Gangnamstyle Korean BBQ • Bulgogi • Bar in Köln

If you're worried about the agony of grilling, it's not yours

The store was so hectic and the staff were not well trained, so everything from ordering food to setting up and cooking took a really long time. I didn't even know how to change the butane gas, so it was really dangerous, but when I asked to call another employee, I was completely embarrassed when the employee said no and couldn't even set it up. At the time, the other reservation team couldn't get in, so they waited outside for a long time and ended up getting angry, but I don't think there was any need to come here and eat Korean food. The meat smells and the rice is very tough. Ah... it was such a waste of time and money.

Very fine meat, good vegetables. Of course you stink extremely since everyone at the table is frying.

We are regulars at this restaurant and have always enjoyed the food, it is consistently good. However, we repeatedly had problems with an employee named Mr. KAMAL. During our last visit, my aunt - who was visiting from abroad and doesn't speak German - told him she would give a €3 tip for a €120.70 food bill. Nevertheless, without her understanding, he entered a €9 tip into the card reader, taking advantage of the language barrier. It's not the first time he's pressured us to tip more. This is very disappointing and unprofessional. We hope the management will take this seriously.

We would have liked to have been guests at Gangnam Style again today. We really enjoyed the food (chicken, especially teriyaki mayo) and the rosé tteokbokki last time. Service was very friendly. Well...The gentleman at reception/seating today neither greeted us nor communicated clearly in any other way. Everything was probably reserved or fully booked, although there were many free tables visible at the time. But of course, it could be that in 20/30 minutes everything will be full with reservations from 6 p.m. This could have been communicated much friendlier and more clearly. But the gentleman was more interested in playing with the paper in his hand. We then went to the Downtowner around the corner. 😉 There is always friendly service and very good food.

Despite having a reservation, I couldn't get a table! The waiter was obviously overwhelmed.

The staff was extremely rude, which ruined my mood even before the food arrived. The food itself was mediocre, and it feels like this place only survives due to the lack of Korean restaurants in Cologne. The atmosphere was casual and not bad, but overall it was an unpleasant experience and I wouldn’t want to come back. The staff’s attitude was very rude, so I felt bad even before eating the food. The food wasn’t that great either, and since there aren’t many Korean restaurants in Cologne, it feels like they’re still operating. The atmosphere was casual and not bad, but it was an unpleasant experience that I wouldn’t want to visit again.

The amount of meat for the grill was less than expected. The seasoned chicken was just too salty. Rice was not included in the meat set and I had to pay 2 euros. I also had to pay 3 euros for chicken radish. Kimchi was not served as a side dish. Still, the hall manager was friendly.

Nothing Korean about this place. Overpriced with below average food quality.

Good place to have Korean BBQ, nice meat mixes. Works like in Korea, with a bell on the table. The Korean fried chicken is really great. The only weird thing was that the gas bottle was really in an awkward place, which makes you sit a bit strangely at the table. In addition, the tongs to fry the meat are really too short, so you really have to use a lot of force. Good price quality!

The restaurant is cramped and filled with smoke and the smell of burning oil. Your clothes smell terrible after visiting this restaurant. The service isn't polite. The price-performance ratio isn't right.

First time at Korean BBQ – and I was immediately impressed! The concept? Like raclette, only Korean and without cheese. Perfect for meat lovers, less so for vegetarians and vegans (grilled vegetables just don't fill you up!). The best part: You do the grilling yourself! The table has a built-in grill, the meat is served, the grill is turned on – and off you go. If you're unsure, just look at the screens with grilling instructions. Brilliant! One small drawback: A little more oil and salt would have been good, ideally right on the table. But no matter – it was a fantastic experience! The only catch: After the meal, you smell like you've grilled yourself. So, don't make any big plans for afterward!

A really nice place, has a nice ambiance. Easy to order options, has a decent variety of options for selection. The food is really delicious as well as the experience for BBQ-ing yourself makes it really nice time to spend with your friends/family. A reservation shall definitely be done considering the popularity of this place.

Rarely eaten so chaotically, disorganized with 3 adults and 1 child. Side dishes and oil only came when the meat was already on the grill. 90% of the staff spoke neither German nor English. We paid €180, the exhaust air is really bad, it blows on your neck, but you're completely in the haze. All the clothes smell like you've been frying in the kitchen for hours. Wiring simply hangs under the table. The taste was okay.

The restaurant's good reviews are due to the general lack of knowledge about Korean BBQ. A pile of overpriced meat on the table, a few overpriced vegetables, and the Korean BBQ is ready. This is the “Gangnam style”. This has as much to do with Korean BBQ as Santa Claus has with Easter. And guys, buy a set of clothes for €5 at KIK before visiting. The store has no exhaust ventilation, so you can simply throw away the cheap clothes after a visit. No washing machine can get the smell out. 😅

Staff hardly speaks German. NOT barrier-free despite telephone inquiries! Stairs at the entrance, no ramp, no elevator. Wheelchair users have no chance. Miserable exhaust air. The whole store was enveloped in thick smoke. Food was good.

You can expect a nice, real Korean restaurant and then you will be entertained with popular music throughout the evening! Far from Korean flair. Far too overpriced for the fact that the food was rather average, almost everything went back.

Service didn't exactly convince us with its friendliness, but the food and the furnishings of the restaurant are absolutely great. You can't complain about the price either. BBQ for 2 people for 46 euros is really okay!

We had a reservation for a table. When we arrived, we were told that the table would be ready in 10 minutes. The 10 minutes turned into 30 minutes in which we had to keep asking the "manager" about it (we had to ask for four times and he still was surprised every time we ask and didn’t recognize us). In the meantime, walk-in customers were accepted and assigned to tables. The manager in particular (recognizable by his proudly worn name tag) is just extremely unfriendly and overwhelmed. When we got to the table, we were only referred to the digital menu. The grill was not turned on, no further explanations, nothing... Overall, chaos reigned. You could hear discussions at almost every other table because food was not brought or was brought incorrectly, etc. The focus here again was the manager, who was hard to beat in terms of unfriendliness towards his customers. Not a pleasant atmosphere for an evening. Our meat was OK. But for €60 per person (and we only had one drink each) you can eat better in other restaurants. After the disappointment, I wouldn't go there again. As other reviews have already made clear, I too cannot understand the overall very good rating based on our experience. Worst experience with a restaurant I ever had.

Eating bland, like fast food (had fried chicken) - taste ok. Organization of the restaurant is poor. Waited 25 minutes for a reserved table (who plans like that?) Our bus boy tried very hard and that's why he got the 1 star. I wouldn't go there again and wouldn't recommend it. After that, it's best not to go anywhere else because you smell like fried meat from top to bottom...😑

The food was very good and there was quite a variety, the fact that you can cook your own food in the center of the table is very good. The service was a little confusing since it is digital so you are asked to scan a QR code to order and pay. The place is very well decorated with Korean music and plants.

Their fried chicken is excellent, I have eaten there and also taken home.

Rarely have I experienced such a poor price-performance ratio. Paid 180 euros for 3 people for a bottle of water, an iced tea per person, 3 starters that all came from the freezer, and a barbecue for 2 people (which the three of us shared) that was really not good. We probably just didn't grill it very well, but we also didn't get much instruction. Never again for 60 euros per person!

It tastes good and cooking yourself is fun. It's an experience, but for the price I wouldn't do it again.

I had a great experience at this Korean restaurant. The atmosphere is calm and cozy – perfect for relaxing and enjoying good food. I was particularly impressed by the ordering system: you simply scan a QR code at the table, order and pay directly via your cell phone. This is not only practical, but also saves a lot of time. The food was served quickly and was simply delicious. The portions are very generous - I couldn't finish all of mine and ordered the rest to go. The staff is very friendly and speaks some German and English. They try very hard to provide guests with the best possible service. An absolutely recommended restaurant. I'd love to come back!

I absolutely cannot understand the good reviews. Why only one star? We ordered this BBQ menu for 2 and the Korean BBQ Fried Chicken. This grill plate was a disgrace. On it there were counted 2 mushrooms, 2 pepper slices, 2 dried carrot slices. The disks were so dried out that they were as flexible as rubber. What little meat there was was already oxidized when it arrived on the table - together with the dried-out rubber carrots and the stingy pieces of vegetables, it was a ridiculous sight. 1 mushroom, a slice of pepper and 1 slice of carrot per person. The platter that was ordered for 2 people is perhaps enough for half a person. And the Korean BBQ Fried Chicken with 8 pieces of fries was served cold. The meat was dry and tasteless despite the spicy sweet sour sauce. Charging €75 for both dishes is theft. The service was visibly annoyed and unfriendly. There was thick smoke in the restaurant itself and poor ventilation. The fat grill machinery under the tables made it very difficult to sit at one of the chairs at the table. The poor and disappointing quality of the dishes alone is more than enough reason to only give one star. But in addition to the bad food and the overpriced, the service also made us feel unwanted because of its unfriendliness. Never again.

The quality of the food was top, but extremely expensive. There were 5 of us and we had reserved in advance. When we came in the waiter was overwhelmed, it seemed as if they only had one table that could accommodate so many people and as if it didn't matter whether we had reserved or not. Communication was exclusively in broken English and the waiter was consistently overwhelmed. We were served 2 dishes that we hadn't ordered (which we didn't notice at first since it was our first experience with such food). Many things that were ordered were forgotten and only finally served when asked. The dishes we didn't order, which we then ate, cost us an additional €100. Something like that shouldn't happen. (With so many people you can lose track of who ordered what, but the waiter should actually keep track). We won't go there again.

As unauthentic as it gets. First time ever seeing gochujang served as a condiment. Slabs of meat sliced, no marinade or proper seasoning available. Pricey and staff unfriendly, bordering on rude when not getting tipped. If you value the real thing, go elsewhere.

We celebrated my friend’s birthday here. We ordered two BBQ Menu 3 to share and some other dishes. The food is okay, fried chicken, kimchi and wakame are pretty good, the bbq menu is fine, but nothing extraordinary. Very expensive for just a few pieces of meat. The staff is super rude, they have zero competence in customer service, we got yelled at for ordering from 2 different QR codes. Some dishes were missing as well, and when I asked them, they literally ignored me multiple times. Very bad service I must say. Wouldn’t recommend this place at all, just because of the bad service, there are way better korean restaurants with friendlier people.

The ventilation concept urgently needs to be revised... Yes, of course you smell like barbecue, but to that extent it was disgusting... The food was great, but definitely only again when I'm not wearing a winter coat, which needs a foundation stone afterwards 😅

The meat and prawns were of good quality, but the portions were far too small, there were hardly any side dishes in the menu, the service only spoke English and that wasn't particularly good. Overall, way too expensive for what you get.

The food tasted good, especially the corn dog. But unfortunately the 2-person menu (4-person menu in the photo) is only enough for 1. For me personally, the price could have included a few side dishes and more salad leaves. There is hardly any space on the tables themselves and unfortunately there is no legroom either. I can't complain about the taste, but the overall experience with the portions isn't great.

There was a steam vent, but it was recirculated and more homeopathic. The whole restaurant had a good level of smoke the whole time we were there and was also too cold at the same time, so some of us had jackets on the whole time. In addition, the prices were quite high. For an additional portion of meat (200g) you could pay from €20 for pork belly to €32 for rump steak/entrecote. It wasn't bad food, but it wasn't appropriate for the price. There were also half a mushroom, half an onion and a few zucchini and carrot slices as side vegetables for our menu for 2 people.

The food was great, the price was a little higher but the quality was very good, the portion was big enough to fill you up, but not too much. There is still room for dessert. Ambience very cozy and clean. Unfortunately the booking system for the reservations was a bit prone to errors, we were sent a confirmation even though they had declined. We were so pleasantly surprised that booking was so easy and a reminder was even sent the day before. Nevertheless, we were given a table because we couldn't help it. Be careful when it comes to service, you won't get very far with German, English should be spoken for clear communication. Since we knew how it works in a Korean restaurant, we knew how calling the service and ordering digitally works, but we found that a small card with explanations would have brought less effort and more clarity for everyone, you can't assume that everyone knows directly how it works there. There were also instructions on how to use the grill. Finally, we were asked somewhat harshly whether we were ready because the table had been reserved. No problem at all, but something like that is actually said at the beginning: e.g. "You have 2 hours". Once you sit down and eat, that's absurd. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the food very much.

The food was delicious but there were no side dishes for the BBQ other than those described on the menu. There was also not enough oil for the grill and not enough sauce served. The service was okay, a bit impersonal as the order was placed via mobile phone and the staff seemed a bit understaffed. Everything was there quickly but hectic and the explanation about the BBQ was more of a casual thing than the food was put out. The biggest drawback was the ambience, as the tables were far too small and the entire store was a smokehouse. Afterwards, you felt bad sitting down on the public transport because you could already smell the smoke in your nose and all your clothes could be put in the laundry. Overall, I wouldn't go there again for the Korean BBQ experience but I can have done it once.

Very poor ventilation. Too much carbon monoxide. Going home with a headache.

Low level service and slow response

The meat was very good. I wouldn't eat chicken again. There was too much sauce. But the tempura shrimps. When we were there there was very little going on. The same popular song played all evening. You can eat here once, but not the second time. Wasn't anything special.

Very inattentive and unfriendly staff. There is no response at all to the bell at the table, and if you somehow make eye contact you are ignored. After mentioning it several times, a single bowl of rice was only brought after half an hour. When paying at the front, a friend (Korean) was *laughing* referred to as Kim Jong Un because of his figure and hairstyle. When I asked him what that was about, he continued to laugh and didn't even apologize. The food was okay but the portions weren't particularly large. You get a drink on the house if you rate it 5 stars. I don't know how many of the reviews are legitimate.

The quality of the food was okay but it was insanely expensive compared to comparable restaurants. In addition, the door didn't close properly, so a cold breeze was blowing through the shop the whole time. Maybe we would have been better off ordering the “ready-made” dishes. That looked okay. I can only advise against BBQ :(

Service was okay. Unfortunately, the food was too little for the price and far too expensive. The air system felt like it wasn't working at all. Wouldn't necessarily recommend it.

The meat wasn't of high quality :-/

Cool. I never thought I would be so full with just one plate. (Veggi Teriyaki BBQ). But there is also a lot of mayo in it. Leoder only offers Kölsch beer.

So if you don't eat meat it's really not the best choice. I will never go there again because it was too expensive for what I got! I think 19 euros for exactly 5 shrimps is really excessive but teokkboki was very tasty 😋 although 19€ I think is too much for it. The positive thing for me was definitely magkolli, really tasty.

I honestly think the food is overpriced for the small portions and you had to order side dishes like rice separately. So it's honestly not that great value for money, but all in all it's still okay.

Recomendamos hacer una reserva. Es un lugar pequeño. Dicho esto, sus mesas están tan cerca una de la otra que es difícil levantarse de la silla. Nos sentimos apretujados sentados allí. La comida estaba bien. Lo hemos pasado mejor. Pero también hemos vivido en Corea durante unos años, así que podemos decir el verdadero negocio. Cualquier cosa que pedimos parecía tener un toque de especias indias 🤷🏼‍♀️ todos los demás lugares coreanos en los que no estamos, podríamos pedir salsas secundarias específicas, etc. individualmente. Aquí nos dijeron que debemos pedir una bandeja entera. Me parece un desperdicio de comida. De 4 - 5 salsas / añadir ins que tenían yo solo quería uno, los pepinos. Y yo estaba dispuesto a pagar extra. El camarero me dijo que pida toda la bandeja de nuevo y si quiero pepinos extra. Muy buitre para ser honesto contigo 🤷🏼‍♀️

The meat is too thin. Other people left the same review, but when I went there in person, the amount was really small for the price. The taste is okay, but the set menu is for 2 people and the amount is enough for a woman to eat alone. And since I grilled meat without a smokehouse, ventilation was a problem. The inside is filled with smoke. It is not comfortable.

First we were greeted in a rather unfriendly manner by an annoyed employee, then we were allowed to sit down at our table, which had not been properly wiped clean. In my many years of professional experience, I have never experienced such poor and inattentive service. The waiter's questions are ignored, and then the food comes and you have to take care of the cutlery yourself because the service skillfully ignores you. The food was nothing too special, everything tasted well, but the portions were small. After waiting a long time for someone despite pressing the button at the table, we had to pay at the entrance on our own. We won't visit this place again because of the poor service.

Delicious food. Great experience. Everything inside is very tight, there's not much space due to the table grills. You should know or inform yourself beforehand. So that it's good. Otherwise it's too expensive.

Wir waren mit der Familie anlässlich eines Berufsabschlusses inbfiesem koreanischen Restaurant. Die verschiedenen Speisen waren alle von guter Qualität,sehr lecker und preislich in Ordnung. Leider hat das Restaurant keine gute Abluft so dass alle Klamotten sofort in die Erscheinung müssen und diese Gerüche auch beim Essen stören. Die Eingangstüre ist deshalb auch immer offen. Der Service kann nur Englisch ist ist recht unkommunikativ. NEIN, WIR KOMMEN NICHT WIEDER.

The two of us ate here today. Really delicious, we ordered chicken and corn dog. Top. Next time I'll try the BBQ.

Wow, just wow 😍. We were there for the first time and absolutely loved it. The order was placed very quickly using a QR code on the smartphone. You could order via your smartphone and a short time later everything was on the table. The service staff is very attentive. The sanitary facilities are very clean and nicely decorated. The whole place is nice and cozy. The quality of the food is convincing 👍🏽. Very tasty, we will definitely be back.

The overpriced fried chicken was on the table after 5 minutes and was heavy in the stomach later. It was stuffy in the restaurant and the clothes smelled of grease from the exhaust air from the open table grills. Only one employee spoke German.

Very disappointing, the restaurant is not reflecting the high review note. The fried chicken was uneatable, our clothes smelled the kitchen odors when we got out and the waiters were careless. It took them 20 minutes at the cash counter to finalize the bill of another table. We has requested sparkling water (on the ordering app) and the waiter brough still water. We requested cutlery to a waiter and it took so long that another customer (who was waiting the 20 minutes behind our table) took 2 sets of cutlery from the bar and gave it to us, so that we could start to eat. Bad experience.

The food was delicious, but unfortunately very little and relatively expensive. Given the quantity, I could have eaten the €70 grill plate for two people by myself. There were hardly any side dishes and you had to order everything separately. Other restaurants definitely do this better. The staff was friendly and quick, but only spoke English. The crickets were clean and easy to use, unfortunately there is no ventilation system, which means that the clothes smell appropriate after the visit.

We were very disappointed! Very bland food, the room was completely full of smoke (after the visit you can shower and wash all your clothes straight away) and the prices for fried frozen food (fried chicken with sticky fries) are completely unreasonable. The bulgogi was basically a thin broth with fatty pieces of meat, the glass noodles advertised on the menu were nowhere to be found. First and last visit.

I'd rather unpack my own grill at home. Totally overpriced and hardly any side dishes, perceived as an uncomfortable quick turnaround and such poor ventilation that we ended up sitting in a draft and still smelled like a grill. No, thank you never again.

Das essen war völlig in Ordnung, aber das Gesamtergebnis eher negativ. Es war super eng und laut zudem noch kalt, weil ständig die Tür auf sein musste, die Kellner waren unfreundlich, eine Kommunikation ist nur auf Englisch möglich, alles muss extra bestellt werden, dazu zu völlig überteuerten Preisen. Extra Salat hat zb 2€ gekostet, von den typisch koreanischen Saucen gab es nur eine und davon auch nur minimal. Also wir kommen nicht wieder.

We were disappointed. The food was delicious, but overall it was a rather negative experience. It was cold because the door had to be open, the service wasn't particularly nice, communication was only possible in English, it was cramped, the typical Korean sauces were only available minimally and had to be reordered, and side dishes were also minimal, but for Another 5€ per portion could of course be reordered...drinks overpriced and soft drinks only in 0.2... Well, we won't be coming back.

Definitely a recommendation. The food was delicious, the service was nice and quick. The prices are suitable for a Korean BBQ. The smoke vent was also cool, very well designed and you don't really smell anything from the grilling on your clothes.

Unfortunately had a disappointing experience. The food wasn't necessarily bad, but the selection was small and the taste was unspectacular. The meat had a lot of tendons and there was hardly any sauce with it. The atmosphere wasn't great due to the poor ventilation (totally smoky place) and the tables that were MUCH too small. After the visit you definitely have to take a shower and wash your clothes.

We booked a table on the website and received confirmation of the reservation, but when we visited the establishment, there was no reservation. The establishment itself is not bad, good service, delicious food. Minus: the tables are located very close because of this it is very noisy, the hoods do not work very well.

The food tasted very good, the selection wasn't too long. Great for two people, but also possible for more. I think there is something to be said for the price/performance ratio, but it certainly depends on the location. It was a little too cold in the restaurant.

The grills stink and the air is ventilated through a window. In winter it gets cold. Small portions for the price. Unfriendly service.

+ friendly & fast employees + cozy chic atmosphere + well selected menu + easy ordering online on the website + delicious fried chicken + reasonable prices for Cologne

I was here a year or two ago and I was positively impressed. The waiters were really nice and friendly and the food was great, but this has changed drastically. I was there again recently and am disappointed with what this place has become. The menu has changed a lot and many dishes have been removed, which I find very sad. I had the original Korean Fried chicken + sweet chilli Korean fried chicken. It was dry and the chicken tasted cheap. In itself, it felt like the quality of the ingredients had dropped drastically even though the prices had actually risen and unfortunately there is even more to complain about. The waiters were unfriendly and completely unmotivated and when I wanted to pay the cashier urged me to give him a tip. I'm really disappointed with what this restaurant has become. No longer recommended for the price and service.

The food is okay, I always order the Samgyeopsal (fried pork belly in gochujang sauce with vegetables) the fried chicken is also delicious. I've been eating here for 2 years and unfortunately I have to deduct two points from the food because I have the feeling that the quality of the ingredients has deteriorated and the chicken is no longer well seasoned and is dry. The service used to be better, but now the employees are simply overwhelmed, sometimes unfriendly and everything takes forever. The ambience is nice but it is quite loud and stuffy.

Favorite Restaurant in Cologne, they have amazing food. I go all the time

Restaurant serving authentic Korean cuisine. The ambience is very interesting, unfortunately the air here is very bad because every table is grilled and the ventilation cannot get rid of the grease. The service is via app, but the waiters are very helpful.. 😎

I would agree with the other reviews, this is a tourist trap. There were three of us there and we had the Crispy Chicken Teriyaki twice and the Tteokbokki once. Unfortunately, you definitely don't get the dish that is described on the menu. The fish cakes for the tteokbokki were not whole cakes like in the pictures, but just small overcooked pieces. Crispy Chicken supposedly comes with rice cakes and potato wedges as a side dish. The potato wedges were just normal fries and rice cakes were nowhere to be found. After we asked where the rice cakes were, he first said that they don't come with the crispy chicken. After we showed him that he was wrong on the menu, the waitress wanted to tell us that they were under the Crispy Chicken. However, when we couldn't find them, he said he would bring us some. When he came back from the kitchen he claimed that they were out. Unfortunately we can't imagine that! The waitresses also only speak very broken German and only a little better English. This made communication very difficult. The ordering system via QR code and cell phone is also very impersonal.

Really cool, funny owner and very tasty food 🫶🏻

Was very tasty! The owner is super friendly.

The staff are kind, the atmosphere is nice, and the food is served quickly! delicious! It was a good shop!

The staff was kind and the food was very delicious! ! The quantity is large and I am very satisfied! !

I was in the restaurant with a friend in May and we were thrilled with the visit - friendly, motivated waiters, delicious food and a great atmosphere. Today we were there and everything was different. The two waiters only spoke a few words of German, so even ordering the drinks was a parkour. The menu has also changed; the dishes we ordered back then were no longer available. If you don't want to order a complete Korean BBQ menu, you can choose between 3 types of chicken or 2 other main dishes. We all decided on fried chicken and it was either too dry or drowned in a marinade that was way too sweet and sticky. Unfortunately, the rice cakes listed on the menu were not included. But since we knew that the waiter wouldn't understand us, we didn't bother to ask. Our iced teas all arrived warm and the waiter didn't even ask if everything was OK or if we would like to drink something else. For a place that now offers almost exclusively Korean BBQ, the restaurant is poorly equipped with ventilation and extractor hoods, so a wedge had to be put in the front door, which was really not pleasant given the outside temperatures (and our table was right next to the door). . When we were paying, the waiter actively asked us about a tip and he was about to tip something on himself, which I was then able to prevent. Given the experience and the poor quality of the food, I didn't actually want to give anything and felt pressured by his action. Of course, when we went out we smelled of barbecue, including our clothes - all in all a disappointment, especially compared to our last visit. There are much better places in Cologne if you want delicious and authentic Korean food.

Mediocre food in a tourist trap - we were blinded by the positive reviews and had a very disappointing meal. We ordered the "Gangnam" platter, which came very quickly and was placed on the table without any comment. We only received side dishes after a friendly reminder from us. Short greeting or explanation of how the whole thing works with the table grill? Absolutely non-existent. The "side dish" consisted of 3-4 slices of zucchini and a mushroom. It was served with oil, salt and a spicy sauce. A bit lean overall. The mini side salads were also able to do this (carrot, beetroot & cucumber - a portion of one tablespoon each). Ambience? None. The meat quality was ok.

The food (Korean BBQ) was more than carelessly prepared. The vegetable plate consisted, among other things, of two half stalks of leek. However you should prepare it sensibly. Unfortunately, the meat wasn't really tasty (pancetta, for example, was thick and tough) and the side dishes were very few and a bit bland. The service was so-so. I was very disappointed with the cost I had. The Korean fried chicken was probably not bad.

We were there recently and I have to say it was terrible. The employees are overwhelmed and stressed. Korean BBQ is not worth it because the meat is not seasoned and there is no sauce. It just doesn't taste good and the price for so little meat isn't worth it. The only good thing was that we spontaneously got a table. Go somewhere else for the money :)

We were disappointed. We had the Korean BBQ. The lettuce leaves were soggy. The waiters never asked us if it tasted good or if we needed anything else, for example when we ran out of lettuce leaves or we ran out of spices. There were no sauces and the meat came from the freezer. Therefore everything tasted very bland. We had to ask several times for more drinks. Overall very disappointing and not authentic Korean BBQ. I wouldn't recommend

We ordered plated meals and also Korean BBQ. The dishes on the plate were all good and tasty. The Korean BBQ was completely disappointing. We had the version with rum steak. Meat was ok, but the fat edge could have been trimmed off beforehand. In addition to the meat, there were a few lettuce leaves as well as salt and some spice paste to season the meat. And some more oil and butter. For the price of €23 per person, it's pretty poor. Unfortunately there were no other side dishes, so we also ordered rice and kimchi. By the way, the kimchi is delicious. All in all, there is no reason for us to come here again. Service rather unremarkable.

Our visit today was a complete disappointment! We ate there a year ago and we really enjoyed it and the food was delicious - especially the mixed portion of fried squid. Today instead we had the cheapest convenience frozen calamari with more breading than anything else. Chicken was OK, but the portion was significantly smaller than last time. The service is underground! In a Korean restaurant I expect at least some Korean staff and that if no one speaks Korean at least someone can speak some German or at least English. In English, only the order is taken and the same greeting and verse phrases are always used. No one could adequately answer our questions about the food and drinks. All in all, I have the feeling that you are trying to make as much profit as possible using as little goods as possible. But not with us! We will definitely not visit this restaurant again!

The food has gone bad. It used to be delicious. But now it's far too expensive what you get for the money. Never again…

Unfortunately, Gangnamstyle Korean BBQ in Cologne didn't convince us. We were looking forward to an authentic Korean experience, but were served with average dishes and an overall lackluster presentation. Although the restaurant is frequented by many Koreans, which usually indicates authenticity, the quality of the food left a lot to be desired. The Fried Chicken with Sweet Chili Sauce was good, but the Beef Bulgogi was disappointing - it was neither tender nor well marinated as we have seen in other restaurants. The supplements, which showed little effort and inferior quality, were particularly negative. The atmosphere wasn't inviting either: the ventilation is inadequate, so you smell strongly of BBQ after your visit. In addition, annoying details such as rags lying around, glass cleaner and the plastic spoon in the hotpot were not very appealing. The prices are too high for the quality offered. Anyone interested in Korean BBQ should keep this in mind. Overall, we would only conditionally recommend the restaurant.

The three of us ate Korean BBQ here - it was very tasty and the service was also very good. Gladly again!

The korean bbq is amazing, but the served side dishes are too little. The service can be improved because they are inattentive and very busy. It is often very hard to get the attention of the waiters and it takes a long time to order more food or pay.

Gochujang bulgogi is delicious! The Korean owner was so friendly and kind that I had a good meal!

They're friendly, the food is delicious, and it's completely Korean style.

The chicken is so delicious!! They also provide four kinds of side dishes, and each one tastes just like Korean food, which made me cry. I will definitely visit again when I come to Cologne!!

We cannot understand the very bad reviews recently. However, we didn't eat BBQ, just individual dishes. We were there with a large group and enjoyed different things. 》Theokboki were very tasty. However, the egg on top was boiled too hard and the vegetable tempura that was included in the app was not included 》 Fried chicken and side dishes in all variations were very good 》 Vegetarian stir-fries delicious and juicy 》 Starters (squid rings and shrimps) generally tasty but very greasy 》 really good selection for vegetarians All in all 4 stars for the food Staff: 》Friendly and hardworking 》 Important: mainly speaks English. However, that wasn't a problem for us Ambience: 》 Unfortunately only 3 stars here 》We were 13 people and had reserved well in advance 》 Nevertheless, we were squeezed into a corner and spread over 1 large and 1 small table... that wasn't in the spirit of having a Christmas dinner together. There was no other option... however, other large groups sat together. All in all, we would go there again.

I really like the service of the staff. They are very polite and friendly. and the food is also very tasty

insanely delicious korean barbecue + plus veggie :))

Day 2 in Cologne had BBQ dinner here. The food and drinks tasted so good and authentic with reasonable price.👍🏻😋 Environment is comfortable, staff are friendly, very good service and love all the Korean songs.😌Highly recommended! 💯

This is my first time here and I think it's very nice here. The food is very tasty and the service is also good. In addition, the prices here are very fair.

The staff was very nice and accommodating. The meat was very tasty.

Really very tasty and super nice staff.

The atmosphere of this restaurant was good. One thing I don’t like is the late serving of the food. And the staff doesn’t go to our table when we follow-up our order. Also the Lettuce you gave is not good! And also the pork belly you serve, no marinade nothing!

Tasted good, price was right, ok

Very tasty, good service, the people are friendly

Service was zero, no one spoke German. Meat was OK.

Very tasty food. Also vegetarian options.
