kini in Hamburg

All in all quite nice, but I find it to be rather mediocre overall. The food tastes good, but when folded down it's just a rice bowl, which isn't bad, but with a drink you can easily spend over €20, which is very excessive apart from the lunch menu. The service tries hard, but often lags behind. Unfortunately you cannot reserve. You can do it, but I wouldn't come here again.

Very tasty vegan Korean food. We had Bibimap with tofu and cauliflower, drinks and food came very quickly, were fresh and tasty. Since the restaurant is quite small, reservations are not possible. We managed to get a table early in the evening.

Coliflower Lunch highly recommended, especially with the red sauce (a bit spicy)

"Yong's Little Sister" The food was really tasty, we had bibimbap and the staff were super friendly! I can highly recommend the Soju Apple Sprizz! I would come back, very cozy for a nice evening. If you come early you can get a seat

The Korean Food experience. If you know what it's all about you'll be happy here.

Healthy lunch at good prices. Fast and friendly service

Ich hatte mich sehr gefreut, ein koreanisches Lokal zu finden, in dem konsequent vegan gekocht wird. Bibimbab, das ich bestellte, ist ein Gericht, das ohnehin sehr gut ohne Fleisch auskommt, da es dabei sehr um die Qualität des Reises und eine Anzahl marinierter und frisch geschnittener Gemüse geht. Fleisch wurde hier durch Tofu ersetzt - flächendeckend in Würfeln über den Inhalt der Schüssel gekippt. Das ganze hat nach überhaupt nichts geschmeckt - ich hätte genauso gut Styropor essen können. Auch die Tips bei der Bestellung der sonst sehr freundlichen Kellnerin waren mehr als fragwürdig. Ich bin sehr enttäuscht und werde nicht hierher zurückkommen.

We had delicious bibimbap for lunch for €10.90 (12-3 p.m. also on Saturdays). The lemonade was also nice and cold and delicious. Only the toilets were a bit disgusting... the customer toilets were broken and the employee toilets were a bit dirty... but otherwise a good shop. I would eat there again.

Very tasty meal! Bibimbab with Korean beer and soju. Recommended :)

A great little completely vegan shop. Which offers a really good price-performance ratio during lunch time from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. The map is a little confusing but contains everything you could want! The selection of sauces is a little smaller, but the hot sauce has it all! A great presentation of the store that fits into the Hamburg charm. Unfortunately, the charm is also small, narrow toilets that cannot offer permanently installed toilet seats at the time. I would advise against fake chicken even though it tastes great because the portion is smaller. The tofu and cauliflower taste very tasty and the mushrooms are really something special. Unfortunately, the drinks lag a little behind the standard of the food, but they are by no means to be despised. The waiting time was a bit long but there were 8 of us there.

Very good (vegan) Korean food. Reasonably priced. The store is really nicely decorated and is in a good location. The tapas are larger than expected, I ended up ordering almost too much, but take away is no problem.

The food at this well situated, all-vegan, Korean restaurant was absolutely delicious. It was easily the best food I've had in Hamburg on any of my trips to the city. The restaurant is very good for large bowls if you are very hungry, but I would also highly recommend getting a varied selection of their "tapas"-type mix and match dishes and choosing between a selection of smaller portions with a side of some rice. Pro tip: definitely avoid the red/green peppers they add to the bowls if you don't like spicy food as they are quite chilli and like to blend in with the spring onions! The cocktails they have on the menu are lovely too, and the variety of soft drinks is good. Overall, the menu is very reasonably priced, if a. bit on the expensive side, but definitely worth it. The service was good and the staff are very friendly and attentive to English speakers. They also have a good English menu too. The only thing that let this down from being 5 stars is that the acoustics inside were awful. I'd recommend sitting outside or just getting a takeaway because the acoustics were so bad that we could barely hear the person just one space away on the table, talking to someone opposite was just impossible!

Yeah, it was okay now, but nothing more. The black rice in the bibimbap was a bit overcooked and generally lacked some seasoning. We also waited forever for drinks - okay is the best way to go.

The food tastes great and the staff is very friendly and attentive :) The portions are very large, with the tapas one to a maximum of two dishes per person. In my opinion, the Banchan set is particularly recommended

Really good food with fantastic customer service. Good English skills of the waiter. I got bibimbap with marinated mushrooms which tasted absolutely amazing.

It's a very nice little restaurant in the middle of the Schanze. In summer you can sit outside well. People often ask for money while eating, but that's normal now... In winter it's usually a bit cold inside unless you're sitting by the heater. A new map has been introduced. Prices have increased and things like the silken tofu as "tapas" were a total failure. €9.50 for 4 pieces of silken tofu with a little cucumber on top is a bit too much. In general, the tapas are pretty outrageous in terms of price.

I was first not to convinced of going there but it was the only place that still had seats available outside. I tried the fried tofu and the Rice rolls in sweet and sour sauce with peanuts and both was absolutely amazing. I expected the portions to be rather small but for the price they were very decent sizes. Can recommend!!

nice waitress, quiet relaxed location. very good

Delicious vegan food with an additional lunch option. I can especially recommend the bibimbap with the Califlaur wings.

Very tasty authentic food. The cauliflower is really highly recommended. The service was friendly!

Overall a recommendation. Sure: eating/cooking costs money. However, I think there is too little rice for that. But the taste is consistent and reliable. I'd love to come back. To go also works well! Everything in clean cardboard containers ⭐️👍🏻

Went there yesterday with a friend. We were honestly quite disappointed. The food used to be very good, but I wasn't happy with it at all yesterday. We both had the fried vegan chicken (I had the meat alternative chicken, he had the cauliflower chicken). Mine was dry, with very little sauce. His cauliflower was mushy and also mainly sauceless. The wait staff were nice, but they forgot the bingsu we ordered for dessert. At that point we were kind of done so we just paid and left. It's a shame too see a place like this change, unfortunately we probably won't be back.

Unfortunately not recommended as the food is now very dry and the service leaves a lot to be desired.

Generally rather disappointing unfortunately. The lettuce in the bowl was wilted and the rice felt like yesterday. I wouldn't recommend it!

Not sure if good asian food is actually available in Germany. I seriously hope that I do not get food poisoning. Extremely disappointing. And we just realised it's vegan 😞 so at least we shouldn't get food poisoning.

Delicious vegan Korean food! Lots of options on the menu, everything I tried was so tasty !

This is a vegan restaurant, this is not indicated on the facade of the restaurant. As a meat eater, it was disappointing for me...

The fried tofu bibimbap was very dry and bland. The gimbap was also very dry. The chewy rice cakes were quite good, would recommend those. Overall: service and atmosphere were really great, they have a cool bar and their drinks are good. The food can definitely be significantly improved.

Was okay. Something was missing from the bibimbap. Wasn't the best I've ever had. The portion was too big for me, so I wanted to take the rest with me. Instead of this being done in the kitchen as normal, you are given a cardboard box in front of your nose and are allowed to spoon it around the table yourself. Does it have to be that way?

Not authentic Korean. The chicken nugget from Lidl/Aldi

Very tasty and very friendly, prices are also completely ok :)

The vegan tofu chicken was a bit tasteless, as was the sushi. However, the cauliflower and gyōza-like dumplings were super tasty. Restaurant is very cozy and small, you may have to wait a bit until you get a table.

Good option for a delicious lunch at fair prices. The bowl with cauliflower wings was very tasty.

Food was nice but the service was really inattentive and we had to go to the counter several times bc they rather hid there / the kitchen instead of being with their guests.

Good Korean restaurant with a vegan focus. The food was tasty and the portions were decent, although a little above average in terms of price. But ok, it's just a jump. The service was absolutely on point and courteous. The ambience is simple, but not necessarily cozy, which is due to the small space. That's why you can expect a little waiting time at certain times. Overall, a clear recommendation for Korean, vegan cuisine!

Food not so tasty. Small menu selection. “Kkokki loves vegan” is just 50 meters far away and tastes much better…

Super fair price-performance ratio!! One of the best, easy Korean places in town.

The fried mochi are great, but 2 pieces for 6.50 is kinda scam Otherwise the food was delicious and the price was okay.

Very kind and laid back staff. Good food!

service was friendly, the basil drink didn’t really taste like basil, kimchi guk was alright and tteok bokki was good.

Very tasty vegan food, large portions 👍🏻

Very good food! Loved the kimchi guk. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere

We felt very comfortable in this sweetly decorated restaurant. The V-pop Chicken Sushi was very tasty. We can also highly recommend the dessert selection. The hottoek we tried was so so delicious! Only the miso soup didn't completely convince us. We would definitely like to come back, there are many more vegan options that you want to try.

Sadly this is how we left. Flavorless food, and when I mentioned it, I was told it was vegan....

Small shop and decent service, although not overly committed. I had the lunch special, the soup was quite tasteless. The main course was fine. Wouldn't necessarily come back because of the food, also because the price is rather high. But the atmosphere in the restaurant is pleasant.

I wanted to try vegan and was really excited. Highly recommend, will eat here again.

Yummy Yummy Yummy! Ambience is actually nice, but it is very loud. You can't have a pleasant conversation when it's full.

Great service and delicious food. We just didn't really like the sushi.

Very good Korean food. If you could now sit even more comfortably and make reservations, it would get full marks. But the food knocks it out again!

One of the best Korean places I've been to. Love love loved it. Food was fantastic, affordable. Cocktails also so amazing

All the tapas I ordered were bland. The kimichi rice had no flavor. The cabbage inside was white and tasteless. The chef has to do better, especially with vegan dishes. That's why you go out for Korean food. So that you can experience the different flavor nuances, sweet, spicy, sesame, etc. tastes.

Soooo delicious, fast and friendly service. Even if you order home, super good and fast :)

The Kini has been my absolute favorite restaurant ever since I was there for the first time. Great food, great value for money and very nice staff. Would recommend the Kini at any time.

The food was delicious, but one waiter today was extremely unsympathetic and unfriendly. The other table said that too. Didn't talk to us nicely at all and behaved so rudely. I'm sorry, but never again.

Everything is perfect. Best cocktail I ever had!

I come very often because the food and drinks are super delicious! Especially the tteokbokki 😍

Kleiner, schnuckeliger Laden. Trotz Windfang ist es leider sehr kühl und zugig. Die beiden Mitarbeitenden waren super nett, das Essen war einfach mal etwas Anderes und hat gut geschmeckt. Pluspunkt weil komplett vegan :-) insgesamt war das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis nicht ganz stimmig, daher ein Stern Abzug.

Das Bibimbap ist eines der besten, die ich je gegessen habe und man sollte unbedingt das "Banchan Set" dazu nehmen, eine Auswahl koreanischer Side-Dishes. Auch das Kimchi ist eines der besten "ever eaten". Die Portionen sind reichlich bemessen und, zu meiner größten Freude, ist alles vegan! Fazit: GEH HIN! ;)

GREAT PLACE!!! Food was amazing, service really friendly. We are coming back 🫶🏽

Freundlicher Service, kurze Wartezeit, leckeres Essen, guter Preis - was will man mehr?

Das Essen ist wirklich unglaublich lecker!!! Die Portionen sind auch sehr gut. Preis-Leistung ist hier auch perfekt. Komme gerne wieder!

Super leckeres koreanisches Essen! Die Cauliflower Wings sind mein Favorit :)

Das Essen war gut, der Service sehr freundlich. Das Lokal ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Neue Leute hier. Die Preise sind recht hoch. Wir wurden fünf Mal angesprochen, ob wir etwas Kleingeld haben. Das war doch auffällig häufig.

So delicious!! Was skeptical about the vegan chicken but it was incredible! Tteoboki was a hit as well! Definitely want to come back :)

Ich wünschte ich wäre ein kleiner Shiitake Pilz der hier köstlichst frittiert und im himmlischen Glaze geschwenkt wird, um den hungrigen Mäulern am Tisch die endlose Befriedigung zu geben, indem ich mich am ihren Geschmacksknospen riebe. Doch ich bin nur ein großer Mensch und muss damit leben, mir nicht jeden Tag das formidabelste koreanische Essen Hamburgs reinzimmern zu können.

Super leckeres Essen zu guten Preisen Wir hatten den Mittagstisch mit Bibimbap und Tofu, super knusprig und optimal gewürzt! Werden wiederkommen!

Super lecker! Zu Empfehlen sind definitiv das veggie Kimpab und die fried cauliflower “wings” ! Das Tteokbokki war jetzt schon zweimal nicht so wie ich das präferiere, sehr weich aber eig. ganz okay und der Nachtisch (Hotteok +Eis) leider eine komplette Enttäuschung, werde ich hier nicht nochmal holen. Update: die frittierten Shitake Pilze direkt mein Favorit geworden, auch zu empfehlen :)

Food was definitely not what I've expected. All components where much to sour. No special taste and not piquant. Some kind of underwhelming. The drinks where also not very good.

Truly amazing quality food. Thank you!

The real Korean dish. I am big fan of Korean food. We enjoyed their crispy fried chicken and Bibimbap. All came with filled with flavours. Although it was super crowded. We barely found seats. Weekend is not good time to visit. It is little bit pricy according the the portions. Better eat something else and then enjoy their food. Do not miss SOJU, the Korean alcohol. You can buy it for later use too.

Woke korean resturant. Not authentic and tasty for me. I tried Bibimbap and Sushi both lower than average. Hambug has serval other Korean resturan that are much better.

Delicious vegan food. A go-to place for us.

Toller Service und leckeres Essen! Kann es wirklich sehr empfehlen!!!

Das Essen hat uns leider nicht abgeholt. Das fried chicken war merkwürdig hart und hatte einen pappigen Eigengeschmack. Das Tteokbokki war zu scharf und langweilig. Wir kommen nicht wieder. Der Service war super freundlich

Schönes koreanisches Restaurant mit leckeren fleischlosen Gerichten. Wir wussten, was wir wollten und waren mit unserem Tofu-Bibimbap und den Mandus sehr zufrieden :)

Sehr schön eingerichtet, Service schnell und freundlich und das Essen ist wirklich sehr lecker.

Bestes veganes Koreanisches Restaurant! Für uns immer ein fester Programmpunkt, wenn wir in Hamburg sind!

Druk restaurantje en erg gezellig! Fijne bediening die niet erg vindt om niet Koreanen de opties op de kaart nog eens toe te lichten 😉. Bibimbap gegeten, ruim voldoende maar kon mij niet helemaal bekoren.

Sitio agradable, tranquilo y con una carta con bastante variedad de platillos coreanos. Quedé muy contenta porque los platos que tienen están muy buenos, han sabido adaptar muy bien los platos típicos coreanos para vegetarianos sin perder el sabor. Probamos los v-fried chicken, el kimbap y unas tortitas y estaba delicioso. Repetiría sin duda. El servicio fue muy rápido y la atención muy amable. Ni tiene un precio disparatado, me parece que la calidad precio es buena. Sin duda lo recomiendo.

Buenas raciones de comida y mucha variedad vegana !!!

Great vegan food in a beautiful inclusive area. Kimchi soup 10/10

Ein wirklich leckeres veganes Restaurant. Die Speisen sind außergewöhnlich. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Great ambience and lively place. Food is also very good. Tried Bibimbap, Cauliflower wings were great, Vegan Chicken wasn't so good.

Small and cozy and very delicious food. Picky eaters shouldn’t come here tho, since it’s definitely something special.

Sehr cooles kleines lokal im Schanzenviertel. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich, die Stimmung sehr angenehm, und das Essen ausgesprochen gut. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist sehr sehr gut.

Mega leckeres Essen . Preis Leistungsverhältnis stimmt auch und der Service ist sehr sehr freundlich. Komme gerne wieder .

Esse hier sehr gerne & war schon mit mehreren Freunden hier & alles fanden es lecker. Leider kann man keinen Tisch reservieren.

Es war sehr lecker, die Portion war echt groß und sehr sättigend.:) Das Personal war wirklich sehr lieb.

Not bad. Overall delicious, maybe abit overpriced. Service also good. Will came again one day.

Ein schöner, veganer Koreaner in Hamburg. Ich war selber das erste Mal bei einem veganen Koreanischen-Restaurant und es hat mir sehr gut geschmeckt, auch wenn ich selber kein Veganer bin. Die Portionen waren auch nicht gerade klein und so waren die sowieso nicht so hohen Preise, noch angemessener. (leider habe ich nur die Suppe vorab und das Getränk fotografiert)

Leckeres asiatisches Essen, alles frisch und authentisch. Mussten etwas länger warten, war aber super viel los weshalb das total okay war. Auswahl etwas klein, aber man wird fündig. Service war gut aber hätte etwas netter sein können. Ansonsten alles tip-top!

Cosy fully vegan restaurant. Interesting menu with sushi, bowls and tapas. The food was good however some of the dishes could have had more flavour.

Das Essen schmeckt wirklich ausgezeichnet (alles auf der Karte ist empfehlenswert!), die Bedienung ist so mittelfreundlichn und leider dauert alles ewig. Der Raum ist grade im Winter deutlich zu kalt. Die gute Küche kompensiert die Unannehmlichkeiten.

War früher besser als es noch nicht vegan war. Nichts gegen Vegane Küche, aber früher war es halt besser als es noch das nice Bibibamp mit Lachstatar gab!

Sehr netter Laden. Wurde uns von einem Einheimischen empfohlen und wir waren äußerst positiv überrascht. Morgen gehen wir gleich noch einmal hin.

Waren zum Mittagessen im Kini und es war eine gute Koreanische Küche. Ambiente gut und die Bedienungen waren freundlich.

Hier kommt man als Vegetarier voll auf seine Kosten. Kini bietet dir koreanische Küche, 100% authentisch und alles plant based. Bis 15 Uhr kann man den Mittagstisch genießen - günstiges Bibimbap inkl. leckerer Misosuppe. Unser Geheimtipp sind die selbstgemachten Limonaden: Zitrone-Basilikum ist super lecker (wechselt täglich).

Da es bei den türkischen Nachbarn so voll war und koreanisch ja eigentlich immer geht, zog es mich ins Kini. Zuerst war ich ein wenig skeptisch ob der zwar recht umfangreichen, aber rein veganen Karte, doch ich wurde eines Besseren belehrt. Es werden überwiegend koreanische Tapas angeboten, zu dritt hatten wir 6 Portionen und waren pappsatt. Alle Gerichte (knuspriger Blumenkohl in 2 Varianten, Pfannküchlein, gebratenes Tofu und auch die gefüllten Teigtaschen) waren toll gewürzt und schmeckten fantastisch. Kein Steakhaus hätte mich an diesem Abend glücklicher machen können. Zudem punktet das Restaurant mit einer guten Preisgestaltung und nettem Personal. Bei meinem nächsten Hamburgtrip komme ich definitiv wieder.

Der Service ist sehr freundlich und der Qualität der koreanischen Speisen ist exzellent. Außerdem stimmt das Preis Leistung Verhältnis. Die Lage im Schanzenviertel ist sehr zentral und man kann gut draußen essen. Allerdings dauert es recht lange, bis man sein Essen bekommt. Daher trotz es sehr guten Essens nur 4 Sterne.

Früher war da das MIKAWA. Es hat sich nicht nur der Name geändert, sondern auch die Karte. Mein Bibimbap war gut und sehr sättigend. Die Minz-Limonade war sehr, sehr lecker. Es gibt nur eine einzige Toilette (unisex), trotzdem muss man ein Legostein mitnehmen, den man vom Personal bekommt. Das habe ich nicht verstanden...
