Why 2 stars? 1) It's completely overpriced. Take a look at the salad/rice whatever. You get some sauce and pay 15€ for a midsize dish, that's too much 2) Taste - We didn't fully enjoyed the bulgogi and kimchi soup. It didn't taste self made. One star for the bimbimbap which was ok. Overall I wouldn't recommend this place unless you really crave korean food. This spot is too expensive for its offerings, taste and quality. read more

Wawa serves very large bibimbab bowls and I have to admit that I like that. I like the concept of creating your own bowl by choosing the toppings since this gives me more options as a vegan. Apart from bibimbab they have some of the Korean classics such as bulbogi (not for vegans), mandu, pajeon etc. Everything is really well prepared and well seasoned. My fried mandu came with some pickled radish that balanced the flavour nicely. The staff also brought us a special birthday pancake (a sweet pajeon with nuts and brown sugar) which was super nice. This venue is a lot of fun for omnivores and vegetarians/vegans. read more

WaWa - Korean Near Me - Berlin, BE

I love this fairly new Korean which has opened up by me. The menu is limited: 3 starters, 4 mains, 2 of which offer variations, 2 sides and 2 desserts... but what they do, they do extremely well. The food is melt in your mouth delicious! I had a craving for Asian food after my craving for tacos in a nearby restaurant was quashed due to it being closed. Besides, I had wanted to come here since it was opened. The place is decked out in a simple contemporary way. The service team were efficient and courteous. It was around 9.45pm when we arrived and the place was half full. We took a seat outside because it was relatively warm. To start we had the Edamame and an order of Mandu. Both were very good, the Edamame were perfectly seasoned and the Mandu, just right with a crunchy pickle garnish. For his main dish my bf had the So-Bulgogi , a huge portion of marinated beef which was served rice, kimchi and some sort of Ssamjang (Mixed Soybean & Chili Pepper Paste) dip. It also came with Lettuce so you could make Ssam if you prefer (lettuce wraps). Well he was very pleased indeed with his choice and I could taste why. The beef was just melted on your tongue. It was so good, it cost €12.50 but like I said it was a huge portion and perfected prepared. For my main I decided to try the Bibimbap with Dweji -Bulgogi (marinated pork) for €8.50. The portion was also huge and though the dish was hot it didn't really sizzle so there was less crunch at the bottom which I do confess I like! Having said that, it really was very, very good! The ingredients were carefully prepared and very fresh. Up until now I had only ever had Bibimbap with a fried egg on top at WaWa they replace it with cut strips of egg instead. I wondered if this would alter the dish somehow in terms of taste and texture but it didn't. Very tasty indeed! The other customers seemed happy as Larry too as we exchanged glances of. I will be coming here again. I couldn't manage dessert as I was absolutely stuffed but you can bet I will be updating you on that as soon as possible! All in all, a lovely little Korean restaurant! read more

Wow, I have to say the food of Wawa is simply amazing. I haven't tasted such great Bibimbap for ages since I moved here. I have tried several Korean restaurants already, but surely this is the best one so far. The restaurant itself isn't so big, the design inside is quite simple, very down to earth. Great place to hang out with friends. There is a bus stop and U-bahn station Kleistpark close by, it took around 6 mins to get from one to another. I went there with my partner and friends, we all enjoyed the food really much. I had Mandu as the starter, it looked just like dumpling, but in Korean style. It tasted great. My main dish was Bibimbap with Bulgogi (beef), like I mentioned before, it was amazing. Haven't had something like this for a long time. I also tried the Bulgogi dish a bit. Super, both of them recommended. For dessert, I had the Hottók, which recommended by our waiter. It looked a bit dull, but tasted surprisingly great. For me, one round was definitely enough, it was quite sweet. At the end, I think this place is amazing. Great service, delicious food and great price. If you like Asian food lover or particular Korean kitchen fan, there is surely the place to go. read more

Short story: food is very delicious, staff is extremely friendly, lovely atmosphere and enough space for everybody, great place to meat friends for a lunch or to be alone if you desire so. One of the best Korean Restaurants so far. Long story: I have been here as part of Yelp Elite Event. Staff of Wawa organized everything very well, so the event went smooth. In my opinion, they had really good choice of food. Sadly, we did not try any Ramen (being a Korean TV-Series junkie I know they love it), but we were so full that we couldn't possibly try anything else :-) It was really funny to make a wrap with salad, rice, meat and paste and put it in your mouth - I mean the whole thing! Delicious :-) Weird, but I've never been here before. And it is indeed weird, because I live just around the corner and am a huge fan of Korean food. Location is lovely - red color rocks! Service is exclusively friendly and polite. I think it'll be good for a lunch with friends or eat by yourself and enjoy the atmosphere. 5 stars, because I have nothing to complain about :-) read more

Nice cute westernized version of Korean cuisine. Missed the onslaught of pickled vegetables. Mandu had a nice crispy skin but the filling was kind of plain. The bulgogi beef lettuce wraps were wonderful especially the dipping sauce. The savory Korean pancake was good but not extraordinary. The ambiance is tasteful and modern but the heating reminded me of China in the winter - cold air coming through the wall that opens completely in the summer and must be great for sitting outside. The prosecco was unimpressive, the Saar rosé very nice for the price (€13)! The waiters were friendly and polite. It feels like a family business which is nice. Verdict:We liked this restaurant and will be back - a new corner of the city for us - but we're spoiled by the very good Korean restaurants in Guatemala City (who'd have thought). read more

Perhaps the best tasting bulgogi I've had. The mandu dumplings were flavourful as well. Reservations are highly recommended. (We didn't have any but they graciously squeezed us in anyway.) read more

I had a hot cheeze Bulgogi.Oh it was good. It was actually spicy, which is very rare in Berlin. Nice environment and nice Leute:-D

I tend to agree with the other reviewers in that Wawa seems to be the best Korean in the area. Their chilli paste isn't super spicy but gets the job done. Daytime offerings are a few different kinds of Bibimbap and a few soup variations. The kimchee is fresh, not fermented and they offer a not spicy one as well. I understand there's more on offer evenings though... read more

3 stars because you don't grill the meat yourself at your table. Flavor wise, excellent. I asked for "half scharf" bulgogi I which is between the normal non spicy and very spicy and it opened my sinuses but didn't cause tears. Wait staff speaks great English and explain how to do eat each dish if you look confused. The decor is stylish, great for date night. Only good for 1st date if both over Korean bbq. They give you this little roled up wetnap for your hands, NOT EDIBLE. I didn't try but I was like "was ist das????" Menu is German and English. Vibing music for the decor and clientele. On Friday and Saturday have a reservation or come close to opening. I got there at 6pm on a Saturday with no reservation and they were booked up from 7pm onward. Not too loud either! read more

Few steps away from the U-Bahn Stations Eisenacher Str/Kleistpark, and right in the middle of the chilled out but cool area of Berlin-Schöneberg. The staff has the well known asian friendly aura, and speaks fluent english . They were friendly enough to assist me in using the korean chopsticks, how to follow the Korean dinner etiquette , and most importantly how to eat! Loved the lettuce wraps that you can do yourself. It has a social touch, where you try things with your friends and switch between the ingredients. The korean beer tasted more like german beer....which is good enough for me. perfect 5 stars. read more

Very authentic and tasty. Bibimbap was great, and the spicy beef Bulgogi was truly spicy (i.e. eyes-tearing-down-level spicy) and not "Germanized". read more

4.5 stars for lovely easygoing atmosphere and service, 3.5 for food. Had the beef and veg bibimbap, which were both enjoyable, but didn't reach into the fantastic or memorable realm. Will go again for sure to try the bulgogi. Great place to take people to try Korean food, but for one experienced in Korean you may want to play down the food and play up the atmosphere. read more

WaWa - Beef bibimbap with veg bibimbap, kimchi, and a mini miso suppe in the background - Korean Near Me - Berlin, BE

Comparing with other Korean restaurant in Berlin, Wawa is very unique and decent. The place is net and the service is awesome. Food is very nice and the portion is good. read more

Food was nice, but the service not so much. I booked a table and the wanted to give us a sit in the small bar close to the door (kind of a "waiting area ") but we said no and waited standing to other table to finish read more

A hidden gem in beautiful Berlin. I always search for Korean food places when I'm travelling and the reviews looked good. This small place in Schöneberg is cozy and the Korean staff makes the place more authentic. We chose to taste the Bibimbap, which comes in large bowls with fresh ingredients with soya and the Bibimbap sauce on the side. Banchan (the side dishes) was a tofu soup and kimchi. The soup was lovely, but I have tasted better kimchi. Definitely a place I would come back to, next time I am in Berlin. read more

OUTSTANDING!! From the moment I enter the door the staff was friendly and provided excellent service. The food was just amazing! I was lucked to get a seat without reservations but like I said the staff was able to fit me in, so make reservations! Thanks WaWa for a great dinning experience! read more

They have great Bibimbap. Coming from visiting Korea, my expectations were low but it was actually up to par with the authentic! You will need a reservation, I did not know that until we arrived and the host asked if we made one. Luckily someone was extremely late for theirs so they let us sit down. Small place, but great food. read more

I am a fan of Korean food and this place doesn't disappoint -- neither does the Kimchi. Whenever I am in the neighborhood I try to stop by. Prices are okay, wish they were a bit lower. read more

Got the veggie mandu and bibimbap. The former were great, but as for the latter -- everything was fine except the rice, which amounted to the whole affair being the worst bibimbap I've ever had. (Which, to put in perspective, isn't that catastrophic, since it was all in all still a fine, edible lunch.) The best I can describe it is dry and broken instead of the wonderful elastic chewiness for which I dragged my been-sick-for-going-on-a-week ass out of bed, down four flights of stairs, through January drizzle, three bus stops north. And to top it off, there wasn't an egg topping it off (or rather, there wasn't even such an option). Good service and a lovely interior, though. read more

The food was good for a Korean restaurant in berlin. However, the korean food experience is diminished by the lack of the plethora of banchan, or korean side dishes. Even the kimchi, a must at the korean, table was not offered with the meal, but as a purchased side dish. The prices are reasonable, but guests should be offered selected banchan for no cost. read more

Sooo delicious! The staff is also very friendly. I became a regular customer in the past 1 year. I would recommend to reserve before going.

Tasty place! I had noodles with tofu and dumplings. It was awesome! If I lived in Berlin this would definitely be my spot.

Very cozy place with super nice people. The food I have had better in other Korean restaurants but this one is unbeatable when it comes to atmosphere and service! read more

A limited menu but what they have is great. If you like bibimbap or bulgogi this is a great place to go. service is friendly, prices are appropriate. Try the Korean pancake! read more

This was my first visit to a Korean restaurant ever. We asked the waitress for suggestions and she explained what were the more traditional dishes and also how you eat them - very important when your meal is delivered with about 5 or 6 dishes together (sides, sauces, etc.). The lettuce wrap dish was SUPER hot. Good taste but wow, be careful. read more

This is a very good, authentic Korean restaurant in a very pleasant setting at Grunewaldstrasse in Schöneberg. Frequented by lots of Asians ( Koreans?) which is slways a good sign. They only have a limited menu but everything is delicious. Prices are really reasonable. Excellent small restaurant! read more
