Arirang Restaurant in Berlin

Food tasted very good, pleasantly filling. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

Super tasty, super crowded, ambience more like a train station but uncomplicated Korean great.

Food was very good, service could be better but definitely recommended

Service too slow, too inattentive, ambience non-existent. everything is relatively loveless. unclean... but the food is super delicious! Menus are more likely for more people than described and prices are completely reasonable.

Store completely rocked. From the chaos and dirt in the dining room to the toilets, you wouldn't want to assume it's the kitchen. The marinated beef So Bulgogi on the table grill was a coherent piece of meat (not just for us). There were no typical scissors or at least a knife for cutting. Iceberg lettuce with small insects as a "side dish". For 4 people there was half a quartered baked potato, which was served cold and dry. This has nothing to do with Gamja Jorim (potato pieces with a sweet and spicy sauce and a little sesame). There was also a dollop of kimchi. I was asked if I would like a glass of a Hefeweizen beer. Seriously? The taste was ok. We asked to take the rest of the food with us. A plastic bowl with a piece of aluminum foil was placed on the table without saying a word. Why two stars? Less than one star is not possible. The second star is given out of pity for the poor waiter who was allowed to work the whole place alone, which somewhat excuses the lack of service. That was the only reason there was a tip, which brought a smile to his face for the first time. How beautiful smiling people can be. 5 stars should actually be the maximum rating in star gastronomy, right? So what is it that so many people give maximum points to? Brooding.

Must visit restaurant for korean food lovers. Authentic koreans taste, nice atmosphere, great service, most importantly reasonable price. Highly recommended place in Berlin.

Great affordable Korean cuisine, tried the fried pork, kimchi pancakes and dumplings

The food is very bad, the service attitude of the staff is very poor, the restaurant space is smelly, I will never come back here again.

Really delicious while also affordable !

It was terrible when we ordered a mixed salad. This is a strange dish of chili and sugar, not a mixed salad. The chef at Arirang Restaurant didn't want us to order food. The waiter was not ready to welcome us. I will never come here again. Let's take another look at how the chef prepares the dish

A bowl of kimchi bibimbap that looks like overnight fried rice. It has no appearance and no quality. It costs 11.5 euros. Is it worth it? Got it

At the beginning of the meal, the waiters bring free snacks that are delicious. Not all dishes are delicious, but there are some for spicy food lovers. If you are a student who doesn't have a lot of money and wants something to eat, this is a place for you. Especially if you want to eat something with friends, for example meat. Here you can fry it yourself

Portion is too small for the price and the taste is not as good as it used to be

ATTENTION!!! It was always good – except for one thing. There is a waitress who is EXTREMELY rude and it makes me seriously think about whether I will ever come back. During our visit on January 2nd, it felt like we were intruding on their private space. When we asked for extra rice there was anger, to the point where we decided not to ask anything further. There was no acknowledgment when paying, not even a simple "thank you". She left right after we swiped the card. (without a single word!) I appreciate the positive experience with the male waiter, but the continued rudeness of the female waitress made us decide this was our last visit. As a former waitress, I understand it can be difficult, but this type of behavior loses customers. I'm sure you've lost not only me but many others too. It is disappointing to see the quality of service decreasing because of a single employee. Ps: She's been working there for a while, but she doesn't know what "Sangyopsal" means or what number it is - even I know. By the way, the number is 54. lolllllllll!!!!!!

The weather was nice, so I sat at a table in the back yard of the restaurant, but there were rats running around on cigarette butts everywhere, and flies flying around in swarms on the outdoor pillars, but next to me, another table was eating without even noticing it, and the serving staff were unfriendly. And all the side dishes and kimchi. This Korean restaurant is so dishonest and skinny that it looks like someone just brought you leftovers. It's the worst. As expected, this place is run by a Chinese person imitating Korean food. … see more

Very good, authentic food. Simple, pleasant atmosphere. You feel like you're in Korea. Friendly service.

The weather was nice, so I sat at a table in the back yard of the restaurant, but there were rats running around smoking cigarettes everywhere, and flies flying around in swarms around the outdoor pillars. At another table next to me, people were eating without noticing it, and the serving staff were unfriendly. The side dishes and kimchi are all bland and skinny and look like someone brought out leftovers for them. This Korean restaurant is truly the worst. As expected, it is run by dirty Chinese who imitate Korean food.

Amazing authentic food like in Korea! Recommended to everyone! Especially chicken with garlic!

Food is so good and really affordable. Dol sot bibimbap is the best I’ve had in Europe. Would strongly recommend for authentic delicious Korean bites

I went there because it was a Korean restaurant... well... it turned out to be a restaurant run by ethnic Koreans. Employees speak Chinese among themselves. The bibimbap was edible, but I'm not sure about the other dishes. You have to buy water to drink it, but it comes in a glass, but it was a bit fishy, ​​probably because it came from the glass.

Super tasty and authentic food. The ambience doesnt look fancy, but dont got fooled by it. Absolutely worth it.

Authentic cuisine. Prices very good.

I've never eaten Korean before, but I was very pleasantly surprised. A friend recommended the restaurant to me and we visited it together. The occupancy of the tables was a little higher, but luckily we were able to get a table. Therefore, I recommend not coming late or making a reservation if necessary. The restaurant looked very inconspicuous from the outside, but the inside was pleasant and the atmosphere was lively. We recommend!

Food is delicious but card payment only from 50€, which is not communicated beforehand

We always enjoy going to Arirang and have never been disappointed.

It's just an amazing place, I come here very often and it's always good. They don't play around, good food, delivered quickly. The food is everything there, no distracting decorations, no fancy looking nothing. Just good food and nice people.

This is perhaps one of the best places to get Korean food in Berlin. Arirang is very popular among locals, and it's definitely worth visiting.

Solid food and friendly staff, a man and an older lady. The indoor area feels more like a cafeteria, but the outdoor area is quite pleasant. Therefore I cannot share the negative reviews I have read here.

The food was decent, nothing to write home about. The spicy squid was seasoned well, however the squid was very mushy as it was in the freezer way too long. The galbi tang could use more seasoning, the tangsuyuk has no veggies, but they put a lot of chopped garlic in the dish. Note that the place is not run by Koreans, but the food was decent. One thing that bothered me a lot was the workers taking smoke break every five minutes, then serving the clients. They should be more mindful.

Arirang is not what we imagine a hip Korean restaurant to be today, but Korean dishes were served here when hardly anyone in Berlin knew what kimchi was. Arirang has the charm of a school gymnasium that has been equipped with a cafeteria, but the cuisine is simply good and the service staff does their best... For me, Arirang is still a top address for Korean BBQ

The kimchi pancake and kimchi soup are delicious!

It used to be good, but now it's just overcrowded, not much food for the price, busy waiters, but fortunately young Koreans, which contributes to the authenticity of the shop. The prices from almost 8 years ago can no longer be compared with today. However, this is also due to the generally increasing costs. Nevertheless, great care is now being taken to be as profitable as possible. This becomes apparent when on a weekend only one waitress is responsible for the large room with an outdoor area until before 6 p.m. and at the same time tries to keep up with the drinks. Nine of us sat there and observed that the kitchen also helped out. When we asked, we learned that this understaffing is normal. As a larger group, we received 2x starters - 8 small bowls with manageable contents. When asked whether a few more bowls might be possible, the response was very reluctant. The wait for drinks was longer than 25 minutes, the food was served and was already lukewarm when cutlery was added. If you don't draw attention to yourself or take the initiative, you should be patient and not very hungry. In terms of portion size, the food was, well, tasty. In the picture you can see the current size of a BBQ with beef and sweet potato glass noodles.

Very authentic. One of my favorite Korean restaurants in Berlin.

The food quality was really not that good and halfway through the meal one of the waiters just turned off the stove in front of us without saying anything!! Very disappointed!

arirang had always been my top resto to go to with friends but last week this waitress (the one with long dark hair and thick false eyelashes) served us a really small portion of the food we always get, i even confronted her and she just brushed it off plus the spoiled kimchi side dish they served us.better go to the one in bornholmer, better service and better food portions

The quality is ok tho, was better the years before

As much as we love the food we were disappointed with 2 of the male staff during our visit. We were seated and asked for the menu but the staff one after another told us to wait. As we waited patiently these TWO MALE STAFF served the menu to the new incoming customers. Worst these new customers have been already in the middle of their meal and we’re still not being served the menu. 3 batches of customers! I hope it’s not them being racist, but the white people are being served first. It’s dissatisfying!

The staff are very friendly, but only speak English and Korean. Unfortunately I don't like the food. Bibimbap was ok, but a bit dry. Chicken was too soft with sauce directly on it, so it's better to leave it separate. And I have a feeling that I'm eating tapioca flour, not chicken. Side dishes were just delicious 😋

The shop is a bit hidden but definitely worth a visit! You get a few side dishes with the gas cooker, but you should definitely order rice with it. The food tastes really excellent! I can especially recommend the ketchup chicken!

The food is good , generous portions and fair pricing. The ambience is frankly non existing with green walls and blue black chairs . They have an indoor coutyard which is a better place for enjoying korean grills in summer.

Food authentic and good. But staff unfriendly and not very attentive. Yeast beer without a glass. Card payment only from 50 euros. You had to go and withdraw cash.

Lunch is perfect here. You can usually find a seat, are served quickly, the food comes quickly and there are delicious appetizers for free. The ambience leaves a lot to be desired, but that's not what matters to me during my lunch break.

Low key place, good food, always busy!

Service great, food good, atmosphere different, but somehow again...? Nice place to be to enjoy good food with friends or family. Just try it out, you won't regret it.

Best best BEST Korean restaurant I have been in continental Europe. Comparable to the food I had in South Korea. Been here so many times, every single time was amazing. My favorite dining spot in Berlin. The prices are fair, the service is fast and the dishes are amazing. We usually go for so-bulgogi which gets served at lightning speed along with a good selection of side dishes. We have also occasionally order budae-jigae, kimchi-jigae, yangnyeom chicken, bibimbap, mandu and various stir fry dishes. They never disappoint. They also have Korean beer (cass) The only problem is that sometimes they are noticeably a bit short on staff. Still an amazing place, definitely recommended.

Arirang is my top Korean restaurant. Compared to other Korean restaurants in Berlin, Arirang may not be visually appealing, but the food there is delicious. I ordered the standard So-bulgogi grill and yangnyeom chicken for 3 people. Including drinks, it came to 52 euros (for 3 people). The only thing that annoys me is those handwritten bills haha. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis: 10/10

The space is very spacious and the waiter is very friendly. Although we did not have a reservation, we were seated quickly. We were also recommended to have seafood noodles. Although it was a bit spicy, the overall taste was very good and the price/performance ratio was very high. It is worth a try.

We definitely enjoyed our meal. The atmosphere was like a Korean drinking house. The Spicy Squid was delicious, however it wasn’t spicy at all. But I learned that you can ask for anything extra spicy. The portion size was prefect and it contained lots of vegetables and squid. The texture was perfect. I just wish the dish was more spicy. We also shared seafood pancake. It wasn’t as good as the original in Korean version. It needed more veggies and more seafood. But other than that it was great. We definitely will return. Overall a very positive and happy experience.

At first impression the restaurant seems simple. But the food is really tasty and the staff is very friendly. I don't think it's ideal for smaller or picky children, but if you're an adult who wants to eat Korean food, you can definitely do so there.

The portion size is ok and the price is reasonable. The ventilation of this restaurant is better than other restaurants with grills. There are more people during dinner time, so you have to wait longer.

The two of us went to the store at the weekend to try something new, but we would have preferred to stay at home The food was tasty and there was nothing to complain about, but the service leaves a lot to be desired and the "restaurant" is more like a canteen where you can come to lunch for 15 minutes -No need to repeat-

Unfortunatley this place has turned for the worst. It used to be a great place to have korean bbq, but after todays visit, I feel sick to have been there. The food was obviously canned and the service was terrible. In the end they even tried to overcharge me.

Beware of rip-offs! Food: The duck meat consisted of 90% fat (white, wobbly mass) and was served with a sweet and sour sauce, similar to a ready-made sauce from a bag. The squid with vegetables was in a pool of fat, the seafood soup was mostly coarsely chopped onions and canned fish. In summary - disgusting. Drinks: The jujube tea was thin and watery. The Hefeweizen was served without a glass. The glass was only refilled after asking twice. Ambience: The unadorned space is more like a hall. The dirty, tattered menu is uninviting. Bill: To make matters worse, the waitress miscalculated by 7.00 euros in your favor. When paying, the waitress quickly pocketed the bill. So never again. There are many good Korean restaurants in Berlin!

The most Korean restaurant that I have been in Berlin; at least judging from what I see in the Korean series. The service was excellent, they were very friendly and helpful, the food was amazing, I loved the beef bbq, so tasty. I will definitely go back. The prices are also great. And of course you can pay by card.

It's just ridiculous that they don't accept cards unde 50 Euros.

Unfortunately there is no good rating from me The atmosphere is like a train station hall, the service was unfriendly, the food was relatively good. The beer was served without a glass, because it was too hot and the beer overflowed from the bottle. Card payment only from 50 euros. I didn't like it here.

I've always been a regular customer of this branch only because of the taste of the foods here. I never doubt any dishes that they serve, it's always tasty and on point! Good price and fair portions also. But today, i've experienced the worst service ever from the staff. In terms of service, if i have the option to put "ZERO" OR NO STAR AT ALL, i would like to take that option. Not friendly at all, not even smiling, and the attitude of all the staffs are so arrogant. I can understand, it's tiring working in gastronomy but when you work in this field, the Quality of the service is also one important factor to keep the customer coming back to your restaurant. I hope their staff can get trained on how to give a good service to the customer. It's just too sad, when the taste of the foods are good but the service from the staff is so bad

I got to know new flavors and tried very interesting grill variations 😋

We've been back for a year. The food tasted better, but the atmosphere was so dark and not that clean in my opinion. There were only 2 waiters, so perhaps they were under pressure that they could hardly smile.

Great food. Zero Service! They live in 1400. No card payment because they have to pay 1% fee for the service. Really ridiculous

The food is so delicious. It’s the same as Korea!

For korean bbq it has a very bad ventilation and you’ll really stink after. But foods and the side dishes are always excellent. It is salty enough, just right. You can add rice and side dishes too.

Authentic Korean, street food, not fancy at all

Delicious, delicious, delicious 😋

Einfach gehaltenes Restaurant. Kein Schnickschnack. Dafür Essen frisch und OHNE Konservierungsmittel. Für uns völlig ausreichend. Ambiente leider etwas runtergekommen. Schneller und freundlicher Service. Sind sehr zufrieden.

Essen: große Portionen und suuuuuuper lecker. Service: sehr guter Service, Tische waren sauber, schnelle Bestellung und schnell serviert. Ambiente: seeeehr schlichte Innenausstattung und sieht wirklich sehr langweilig aus 😄. Aber hey, ich bin dort gewesen um zu essen und nicht die Wände anzuschauen. Also es ist verbesserungswürdig aber kein Muss. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder. Kuss geht raus! ❤️

immer gut schmeckt und sehr authentisch. Sehr empfohlen!

In dem koreanischen Restaurant erlebte ich eine kulinarische Reise der Extraklasse. Die Vielfalt an authentischen Gerichten beeindruckte mich, und die Geschmacksexplosionen waren einfach unvergleichlich. Das Ambiente vermittelte eine angenehme Atmosphäre, die meinen Besuch zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis machte. Sehr empfehlenswert für alle, die echte koreanische Küche in einem wundervollen Umfeld genießen möchten! 🤩

추운날 따뜻한 음식 좋았어요. 순두부찌개는 짬뽕 맛이 나는거 같았지만 맛있게 먹었어요.

We had an extremely strange “korean hot pot”, which consisted of spam, instant noodles, and onions in water…which costed 32 euros. Strange and disappointing :(

这家店其实经常光顾的，今天没有预约过来，女服务员叫我等一下，然后有位置就叫我们，有一个位置，预约的人要20:00到，我们18:11到店的，差不多2h，我们是可以吃完的，大概18:50，女服务员来告诉我们，我们需要结账走人了，原因是那位预约20:00的顾客来了，但是我有问那个顾客，他说他没有预定跟我们一样的，其实旁边有好多空座位的，对于我来说，很失望的经历，周末想要吃饭放松一下，结果40分钟点餐到吃饭结束，可能下次不会再来了。如果没有位置其实可以拒绝我们，我们可以去其他饭店吃饭。

Sehr leckere und große Portionen von denen man definitiv satt wird! Nette Bedienungen und Atmosphäre, man fühlt sich nicht gehetzt oder gedrängelt. Insgesamt sehr guter Eindruck. Gerne wieder!

Overall experience is 5/5. The ambience was mediocre but Korean Street Food like. The prices are really moderate compared to Berlin street food standards. The grill and soup items tasted really fresh and the service was above and beyond. I would recommend eating out here again.

Die Bedienung war echt unfreundlich beim letzten Mal. Vielleicht wäre es gut die Kellnerin zu wechseln. Shocked.

Authentisch und sehr lecker! Kartenzahlung ab 50€ möglich. Der Laden war sehr gut besucht aber trotzdem ruhig, man konnte sich in normaler Lautstärke unterhalten.

Ich muss nach meinem heutigen Besuch im Seoul Garden wirklich sagen,ein großer Unterschied.Arirang ist vielleicht äußerlich nicht so ansehnlich,aber das Essen ist immer super gewesen!!!!Selbst der Service ist noch viel besser als im Seoul Garden.Immer freundlich!!!Wir kommen nur noch zu Euch!!!!!Macht weiter so 👏 👏👏

Delicious food, for a good price. Generous portion sizes. Comes with side dishes and rice for no extra charge. We had the O Jing Eo Bul bulgogi €30, Kimchi Jeon Gol €30 and a large bottle of coke €5.50. We were with three people and could not finish the food, which makes sense because the portion size for each meal was 2 people, so 4 in total. Really delicious authentic Korean food, good service.

Sooo tasty, loved it and recommend

Das Personal war erstaunlich unfreundlich und unmotiviert. Noch nie so einen lustlosen und unhöflichen Service erlebt. Das Essen ist sehr salzig und es nimmt immer weiter an Qualität und Quantität ab.

Leckeres Essen zu wirklich fairem Preis und guter Portionsgröße. Ambiente etwas kühl und in die Jahre gekommen, aber vollkommen in Ordnung. Etwas ärgerlich ist dass Kartenzahlung erst ab 50€ möglich ist.

Food is good for the price but service is the worst. If it's full it will take them half an hour to even notice you. You have to literally run after your order.. It's so annoying. Update (2023) - It's better now

Unlimited rice snd sidesh😁 Very delicious foods

Price performance ratio is amazing. I regularly go there and they never disappointed me. The serve Kass bottled beer. Yimin tea was delicious too.

Die Kellerin mit schwarze T shirt ist unhöflich und das Essen ist zu salzig.

Ich bin schon seit jahren immerwieder hier. Meine familie und ich lieben es. Und hey! Wehe ihr habt kein mango eis beim nächsten mal! :)

Waren jetzt schon öfter dort und kommen immer gerne wieder. Das Essen selber zuzubereiten auf einem kleinen Grill macht einfach Spaß und macht das Essen zu einem Erlebnis. Das Ambiente ist eher unschön, im Sommer sitzen wir lieber draußen.

Authentisches leckeres Essen, schneller Service. Nicht zu teuer.

Korean food at presumably its best, given that the vast majority of customers are Korean. While I can't compare what we ate to what is considered good in Seoul, I can say that everything that was served was absolutely delicious. An authentic and fun place that puts the Far East on the doorsteps of Berlin. Probably not the place to go if you are on your own, but for a group or family outing, you can't go wrong. Reservations, especially on weekends, are highly recommended. The street sign is not written in the Latin alphabet, and the restaurant is set back from the sidewalk, so focus on the 194 Uhlandstr. street address, otherwise you might just walk by this hidden gem.

Essen sehr gut! Ambiente sieht etwas einfach aus. Trotzdem alles Top

It's a bit misleading to only see Chinese staff working in a so-called Korean restaurant. We liked parts of the food but the service was shocking. One of the two waiters relaxing behind the counter with his drinks, completely desinterested and unfortunately very visible to the guests, was staring at his mobile phone almost constantly, typing, then blowing his obviously over-full nose into his handkerchief directly into the eating area. He then carried a plate over to our table, with his finger on the food. Simply disgusting. I was hoping for homemade Korean food, would not recommend to go there with Korean friends or with colleagues.

Food is good. Sometimes the service is bad. They even will say that they do not speak german or english... *cough* lie *cough*(past review, no clue now)

Das war aber enttäuschende Erfahrungen hier. Das Essen war schön für Garnitur aber zu salzig. Die Mitarbeitern sind schade unfreundlich u nicht so hervorkommend. Aber er hat sehr schön das Essen eingepackt, deswegen gab ich 3 Sterne für Service. Das war erste Mal , dass ich unzufrieden mit einem Restaurant war. Tut mir sehr leid 🥲

Immer wieder einen Besuch wert!

第一次吃的体验很好，很满意，但是今天来吃感到十分失望，首先泡菜有一股酸味，闻起来有些臭，送的韩式生菜白砂糖都没拌开，很甜。然后付钱的时候我们被告知无法刷卡，但是之前来吃都是可以刷卡的。最离谱的是，在我们付完钱以后，被员工告知额外多要的一盘生菜要加3欧，菜单上也没有写要加三欧啊，在柏林不同的阿里郎吃了5-6次了，从来没遇到过这种情况，接待的服务员德语，英语，中文都无法正常交流，只问我们讨要三块钱，非常不好的体验！

Das Essen im Arirang ist wirklich sehr lecker. Zu dem Grillgericht bekommt man mehrere Seitegerichte und kann diese auch jeweils nachfüllen lassen. Man grillt sein Essen selbst am Tisch und dementsprechend auch etwas zu tun:) Das Restaurant ist recht schlicht gehalten, hat aber auch draußen Sitzmöglichkeiten. Leider ist das Personal meistens ziemlich überfordert, so dass das Nachbestellen einzelner Komponenten oft nicht funktioniert. Daher ziehe ich auch einen Stern ab. Ansonsten rein das Essen ist wirklich sehr gut.

Korea orginal. Fast nur koreanische Gäste. Zum satt werden.

Очень вкусная еда, действительно, по вкусу похожа на ту, что подают в Корее. Атмосфера тоже напоминает корейские заведения благодаря большому количеству этнических корейцев. Сервис хороший, сотрудники кафе очень приятные и вежливые. Порции нормальные и цены соответствующие

Смачне барбекю, заглядаємо вже вдруге, куштували зі свининою, зі світ чілі курятиною, а наступного разу спробуємо з яловичиною!

Out of all the Korean restaurants I've tried in Berlin, so far this is the best for me! The food delicious, the prices are also really good! And for me it feels somehow local and authentic even though I haven't hd the chance to go to Korea yet, i feel like this place is more authentic compared with the other ones I've been to in Berlin! I highly recommend this place! Really delicious!

Das Essen war ok. Meine Erwartung war höher. Tokbokki Hotpod hat mir leider nicht gut überzeugt.
