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

Our very first experience at a Korean restaurant -- and what a memorable one! Big thanks to our…read moreadventurous son and daughter-in-law for nudging us out of our comfort zone. 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!

The food was SO GOOD. Compared to other food in Berlin it was a little higher than usual (mine was €12) but the portions are decently sized and I still think it was worth it. Seating was fine when we went (around 4pm on a Monday) and there were a few different table options to choose from. They even offered us free tap water which I always appreciate. I'd definitely go back- the food here is lovely.

I cannot wait to come back tomorrow. Yeah, probably tomorrow. My son wants to try their spicy chicken BBQ, my hubby wants to try homemade Mandoo, and I'm totally going for their Kimchi Tofu soup.

~ TRENDY KOREAN STREET EATS WITH BIG BERLIN ENERGY ~…read more Stopped by YamYam while visiting Berlin and was curious to see what all the hype was about...and overall, I kind of get it. It's a vibey, busy little spot that serves up Korean comfort food with a modern, casual twist. Don't expect 100% traditional recipes here, but do expect tasty, filling dishes that hit the spot. I ordered the bibimbap with beef, and it came sizzling hot in a stone bowl (yes, that crispy bottom rice is everything). Topped with kimchi, egg, veggies. I also tried a friend's cha chang myun, and honestly, that might've been my favorite. Rich, savory, inky sauce with pork and potato, total noodle comfort food. If you're looking for deeply authentic Korean dishes, this might not check every box (some of the kimchi/gimbap purists might not vibe with it). Their cocktails are what stood out to us to most. Delicious, refreshing, and unique!
