Korean restaurant in Berlin! Berlin definitely doesn't have access to the same ingredients and resources that NYC does but this restaurant is doing well with what they got. They gave us five plates of side dishes, but there was too little kimchi. When we asked for more, they didn't give it to us because they kept forgetting. They're really understaffed which is clearly hurting them right now. We got the dumplings, kimchi pancake, beef bulgogi, and pork belly. The BBQ was descent. Quality of meat isn't great but for the price, they are very generous with the quantity and we were satisfied. Kimchi pancake was odd. It was really deep fried rather than more doughy and the taste of kimchi was barely there. However it was still quite tasty. I will definitely go back here! It's super cheap. However, it doesn't have great service. I didn't feel angry because I felt bad for them. They're working hard and trying their best but it's just not working. Overall, my friends and I ate a ton of food for ten euros each. I will certainly go back but I hope they can revamp a bit!! -------------- I just went back and got the duck. It was crispy on the outside and very meaty. Delicious. Definitely a bit too salty but it was good. My friend ordered the bibimbap and asked to replace the beef with tofu. They were very understanding and made the adjustment. The veggies in the bibimbap were pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised. They also refilled our banchan(side dishes) this time! Good experience but still keeping it at three stars for now.

    Spicy chicken bbq and sweet fried chicken

    Food is really good for someone who's not really familiar with korean cuisine. I brought a local friend and she said it was okay, some are white-washed. Otherwise outdoor seating is great. Some service personnel could be friendlier. All in all a "friendly" restaurant with decent meals. Recommend!

    Funky Korean place!!!

    Little Korea in Berlin - very authentic restaurant with a good selection of Korean dishes. Good spicy kimchi to start with, but fewer starters than I am used to from other Korean restaurants. We had the bibimbap and a Koran pancake with seafood. I liked the simplicity of the rice dish - the pancake however was too greasy and hard to digest.

    Go for the excellent schnitzels (huge Wiener classic and Bayerisches with mustard), and don't miss the German tapas(a selection of 3/6/9 tasty small dishes).Among the top German restaurants in Berlin!

    Great place for Korean BBQ. Really reasonable price and huge portions compare to other Korean places in Berlin. We had the bibimbam and the BBQ pork. When the giant plate of raw meat on the portable grill arrived at our table, our jaws just dropped. Both the rice dish and the BBQ were delicious. The bachan little dishes has unlimited refill and they were perfect with cold beer.

    Great food, unique grill experience, affordable prices. Service and interiour should be better.

    Amazing Korean food!! We had the niangao hotpot, sweet sour pork and grilled octopus. They were all very authentic. The honey melon ice cream was also great. We paid 20 euro each. But we also ordered too much XD. The only disappointment is that the staff was very unfriendly.

    It's quite an experience to come here. The place is a bit hidden and doesn't look that inviting from the outside. Also the inside is a bit shocking at first glance as everything looks old and a bit dirty. If you manage to overcome the first shock and can stand the dirty menus, you'll enjoy some great Korean food. It's probably the best I tried in Berlin and really tastes super authentic. Just leave after you're done right away and remember the great taste. Love it! Cash only.

    korean BBQ, salad, korean style chicken and kimchi jiggae
    Gee 0.

    I visited Arirang with some friends and had a very good experience. The restaurant itself is a bit hidden and doesn't look too fancy from outside. The inner decor is also quite simplistic and not too elaborate. We sat outside, as the weather was very nice and the atmosphere was a bit better there. Then we ordered a menu for 4 people (the price was about 48€) which included Samgyupsal (korean BBQ), Kimchi Jiggae (Kimchi stew), korean style chicken, Kimchi Pajeon (something like a savory pancake), a korean style salad, a crispy duck dish and a round of banchans (korean side dishes). It was as much as it sounds as we were completely stuffed even after eating for two hours and packing some rests as take away. For about 12€ per person - an awesomely good deal! The korean BBQ was very delicious, as well as the Kimchi Jiggae (though not as spicy as usual) and the korean salad (surprisingly good), but the highlight were the korean style chicken - we all enjoyed it a lot. The pajeon was soso - a bit bland and too flappy. The crispy duck was average too, something they'd sell at every "chinese" imbiss. So overall, the prices there are very affordable (especially when you're with a large group and order a menu), the quality of the food differs from dish to dish. I myself was quite impressed with this restaurant and will definitely come back again!

    So this little Korean restaurant wasn't bad for a quick fix for some Korean food but some things were lacking overall. For as much Korean food I like to eat I would say it wasn't as "tasty" as a normal Korean place I'm use to. Granted I had only one dish. I would have to say it wasn't as good as I had hoped it to be. For the reviews that say it's a dirty place, I wouldn't say it's a "dirty" place but run down. It just needs a lot of TLC to get it looking good again. I would return again to try another dish in hopes of raising my score here but sadly time won't permit it. Authentic food, slightly run down place, no English menus but the waiter spoke a little English.

    Might look good but tasteless and not fresh

We have absolutely no regrets. We kicked things off with Korean mandu (dumplings) -- absolutely fantastic! Then came the spicy BBQ chicken, which really took us by surprise with its bold, delicious flavor. The bulgogi beef and galbi gui (boneless ribs) were cooked right at the table, which added a fun and reassuring touch of freshness. The taste was excellent, and all the accompanying sauces complemented the dishes beautifully. We left full and happy with all our choices. The restaurant itself was cozy, nicely decorated, and the service met all expectations. A great first dive into Korean cuisine -- we're already looking forward to the next time! 한국 음식점을 처음 방문한 경험이었는데, 정말 잊지 못할 순간이었습니다! 우리를 편안한 영역 밖으로 이끌어 준 모험심 강한 아들과 며느리에게 정말 감사해요. 전혀 후회하지 않았습니다. 먼저 한국식 만두로 시작했는데, 정말 환상적이었어요! 이어서 나온 매운 BBQ 치킨은 풍부하고 맛있는 풍미로 우리를 깜짝 놀라게 했습니다. 불고기와 갈비구이(뼈 없는 갈비)는 테이블에서 바로 구워줘서 신선함이 느껴졌고, 정말 재미있는 경험이었어요. 맛도 훌륭했고, 곁들여진 소스들도 음식과 아주 잘 어울렸습니다. 우리는 선택한 음식들에 모두 만족하며 배부르고 행복하게 식사를 마쳤습니다. 식당은 아늑하고 예쁘게 꾸며져 있었고, 서비스도 기대 이상이었습니다. 한국 음식에 대한 첫 경험이 아주 좋았고, 다음 방문이 벌써 기대됩니다!

    This place was a complete bait-and-switch. They advertised galbi gui, but what came out looked…read morenothing like galbi gui. Instead of grilled short ribs, I was served a saucy, spicy pan of meat and vegetables that felt more like a stir-fry than anything resembling the dish on the menu. If you are going to use the name of a classic Korean dish, at least serve something vaguely close to it. To make it worse, they told me KBBQ required ordering for 2 people minimum, so I was forced to buy two portions of this lie. That policy is already obnoxious, but it feels even worse when the food itself is misrepresented. And then the Korean pancakes came served with cream cheese. Very authentic. Nothing says traditional Korean food quite like random cream cheese slapped onto dishes that do not call for it. Overall, this place felt overpriced, misleading, and gimmicky. If you want actual Korean food, go somewhere that does not rewrite the menu and call it authentic

The lady behind the cashier who took my order is not korean and nor is the person in the kitchen (i was a bit surprised) but the food was great My problem comes when we asked for the check. I got the tofu kimchi which was supposed to be €5.9 but she told me €7.5 same as my friends who got bibimbap ?!? So I said that I got tofu kimchi which if I recalled should be cheaper than bibimbap €7.5 she later corrected it but still i dont know how she came up with €7.5 in the first place. She was reading it off the bill which means the bill was wrong as well? Not sure if this is just an honest mistake or she was trying to rip me off but it was such a simple that should not cause any confusion or stupid mistake. Totally ruined my meal and thus -1 for that
