We ate for lunch in this restaurant. The ambiente is nice and the korean music is not too loud in the background. So talking and enjoying your stay is easy. The price is more in the upper segment but appropriate for the servings provided. For lunch we had the soy garlic boneless chicken, japchae, dolsot bibimbap and a korean cheesedog. We were a group of 4 adults and one child. The ordered food was good enough to share and make us full(asian family). The chicken pieces are quite big. So everyone got one big chicken piece that was almost 100g and some noodles and rice. I ate the cheesedog myself and it is a sweet and cheesy donut, if I would describe it. The ketchup together with the sugar gave it a nice taste. For me it was more of a dessert than a starter but very delicious. If you like donuts it is a must try. All in all we had a nice experience here with good food. We would have also ordered a bingsu shaved ice dessert but unfortunately it was not available due to being sold out. A good korean restaurant that i can warmly recommend.

Had dumplings with kimchi and pork, boneless fried chicken with spicy and garlic sauce, and kimchi vegetable pancake. Well, personally I had lots of Korean food back in my country, so for me all the foods we had tonight were just okay for me. However, my boyfriend quite likes the fried chicken and pancake and the restaurant was full, so I think it’s still worthy to try. The portion of the pancake and fried chicken were very big. It will be much better that there is the option of half portion for those dishes. Otherwise, for two people those two cuisines were a bit too much and after having half of the meal, you would start to feel bored of the flavor. We couldn’t really finish them.

The only reason I'm only giving this four stars instead of five, is that I've eaten even better in Korea. I was with a large group of friends from my Korean class, and we all sat at a long table. We ordered various items on the menu and shared them. It was all delicious - crispy kimchi and vegetable pancakes, crunchy fried chicken, savory dumplings, and more. Everything was delicious! This is a trendy restaurant that would appeal to K-pop and K-drama fans. I can imagine a K-pop star walking in here after a concert for a chimaek (fried chicken and beer) and leaving, satisfied, after a great evening.

Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist hier eine absolute Frechheit. Man hätte ahnen müssen, dass hier was nicht ganz Koscher ist, wenn das Restaurant für 5-Sterne Bewertungen mit Gratissocken ködert.

24€ für "So Bulgogi" was aus dem billigsten Fleisch besteht (vermutlich Formfleisch - hat nämlich starke Ähnlichkeit zu dem Rindfleisch von Subway: weich, wenig Textur, wirkt leicht schwammig, als wurde mit Zusätzen das Fleisch gestreckt). Die Anrichtung des Gerichts schindet Eindruck, da es noch bruzelt und zischt wenn es auf der heißen Platte an den Platz gebracht und serviert wird. Ein genauerer Blick auf den Teller, lässt aber schon schlimmes erahnen. Die Fleischmenge war sehr bescheiden. Dafür gab es ordentlich geschredderten Kohl als Garnitur (was bei all dem fett ein willkommende "frische" Abwechslung war). Und die Zubereitung? Mit Mehl oder Stärke bestäubt und anschließend absolut tot FRITTIERT. Das Fleisch war klumpig, fettig und einfach minderwertig. Ich war schon bei mehreren authentischen koreanischen Restaurants und noch nie habe ich solch eine Zubereitung gesehen. Keine Spur von hochwertigen und dünn geschnittenen zarten Rindfleisch was, in der für Bulgogi geschmacklich typischen Soße vermengt und relativ kurz angebraten wird. Dieses Erzeugnis sollte man als Bulgogi Verbrechen bezeichnen.

Wir hatten zudem noch "Kimchi Pajeon" was kein flacher runder teigiger Pfannkuchen am Stück war, sondern eher frittierte Klumpen. Die Portion wirkte auf dem großen Teller zunächst sehr großzügig aber die Enttäuschung folgte nachdem man ein paar Stücke gegessen hat. Zunächst freut man sich über die Knusprigkeit. Aber dann stellt man schnell fest dass kaum Kimchi vorhanden ist aber reichlich groß geschnitten Stücke Lauch/Frühlingszwiebeln. Es war eher in Teig frittierte Frühlingszwiebeln mit hier und da ein wenig Kimchi. Geschmacklich war es ok, aber es war sehr fettig und wirkte auch wie eine Schummelei: Wenig Gemüse mit viel fett triefendem "Teig". Wohlgemerkt, erwartet keine ordentliche feste Teigmasse sondern eher dünne, knusprige Teigkruste. Eine kleine Schüssel Reis gab es noch dazu, welches auch nicht mit Qualität glänzen kann. Würde mich nicht wundern wenn hier der billigste Reis gekauft wird. Über alle Gerichte hinweg hat man das Gefühl dass mit möglichst wenig, möglichst viel Geld rausgeschlagen wird.

Wir hatten zudem noch die Chicken Wings. Diese waren geschmacklich ok. Man kann jedoch auch nicht viel falsch machen, wenn man vermutlich TK-Hähnchen, welches schon fertig geliefert wird, nur noch in die Fritteuse schmeißen muss. Bei der anderen Sorte wird noch zusätzlich in Marinade, geschwenkt, die wohl auch schon fertig geliefert wird. Moment! Man kann doch was falsch machen: Das ganze einfach zu lange in der Fritteuse lassen, damit das Fleisch ein wenig zu trocken ist und die Panade ein wenig mehr mit fett durchzogen ist. Dazu gab es noch Pommes, die auch ein deut zu lange frittiert wurde.

Was war gut? Der Yuja-Tee und die Bedienung. Diese war sehr freundlich und immer zügig zur Stelle. Als Beilage wurden noch kleine Schälchen Gurken-Kimchi und normales Kimchi gereicht - diese waren geschmacklich ok.

Insgesamt haben wir über 70€ ausgegeben was schon an Wucher grenzt, wenn man die minderwertige Qualität und diese absolut lieblose und schlechte Zubereitung bedenkt. Es waren übrigens nicht viele weitere Kunden da, also kann man auch nicht mit Stress auf Grund von einem großen Aufkommen argumentieren.

Beim Ambiente müssen auch Abstriche gemacht werden, weil das Lokal beim betreten schon relativ stark nach Frittierfett riecht und eine schlechte Luftzirkulation herrscht. Die Soundanlage war alles andere als angenehm für die Ohren, weil die Klangqualität vergleichbar mit Handy Lautsprechern war.

Es tut mir sehr Leid, dass diese Rezension so negativ ausfällt. Bitte ziehen Sie Ihre Kunden nicht mit so einer schlechten Qualität so dreist über den Tisch. In diesem Restaurant findet sich kein Funken Liebe für die...

If you’re craving a trip to Korea without leaving your seat, this restaurant is a must-visit. We started with the gunmandu, crispy golden dumplings packed with flavor, each bite a perfect balance of texture and taste. Then came the Korean Fried Chicken—juicy, crunchy, and coated in a sauce so addictive it could easily be bottled and sold as happiness.

But the crown jewel? The dolsot bibimbap. Watching the rice sizzle in the hot stone bowl as we mixed in the vibrant medley of veggies and the luscious gochujang sauce was an experience in itself. Every bite was a harmonious blend of bold flavors, smoky undertones, and comforting warmth.

The service was impeccable, the ambiance cozy yet modern, and every dish was a love letter to authentic Korean cuisine. Highly recommended for foodies and...
