I've walked by this place on an almost daily basis since the start of Summer. Today was one of those "oh crap Fall is literally around the corner" days and we decided to order some Ban Ban Kitchen and take a seat outside. My boyfriend and I both ordered the Chicken Nori Tacos and the Seoul Fries. I think the nori tacos are a great concept. They're composed of two, maybe three sheets of nori (seaweed) with a layer of white rice, possibly mayo, cabbage, and grilled chicken. I wolfed them down quickly letting my hands get messy as any proud American would (Kein Gabel bitte!). The Seoul Fries were steak fries sprinkled with chili powder and served with soy sauce (to dip). I forgot how much I love steak fries. The chili powder was a nice touch but I lost a lot of it when I used my napkin to wipe off the excess salt. I had never thought to use soy sauce as a dip before because of the high sodium content but it's worth it! There is limited seating, which will probably be non-existent come winter but they do takeaway. The hut itself is super cute and built around a huge tree. We waited no more than ten minutes for our food. *One Week Later* I tried the Kimchi Fries and loved them. They're steak fries with kimchi (I have been missing some spice in Berlin) with chicken. They're simple in context but not simple in taste. read more

Oh boy oh boy oh boy, I was never so excited to write a review! I've been living in Berlin for a while now and every time I passed by this place I was either on my way somewhere or it was closed. My first experience with Korean food wasn't too good but I felt like I can relate to some of the foods that they offer, so this place seemed to me like an easy start. If you don't know it, it's a very small place that looks like a shack, and the tree inside makes it even smaller, there are very few chairs and two people in the counter/kitchen- So the main idea is that you can choose between chicken beef or soy that come inside or on top of seaweed tacos, fries, burger or bibimbap (sorry if it's spelled wrong) The guy at the counter was really nice and helpful and recommended to my friend who couldn't decide. Not too long after we got our dishes- they were not too big but very yummy- My friend had chicken with seaweed taco and I had bulgogi beef on kimchi fries The sauces and flavors were really good! And it was very warm and cosy inside, despite the small size of the place. The drinks section is also pretty fascinating because some of the drinks they offer are not very popular in other places... A.i ginger beer or aloevera drink. I'm coming again for sure read more

Ban Ban Kitchen - Nori chicken tacos - Korean Near Me - Berlin, BE

The Korean tacos are fantastic. You get 2 for 5€. They are delicious. They fill you up. Yes that's maybe a euro or two more than a döner, but please support these guys, I've had enough döner for a thousand lifetimes. read more

This location has been moved a few blocks west of its original location. I got a bibim box (or however you spell it) and it was very very good. Wish it was a little spicier for Korean food though. Also it's a little bit pricer than most places in Berlin, but still worth the €5-7. read more

really tasty, fast, friendly, nice price, nice place, sense of design. its really nice in summer. i tried nori tako, and bibim box with chicken. they created really good in 'fushion food' im korean, but its also good taste for me too. most of korean restaurants which ive tried were a bit only for 'Ausländer(foriegner)' but ban ban kitchen mixed very well. i will try also kimchi pommes next time. there is Hite, korean beer, its fresh and also good for drinking, like coke. many friends of mine love ban ban kitchen also. read more

The nori tacos and kimchi burger are both delicious, but I'm going to have to take off a star because both the burger and tacos had difficulty holding together once I stated eating it. The soy superstar is a great option for vegans that my vegan friends really enjoyed. They make the food fresh which is a bonus! read more

There is barely something as nice as nori tacos in the middle of the night. For real. I mean it! Ban Ban kitchen is a small cosy food stall randomly set on the side way which offers some pretty good S(e)oul food. The kitchen is Asian fusion and you have the choice between burgers with kimchi and bulbogi or tacos wrapped in seaweed with rice and other yummy toppings. Ever wondered if kimchi goes well with fried? They do! Try it here! Their menu isn't huge but everything is so good that in the end you want to order all of it. And to be fair... Do it. #yolo read more

Ban Ban Kitchen - Kimchi fries and nori tacos - Korean Near Me - Berlin, BE

We were getting drinks in the area in was looking for a quick place to grab a bite to eat. Ban Ban Kitchen was nearby so we gave it a try and made it right before it closed. The kimchi fries were delicious! The nori tacos were ok, it can get a bit messy to eat. The kimchi box looked pretty good. It's mostly a one person operation.. order taker/cashier and then he turns around and starts cooking. There were no lines when we arrived but while we were eating, numerous people came in and had to wait. There's limited seating (about 3 tables inside). If you're vegetarian, there's a soy super veggie option. read more

Good burgers and fries are also delicious. I am a huge kimchil fan so to have fries smothered in kimchi is like a dream made from heaven. Its a great place to go for food on the run or in the summertime, grab it to go and head to the Tempelhofer Feld just a hop skip and jump away. This downed with some beer is a defo great quick dinner that is cheap and satisfying. My only wish is that the burger meat was all together and not chopped up to bits. Not a fan of that. read more

Interesting & contemporary but it was a bit bland for our taste buds. It's still worth trying & I'd definitely have Ban Ban again.

Really cool place! We ordered the burger with fries which were really good. The service was a bit slow but really friendly and nice. Definitely will come back to try other dishes. read more

Great Korean fast food place. I just love to eat there every time I'm in this area. Staff is very friendly! The food is really good and at a reasonable price. read more

Mwoa..Burger was ok, not great. Price for the burger was ok too. But with fries and a drink the meal is waaaaaaaay overpriced at 15 euro's.

It's unique fast food that you have to eat on the sidewalk, but we thought it was a little overpriced for streetfood. We were still a little hungry after 2 mains and 1 side. read more

Always great! Only thing I don't like on the menu are the Nori Tacos but everything else is delicious. The dishes could be tiny bit bigger to be honest. The new location at Schillerpromenade is a bit more modest, I liked the raw garage atmosphere a bit better but this is also nice. read more

Streetfood Korean Style. Good prices and certainly something different compared to the your regular Döner. Recommended.

Overpriced and not very tasty. Bulgogi Bim Box quite average, too many flavors literally mushed in together.

We are very disappointed. We were expecting to try some different food, but it tasted like warmed up leftovers. To add, each meal costs around 6eur. read more

The food and service is great as is the location and vibe. I really like to eat here but I also prefer Mmaah which serves similar food nearby. I was a little disappointed by the size of the portion of fries considering the price but the rest of the food was a good portion and delicious so it's a minor negative. They are also always playing music that I like which is a plus. read more

Had the soy burger and kimchi fries and they were really tasty but there could be more volume for value on the burger's end.

I had the soy meat burger and it was so tasty! Kimchi and fresh cabbage made for a really nice garnish and the bun was soft outside and crispy inside. The fries were disappointing though - I thought they were a but undercooked and I wish they made sauces free and not 0,50 per serving. I'd like to go back and try the bibim box! read more

fantastic korean nori tacos--bulgogi and the rice were perfect. friendly staff, cute little stand with a few tables if you want to eat there. read more

This is one of my favourite places in Neukölln. Inexpensive, tasty, spicy good comfort soul food with a Korean touch. The kimchi fries with bulgogi beef are absolutely delicious! Very original. I can really recommend this place. read more

No, no, no... What a terrible experience ! I know this is not the Ritz, but food can be real and a place, clean. And on top of this, what an arrogant service ! read more

as much as i like the concept, and as practical it is for me, as i live across the road, ive admittedly only been there once. heres why: we were a group of about 6, so we actually managed to order everything on the menu, and passed everything around for all to taste. although tastewise, most things were pretty good, we were all a little underwhelmed about the sizes of the dishes especially as everything averaged out on about 5€ per dish. my favourite was the special that they had, an pork-bulgogi döner with asian herbs and spices (which was coincidentally both the most flavoursome and largest dish). i really did not like the fried "dumplings", which im sorry to say, looked like mini mcdonalds apple pies and tastewise consisted mainly of dough. everyone raves about the burger. its good, but tiny, really tiny. what i really liked was the take on "meat and chips" with kimchi and gochujang mayonaise, i can so see myself getting that completely hungover one day. all in all it wasnt bad; its cute and cool and definitely worth a visit! read more
