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!

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

Overall we had a nice experience here but there are better places to get Korean food. The stone bowls were good but there was hardly and beef in them. So I guess pay the 2€ extra for more meat. We also had the glass noodles with chicken which were not very flavorful. On the plus side: the rice tasted very nice! Also it was a nice atmosphere to sit outside on the terrace. Maybe try a different Korean place first.

I had such a fine dining experience here, that I did not want to wait to write a review…read more DISCLAIMER: this review will probably sound biased because 1) I'm Asian, and 2) I have not had Asian food, rice or vegetables since I left LA three weeks ago. Also, this might be a long review because I am STILL pleased with my experience tonight. Okay, so I have been craving rice and vegetables since I got to Europe three weeks ago. Sushi just was not cutting it for me, and I spent long hours searching up what restaurants seemed good, and coordinated it with my work schedule (I currently work in Potsdam, quite a commute!). I ran upon Madang while I was on Yelp and looking at yamyam instead. Madang seemed really close to my apartment in Tempelhof, so I decided today to go try it out. At first, I was really nervous because I have been pretty disappointed with the Vietnamese restaurants here in the past, that I did not want to be disappointed with Korean food, one of my favourite cuisines. When I got off the U-Bahn and found Madang, I was relieved to see it was owned by Korean people, and that there were Asian people eating -- VERY good sign! I decided to walk in and dine inside. I was greeted by a lady wearing a traditional Korean outfit, which I thought was pretty cool with the decor too. I ordered the bibimbap, and it was a hot day so I did not want it in the hot stone pot with the egg, but the lady convinced me anyway, so I did. When it came out, I was expecting it to be burning hot, like back in California, but it actually was hot enough for the egg to cook but cool enough for me to start digging in immediately! It also came with seaweed soup, beans and hot sauce. The bibimbap is definitely NOT the best nor close to California quality, but because I have little expectations in Berlin, I was satisfied! It could have used more meat though... I also did not think the hot sauce was hot enough...I put the whole thing in there, barely tasted spice. I guess I will ask for more next time. The seaweed soup was good, I avoided the beans, and the kimchi was...alright, kind of like kimchi you get at some ramen places. Anyway, if this was in California, I would give it 2.5 stars, but because I'm in Berlin AND because the servers were so nice (even let me take pictures of my stuffed blue fly inside and complimented it!), I will give this place four stars. They made me feel secure eating by myself too, haha. And I also got watermelon after my bill! Yay! (:
