Gin Seng Koreanisches Restaurant in Düsseldorf

It's friendly, the taste is good, and the tripe hotpot is delicious.

We were very disappointed with the service as the waiter repeatedly ignored us throughout the entire visit and we had to wait 20 minutes for the bill. The food was good but unfortunately we wouldn't come back due to the poor service.

We were probably unlucky. The kimchi pancakes had too much flour. The gimbap had no meat and the jaepchae had meat, but not really well done. Actually, I don't like to complain, gastronomy is a tough business. Nevertheless, next time I will go one door further.

Despite reservations, 8 other couples waited at the entrance for 45 minutes before being seated. Absolutely uncool to treat Friday evenings and people's time like that. When asked about it, I was ignored, there wasn't even a sorry.

Insanely delicious food. But much more important: incredibly nice service and perfect advice for gluten intolerance. All the other shops in the corner turn you away. Here dishes are modified until it suits you. A person who really knows his card and knows what goes where. Thanks!

Not authentic Korean food. We didn't get what we ordered. Very disappointing!

Tasteless and indigestible food, so far from typical Korean food, dirty environment.

Not authentic Korean food... Even the rice was wrong.

Eating on the treadmill is always good

We spontaneously went here this afternoon. Very friendly, very tasty, a bit of friendly chaos in the background. Hems up for that!

The food was great, the staff very friendly, and the place was very nice and cozy. I will come back 🤩

Food was amazingly delicious, we got free apetitizers. However, staf were running around so it took time to take the order.

Food was delocious but their banchan are only on small portions and potato was overcooked. Cattle Knee soup was delicious and with generous portions or meat/ tendons. It was also seved in stone bowl which maintained the soup hot althrough our meal. Pork kimchi is also delicious, a little bit of oily but its ok. Spicy but can be tolerated, good for the winter.

The cuisine at this restaurant is simply outstanding. Every dish impresses with its excellent taste and quality, which always remains at a consistently high level. It is precisely this reliability that keeps us coming back here again and again. The service also leaves nothing to be desired: the staff is not only friendly, but also quick and attentive. You feel completely welcome and well looked after. A place where you can experience culinary delights in a relaxed atmosphere - absolutely recommended!

Very good Korean food and a friendly waiter. The menu for 2 people is a great cross-section of Korean classics: beef soup, kimchi pencake, BBQ...

Unfortunately the visit was disappointing. In my opinion, Korean cuisine is one of the best. Unfortunately the food was the worst I've ever had. I always thought bad Korean food didn't exist :D. No comparison to the food in Korea or other restaurants I've had the pleasure of visiting. The bibimbap is completely tasteless. Chicken was good, but €14.50 for this small portion is really crazy. Despite a reservation, we waited half an hour until we got a table. Another half hour passed before we were served and the food came. The atmosphere seemed dingy to me. The dirty dishes were piled up on the wall next to the bar. Service seemed overwhelmed because everyone was doing everything. What was also exciting was the fact that there was no proof. After we did the math, we were charged €4 too much. Of course we couldn't understand that anymore, see above :) We came here because of the good Google reviews. Kind of a disappointing experience. Unfortunately, like many things on Immermannstrasse: overhyped.

The dishes we ordered, including Jokbal, Samgyetang, Jjajangmyeon, Ogingoe Dupbap and Japchae were all disappointing. Food does not taste authentic. The service was also unsatisfactory. The staffs did not speak Korean. Overall, it was a bad experience, and I would not return.

I love meat such as pork belly, there is no place like this in Dussel. The soup tastes strangely like the one I had in Korea. I heard that the owner worked at a Korean restaurant for a long time and became independent. Although all the employees are foreigners, it feels like a strangely Korean alley restaurant. All menus are medium quality. My favorite was the pork belly and soft tofu stew.

As a tourist, my experience was bad, they have a great menu in German and only 4 dishes translated into English, the service was good but in the end they rushed us to eat and took away our plates so that someone else could sit down, we still had the drinks. The food is nothing special.

Super nice experience. Very tasty, really worth it

30 mins waiting for food and 10 mins to be noticed and get seated although there are free tables They keep limiting the appetizers it's now only 3 Never coming bsck again

Came in and waited 10 minutes. Then we waited again until we got a table. Waited half an hour for the card, then asked for one myself. Ordered food and drinks. Drinks came quickly, food took an hour. Then had free drinks. Black hair in my food. Tried to make eye contact with the waiter, but they had blinders on and looked away. Walked to the bar myself, explained. Plate was taken but nothing was said. Afterwards we received new food quite quickly. Big portion, not bad. Wanted to take the rest with me, asked for a doggy bag. Received a Styrofoam container and immediately the ATM machine. It was cold there, the door was always opened. 0 atmosphere. 0 customer friendliness. All in all, preferably 0 stars.

**"An absolute highlight - authentic food and warm hospitality!"** We came to Gin Seng especially from Solingen, and it was more than worth it! From the first second we were warmly welcomed and immediately felt at home. The food was simply fantastic – fresh, tasteful and prepared with so much love. But what really made the evening special was the boss himself. He took the time to welcome us and we were deeply impressed by his warm manner. Even though we mentioned that we came especially from Solingen, he took special care of us and made us feel very special. This restaurant is not only a place for great food but also exceptional hospitality. We'll definitely be back - we're happy to make the trip from Solingen any time!

Best boss, best food. The service on site is great. We've been there several times and have always been thrilled. The food we order always tastes delicious. Everything is wonderful, we are very happy with you. Greetings from Solingen!!!

We are still waiting for 2 friends due to the train delay. But the waiters weren't happy with it and showed bad attitudes.

**“Authentic Korean restaurant – an experience for all senses!”** The Gin Seng completely convinced me! The atmosphere is inviting and cozy, and the loving design beautifully showcases Korean culture. The food was excellent – ​​fresh, tasty and perfectly prepared. The variety of dishes was particularly impressive, all served with great attention to detail. Every bite was a delight! The service was also great: friendly, attentive and helpful. The team was always on hand to answer questions and make recommendations, which made the visit even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning soon! Greetings from Solingen ☺️

Bonito restaurante con un gran servicio y buena comida coreana! Probamos un menú degustación que no nos decepcionó. ¡Deberías hacer una visita si disfrutas de buena comida!

We dined there for my birthday and had an absolutely fantastic evening! The food was really delicious, we will definitely be back 😊

I ate soft tofu stew and it tasted just like the one I had in Korea.

Absolutely recommended! The food was very tasty and the service was great. Although we arrived late and spontaneously, we were warmly welcomed and felt very comfortable. 😊

The restaurant didn’t quite meet my expectations. To compare with other Korean spots, we usually order the same dishes: Mandu, Fried Chicken, and Bulgogi. Unfortunately, the Mandu didn’t seem homemade—the dumplings were open, much like frozen ones you’d cook at home. The fried chicken was alright but lacked flavor, and the sauce tasted artificial and lacked depth. On the positive side, the Bulgogi was delicious and full of flavor. The atmosphere felt like a typical cheap Asian restaurant—nothing special and rather dull.

On a réservé sur internet, arrivé sur place ils nous disent qu'ils ont "égaré" notre réservation (bien sûr...) et on a dû attendre plus de 30min dehors. Ils se sont trompé plusieurs fois dans les plus servis (ils ont complètement foiré lors de la prise de commande) et nous prennent de haut quand on a demandé un geste commercial. Et la cerise sur le gâteau lors de l'addition il se sont trompé de plus de 100€ (à leur faveur bien entendu), heureusement qu'on a vérifié et réclamé ! À fuir, très mauvaise expérience !

I was pretty excited to eat Yuk Hoe (Korean Tartar) since it's one of my favorite Korean dishes. I lived for a year in Korea and I'm pretty used to how it should taste. The Yuk Hoe came drenched in sugar, like a dessert. It was sweeter than the Makgeolli. There was so much sugar that the sugar grains couldn't dissolve in the sauce and were cracking under my teeth. This is not how Yukhoe should taste at all. It was completely uneadible. The waiter was not Korean and had no clue how it should taste, but still tried to justify it, saying that Japanese like it that way. The Japanese group next to us confirmed that in Japan Yukhoe is not sweet like that either, and the waiter looked surprised. After not eating it, I was still charged the 17€ for it.

Love this restaurant. Super tasty Korean BBQ and generally delicious Korean food and at the same time really inexpensive. Are often here with friends or work colleagues

I've been to Ginseng a lot and no matter if it's a quick lunch or a longer dinner with bbq, it's always delicous with amazing service!

Pretty average food, the soups a little too greasy and some dishes a little tasteless, although the service was fast and friendly. It gets one star in total because we have seen mice running inside the dining room while we were dining, which makes us think about the healthiness of the place...

My heart is bleeding 😕💔 I was promised starters and there were big main course prices without them being visible on the menu. Sorry but €17 per Tobukki is really bottomless. Then it came to payment, the bill was rounded up without consent. What's that supposed to mean?! WE WILL NOT COME BACK!

I am leaving a review after my fourth visit. My favorite menu item is tripe hotpot! It was a taste that soothed the joys and sorrows of living in a foreign country 🥹 The food was delicious and the owner was very kind. Jjajangmyeon, sweet and sour pork, and dogani soup were all delicious, and the portion of dogani soup was plentiful. In the cold winter, I packed dogani stew and ate it for two hearty meals at home.

Was here with a friend. Good food and nice service.

There were four of us there and we were warmly welcomed and served. The food didn't take long to be brought out either. Furnishings and toilets are all neat. The tables have a stove inside for BBQ or hotpot. It wasn't that busy when we were there (around lunchtime) and there were still plenty of places. I can recommend it👍

Great food. And the only reason there's no line in front of the door is because it's not hip like the other shops nearby. But at least as good!

The restaurant is highly recommended

We didn't make a reservation but still got a table straight away. I thought it was nice that you got small side dishes with the meal. There is a large selection of food, with vegetarian dishes at the back of the menu.

My favorite Korean restaurant in Dussel!

Very very tasty food :) The dishes taste very traditional Korean and there is a wide variety of dishes. The staff is also very friendly, which I also liked!

Despite having a reservation, the staff insisted there was none. After a long discussion we finally got a table. The food was mediocre and the portions were tiny. The prices are excessive. The service was slow and overwhelmed, we had to wait forever for our order to be taken. Overall a very disappointing visit. Not recommendable.

The restaurant says it supports VISA, but when I tried to pay with my card, they told me I need to pay by cash. I insisted paying by card, but their pos machine just did not work, and they told me it is my card's problem. Luckily, I brought some cash and was able to pay the meal. But then I went to another shop, my card worked just fine. Quite disappointed.

Whenever I'm in Düsseldorf, Gin Seng is a must. The food is simply delicious and spicy.

I would say average. Got the ziaziangmyeong noodles, portion was good and filling but there was a flavour missing. The banchan were all really delicious. Atmosphere was like an Imbiss.

Super delicious food and very friendly service! 5/5 stars

1 star for the bartender who was friendly, everything else and the Korean BBQ was a failure, many dishes and side dishes were simply covered over so that they no longer have to be offered and the taste was only spicy.

The service was relatively good, but the frame was very VERY spicy, you couldn't eat it at all.

The interior of the restaurant is old. The owner doesn't speak Korean very well, but if you order in English, he answers in Korean. Strangely enough, they were selling Chamisul with a Korean label. I ordered 3 servings of pork belly, but it seemed like there were 5 servings. The side dishes were very similar to Korean ones. I think the person in the kitchen is Korean. Perhaps because Dolsot Bibimbap is so famous, many locals eat it too. Instead of pork belly, I had stone pot bibimbap and soft tofu stew. Those who like seafood soft tofu will not like it. This is pork soft tofu stew. I drank 3 bottles of soju and 4 bottles of beer and the total cost was 145 euros.

We are there regularly, with a journey of around 100 km. Dishes from the hot stone pot are great at moderate prices (5 stars). Update 2023: Inflation has an impact everywhere, of course. But increasing prices and reducing portions at the same time (soup/spring rolls are no longer available at lunch) is not very encouraging. Update 2024: More and more expensive and less and less. The photos of the ramen soup on the menu look great, but the soup is the economical version. A pity.

Best kimchi, best food.. The people were very welcoming … Will visit always.. Best Korean restaurant in Dusseldorf..

We bought only bento for take away. It tasted very good and we enjoyed it a lot!

For me the first address. Price-performance and service are great. Small but nice.

The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't wow either. Rather in the middle range, there are - in my opinion - better Korean restaurants. :) The atmosphere didn't blow me away either, it was a bit lackluster. Service, on the other hand, was good. But I don't think I would eat there again.

If I could give 10 stars I would give 20!!!! Super lovely staff, incredibly tasty and fresh food and the price is just TOP!!! Gladly again!!!!! 🫶🫶🫶

Anyone who has been to Korea can confirm this. It is a simply furnished restaurant. But the food is of a high standard. I had bibimbab and mandu this time. Can only recommend it.

Incredible food! Worth eating !!

bad .don't improve. unkind speech.....

Huge selection of Korean food and “typical Asian” where everyone can find something. We were welcomed really nicely and enjoyed ourselves :)

Large selection and delicious food. A little more hidden, which is why fortunately it wasn't too crowded, you were served straight away. The prices are reasonable & the staff definitely deserves their tips! :-)

Excellent food with top value for money - highly recommended!

🤩Food definitely 5 🌟!!!! Amazing both in terms of the number of options and taste. Level of Scharf 🌶️ also flexible 👍🏻 ✅ Asian tastebuds approved The staff/service would be the only hit and miss factor. 🤪 Sometimes it’s extremely friendly, other times 🙊 But overall definitely a solid recommendation for anyone that’s up to an authentic Korean food experience 🤗🤗

Takeaway order. The food took a very long time to arrive and when it did some of it was cold and some lukewarm. Not very authentic, it did not taste like Korean food at all. Chicken was dry and tasted like it had been re heated (though only lukewarm when it arrived). Can't imagine that I will order from there again.

We came here because all other Japanese restaurants were booked out or had long lines. We normally also like Korean food but we were rather disappointed here. We had a bibimbap with dinner set (incl. a soup, 3 sides and few pieces of kimchi pancake) and Jokbal. The sides were made very loveless and tasteless and cold. The soup was a simple bouillon with lots of chopped veggies (didn't taste great) and the kimchi pancake was too oily. The dolsot bibimbap was lacking taste too and was also too oily. We Jokbal was okay. I barely finished my bibimbap and we had to pack the Jokbal but we barely touched any of the sides and the soup. Definitely would not recommend ordering the dinner set. Including drinks we paid about 50€+ Their toilet was also not very clean and walls and floor are all sticky. Service was also not great. We didn't get our cutlery until we asked for it after our food all arrived. We would not come back here 😔

The restaurant was very full, so we recommend making a reservation for the evening, even during the week, it was very clean. The staff was very friendly. A sufficient selection of dishes and the food was very tasty. Definitely worth a visit and the price/performance ratio is perfectly fine.

Super great service, top recommendation, food super tasty,

Authentic Korean restaurant with great service.

Nous avons pris un petit menu et c'était très bon. Je ne suis pas trop familier avec la cuisine coréenne, mais ce que nous avons mangé m'a semblé authentique, savoureux et épicé (mais pas trop). Une belle découverte !

Makgeolli (막걸리) is super delicious. The large size is the same as a whole clay pot. It is slightly sweet and you drink it from a bowl. It is very authentic. It is recommended that you order some side dishes to accompany it~ (Of course the side dishes are German salty. (Hey~)

食物非常美味，豆腐汤的大酱香味非常浓郁！ 美中不足的是炸鸡有点软了，不是很酥脆。不过其他很不错👌👍 服务可圈可点，进店后门口站了十分钟都没有人来接待，坐下后点菜也是很久没有人来询问即使主动点头示意几次后也没有得到立即的服务。 但是点单后上菜速度和服务都很及时。 希望店家可以进一步提升。 总的来说好吃😋

Ordered the knee soup ( yes knee) with some wide dishes. The soup tasted very good. Very wholesome and authentic meal

Heerlijk gegeten, ruime keuze en goede prijzen. Bediening ook super aardig

Das Essen war einfach nur lecker wenn es ging würde ich mehr Sterne geben😉

Hier gibt es sehr leckeres koreanisches Essen und dabei auch viel Auswahl. Ich liebe besonders den Dolsot Bibimbap (im heißen Steintopf). Komme bald sicher wieder!

Nice little restaurant to have some delicious food which you can share with friends and family.

Beste koreanische Adresse in Düsseldorf!!! Service extra außerordentlich gut! Der Chef erinnert sich auch noch nach Monaten, was man beim letzten Mal gegessen hat. Erklärt alles und empfiehlt immer das Richtige. Auch wenn das Ambiente erst einmal an Gaststätte erinnert, ist es aber genau wie in traditionellen Restaurants in Korea. Im Ganzen ist dieses Restaurant einfach spitze, der Service top und das Essen weltklasse! P.s. für Vegetarier und Veganer wird auch außerhalb der Karte gezaubert, wenn man fragt..

Buon coreano con una ampia scelta di prodotti tradizionali. Ottimo il bibimbap e la zuppa traizionale di pollo al ginseng. La casa offre una fantasia di stuzzichini prima di servire i piatti ordinati. Peccato il tè allo zenzero sia già zuccherato e la teiera di tè al gelsomino molto piccola.

Durchschnittlicher koreaner, das essen schmeckt gut und preislich in Ordnung

Freundlicher Service .. Essen OK

Netter Laden auf der Oststraße mit guter Küche aus Korea. Wir waren gestern da und der Laden war voll und daher war auch etwas Chaos im Service. Das Essen war klasse und auch bei dem Chaos waren die Leute bemüht das es so gut es ging für uns war. Man solte aber beachten das hier scharf auch scharf ist und man sollte dem Service sonst sagen man will es lieber Europäisch Scharf haben statt Korea Spicy.

Das Essen war ganz klar eine 10/10! Leckeres Gemüse und umwerfendes Fleisch! Das Fleisch wurde sehr gut gegrillt. Alles kam mit Beilagen und zusätzlichem Reis. Wenn Koreanisch essen, dann nur hier! Ich empfehle es wirklich nur zu 100%.

Essen scheint mir authentisch und ist auch lecker. Das Interieur ist schon etwas in die Tage gekommen und wirkt lieblos. Service normal ok. Portionen sind recht klein.

Wir waren mit 4 Leuten vor Ort essen. Die Bedienung wie auch der Besitzer waren super freundlich. Da wir bei der Auswahl des Essens etwas überfordert waren half uns der Besitzer aus. Das Essen war sehr lecker und wir hatten einen sehr tollen Abend.

Der Inhaber [glaube ich] ist mega korrekt. Er und seine frau können nicht gut deutsch, dafür können die koreanischen flair rüber bringen. Als ich da war , waren nur Asiaten im Restaurant, War ein sehr schöner Besuch, die Speicherkarte war etwas unübersichtlich. Also habe ich direkt nach einer Empfehlung gefragt, die war sehr gut. Preis Leistung fand ich sehr gut

Das schlechteste Bibimbap, das ich je gegessen habe. Dinner Set schmeckt auch nicht

Es hat uns beiden super gefallen

unglaublich leckeres Essen mit hochwertigen Zutaten und freundlichem, hilfreichem Personal. Echt zu empfehlen!

Schlechteste Restaurant Erfahrung. Waren zu zweit hier und hatten 4 Gerichte (2 Vorspeisen) bestellt. Bei einem Gericht fragte ich, ob ich diese ohne Meerestiere haben kann, da ich diese nicht esse. Von den 2 bestellten Vorspeisen, war eine falsch und musste reklamiert werden. In meinem Essen fand ich plötzlich Oktopus, also mussten wir auch dies reklamieren - obwohl ich extra nochmal nachgefragt hatt, ob das Gericht frei von Meerestieren ist. Danach war vorbei. Die Speißen waren sehr fertig und mir war danach etwas übel. Das Restaurant qualmte dann irgendwann weil am Tisch irgendwo gebraten wurde. Sorry - aber nie wieder. Noch nie so schlecht gegessen - noch nie so viel reklamiert. Katastrophe.

Hier gibt es eine schöne Selektion authentischer Gerichte, unter anderem die eingelegten Speisen oder Bibimbap. Ist für jeden etwas dabei, der diese Küche schätzt. Der Service ist zudem immer sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend und erklärt auch gerne etwas zu den Speisen.

Das beste koreanische Restaurant und die besten Brüder ♥️ Sehr sehr leckeres Essen und top Service!!

Trotz Reservierung geschlossen. Wir hatte extra über das online tool einen Tisch für vier Personen reserviert und auch eine Bestätigung bekommen. Am Restaurant angekommen mussten wir feststellen, dass das Restaurant gerade in der Sommerpause ist. Weder auf der Homepage, noch bei Google konnten wir Infos dazu finden. Beim letzten Besuch konnte man unsere Reservierung nicht im System finden. Also insgesamt absolut schlecht organisiert.

Super Laden. Wir hatten das Special Menü für 25€ und es war mehr als genug. Wirklich super Essen, mit allem drum und dran. Preis absolut fair

Nach einem Jahr wieder mal hier und Bibimbab gegessen. Eigentlich wegen eingelegter Gemüse frei von Haus, die man in Korea immer kostenlos nachbestellen kann. Hier in Düsseldorf sagt der Kellner, jedes Schällchen 2 Euro extra kostet. Auch das Bento für Lieferservice mit 11 € kostet im Restaurant Essen 14 €. Das Ist wirklich ein Witz und Abzocken! Das Bibinbab ist lauwarm und kein Vergleich, wie man in Korea überall kriegt. Sehr schlechtes Preisleistungsverhältnis! Schade, dass das Restaurant nicht mehr gut wie es mal war.

DAS SCHLECHTESTE, SCHLECHTESTE, SCHLECHTESTE, SCHLECHTESTE Restaurant aller Zeiten!!! So langsam. Überhaupt KEIN Service. Der Besitzer war arrogant. Das Essen ist nicht frisch. Teuer. Portion ist klein. Dreckig! KOMM NIEMALS! 千万别来！！！事物不新鲜，店主黑脸，服务员冷漠，五十欧没吃饱，就一口剩米饭，最垃圾，没有之一。 THE WORST WORST WORST WORST WORST restaurant EVER!!! So slow. NO service at all. The owner was arrogant. Food is not fresh. Expensive. Portion is small. Dirty! NEVER COME! HET SLECHTSTE SLECHTSTE SLECHTSTE SLECHTSTE SLECHTSTE restaurant OOIT!!! Zo langzaam. GEEN dienst. De eigenaar was arrogant. Eten is niet vers. Duur. Portie is klein. Vies! KOM NOOIT!

旅行中にたまたま立ち寄りました。スタッフの方がとても温かく、テイクアウトだったにも関わらずしばらく話し込んでしまい一人旅中の貴重な出会いになりました。ビビンバもとても美味しかったです。

Sehr nette und das Essen super ich empfehle weiter auf jeden Fall
