BAN BAN KITCHEN — Restaurant in Berlin

Disclaimer: This place is NOT Korean at all. This is a Vietnamese place with a fake Korean marketing and weird fusion food.

I am South Korean, and the employees were all Vietnamese and didn't understand me when I spoke Korean. The menu and the wallpaper on the walls had wrong Korean translations.

The food was definitely not Korean, just adding kimchi doesn't make them Korean. The bibimbap especially had a South East Asian or Chinese rice texture, definitely not gochujang, not enough vegetables, and just tasted like some weird Chinese fusion food. Taco was just a big rice and vegetables on Japanese nori sheets, not Korean seaweed gim for gimbap, and not edible by hand because everything was falling off. The fries were just random sauce with mayo and kimchi in it, by no means it's NOT Korean food.

And all the beers were Vietnamese or Chinese, and didn't see soju or Cass or any Korean drinks. Obvious at this point that because kpop and Korea became popular nowadays that they just wanted to market this restaurant as Korean same as many fake Chinese skincare products posing as Korean products.

And even if you choose the soy-veggie option, they only use the soy alternative meat but still serve the dishes with fried egg, mayonnaise, non-vegetarian/vegan ingredients. What's the point then?

This place is a disgrace to Korean food that is fooling non-Koreans to think these are authentic Korean food, and not even passing as Korean-fusion food, so I'm worried people in Germany will think they actually had Korean food by Koreans. And you should know Berlin has many Vietnamese people and not many Koreans, and other restaurants also are fake Korean restaurants ran by Vietnamese.

If you want to try Korean food, please go elsewhere instead of this Vietnamese place, and ask a Korean friend to verify or get...

I had a terrible incident because of the careless and indifference of the staff in this restaurant. I am allergic to eggs and I asked for eggless beef Bibimbap, I asked them to check if there was egg in the extra sauce they added, I asked 2 times if there was egg in this sauce because the sauce because the sauce looked like mayonnaise to me. Staff angrily and indifferently said there was no egg in the sauce. When I took a single bite of Bibimbap, I completely threw it away because the sauce was eggy. I told the staff that there was an egg in the sauce, they didn't care, I paid for a single bite of food for nothing and left there. They have very rude, angry and careless employees. I'm still vomiting right now and I cannot go to my work tomorrow. The rudest restaurant staff I've ever...

Full of hipsters who obviously have never tried Korean food, because the food here is not Korean. Overpriced, stingy on the meat (5,50€ for some defrosted fries with some crumbs of meat as a decoration). The so-called Kim chi is actually Kim chi flavored sauerkraut and you have to wait for ages because it's full of German hipsters trying to order in English because they think it's cool. The staff seems really friendly sometimes, so I'll give it more than zero stars. The second star is because I'm impressed with the fact they managed to attract tons of rich hipsters by placing some Asian styled cartoons on a box, adding msg to Turkish/American food and selling it as "Korean soul food". Wouldn't be surprised if I find a place selling original Delhi...
