MiMi - Korean BBQ — Restaurant in Munich

The place: colorful, square tables with Korean writing on them are pretty cool. So is the wall containing drawings of some of the ingredients they serve. I’d say it look jovial, and there were mostly younger people eating there.

The food: tasty and filling. Mine was mildly spicy (I would have hoped for more but I didn’t know what to expect) and the chicken had some cartilage pieces, but it didn’t take away from the dish. Overall I found it comforting and the portion made me quite full. My wife enjoyed her bibimbap and also hoped for more spice. The dishes come with a lot of sides served separately, and the table did get a little cramped. For dessert they offered a chocolate tarte which resembles an Argentinian alfajor. Fluffy! Drinks are on the pricy side.

The service: they have an online system through which orders are placed, which is very very convenient. A few odd items were not translated, though, but they have a paper menu you can use to match if need be. The digital menu does contain photos for those wondering what they will get. Service-wise they were short staffed for the day, which looks like the norm in Munich given the labor shortage. They were apologetic about it, but to be honest we didn’t notice and weren’t in any kind of a hurry. Nothing wrong there really. We didn’t feel like we had to wait long for the food at all. The thing is, since they have the online system, dishes won’t come in any particular order. We received dessert first, then mains, then appetizers. Just be ready for that and all...

This cute little Korean restaurant is a real find. Stepping inside, you're greeted by a charming interior with bright red chairs, gold tables, and built-in table grills that set the mood for a fun dining experience.

We had the Bulgogi menu, which included thin slices of beef marinated in a fragrant sesame-soy sauce, served sizzling hot with rice, seaweed, two sides, and a warming kimchi soup. The beef was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The chef went a little heavy on the garlic, so this dish might not be quite yours if you're not a garlic fan.

We also tried the seafood pancake, which was perfectly crispy and topped with a generous amount of shrimp, paired with a tasty umami dipping sauce - a definite highlight!

Service was friendly and efficient, and the food arrived quickly. The generous portion sizes easily justify the slightly higher prices.

Come here for delicious, satisfying Korean food in a lovely setting - you won’t be...

We only had shaved ice cream and coffee, so I can't speak about the other dishes. The shaved ice cream is completely overpriced, and the taste sadly is quite watery. 10 euro (the cheapest option) for a bowl - even if you share, it's still not worth it. The service, well... we went there on a Friday afternoon, and we were served by a man wearing completely and utterly filthy clothes! It was disgusting. For a second, I actually wondered if he REALLY works there or if it's just a rando homeless man who pretends to work there. I don't know what he has been doing beforehand - rolling in a mud? The whole experience was so disappointing that I will definitely not come back. Of course, I'm just a one customer, so the owner doesn't have to care. Which is fine. I'm only sharing my opinion. This place might have some potential, but please present yourself elegantly or at least CLEAN, then high prices make a...
