Namsan Berlin in Berlin

Great little Korean restaurant with very friendly service, beautiful dishes, and stylish gas grills. The beef bulgogi (for two) was excellent, and they offer a second portion of meat. A nice surprise.

One of the best experiences. Perfect food, perfect atmosphere and the kindest and warm stuff ever.

Great shop with beautifully presented and very tasty Korean food. Super courteous service who keeps an eye on the bulgogi on the grill and turns it himself. The kimchi is well aged and not one of the quick & dirty kimchi that you sometimes get in other stores. In the large selection of Korean restaurants in Berlin, currently the best for a relaxed date.

It was very tasty and relaxing!

Great service with super tasty food. We'd love to come back.

Namsan has a descent food with excellent taste and generous portions. As a Korean, I also appreciate their authentic dishes and bowls. The service was also outstanding—friendly and calm. The only minor issue was the rice; while beautifully shaped, it was too dry and cold. It would be better if it were warmer and more moist. Aside from that, everything was a perfect 5 out of 5.

Best kimchi salad I've ever had

Best Korean! The food is so tasty, you can feel the high quality of the ingredients immediately! The whole staff so attentive and quick, and the owner the friendliest! It had a very nice and welcoming atmosphere. Don’t miss this restaurant!

10/10 experience and super kind staff!! We are coming back 🥹

Super tasty, authentic Korean cuisine, we felt very comfortable. When booking a table, an amount of 5 euros per person is due, which will be refunded after the appointment has been made, card payment only, which I very much welcome. However, when I didn't book a tip using the card, the employee briefly lost her friendliness. Tip in cash, as I always do when paying by card, led to the return of the friendliness I had previously experienced

Extremely tasty and very nice people. I'll definitely be back!

We ate here for the first time on February 1st, 2025 and were thrilled. Ambience simple and beautiful...food fresh and delighted the eyes and the palate. I particularly liked the fact that the basis of many dishes is vegetarian and that the meat components can be added. We would love to come back and are already looking forward to our next visit.

We had a great experience here, the food was delicious and the personnel was so ooo kind. Thank you so much!

The bibimbap namul is just right ㅠㅠ From fern to radish namul.. All other menu items are also delicious. I visited several times with foreign friends and everyone was very satisfied! The people who serve us are also very friendly. Intention to revisit⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a very pleasant time at Namsan. The food (starters, main and desert) were amazing and very fresh! Also the service was very friendly, fast and they even welcomed our dog. Happy to come back soon!

We took the Soul grill plate for two and it was very filling. However, the ladle was much too small and you couldn't get the sauce onto the plate easily. Food was good but not top-tier among Berlin's Koreans. It can be done quickly, but definitely not a must-go place. Sorry, I'm spoiled there.

We had a great evening here! Very nice service and super delicious food. The best bibimbap I ate in Germany :)

On October 25th, 2024 I was in this restaurant with a friend. When we reserved a table we had to pay a fee of 10 euros, which you get refunded after the visit, but I couldn't quite understand why it was necessary given the size and crowds of the restaurant. The shop is relatively small and busy, which probably explains this practice, but still seems questionable. Another point of criticism is the limited length of stay: you can only use the table for 1.5 hours, as it is then reserved for the next reservation. At 7 p.m. sharp we were asked to leave, even though our glass wasn't yet empty - we found that unpleasant and inflexible. The food was really good though. As far as the service was concerned, however, there was a problem: When being served, the food was explained in English without asking, without first clarifying whether we even spoke English. This seems to be standard in Berlin now, but I find it problematic that the service staff seem unable to convey basic information in German. We said we didn't speak English (which wasn't true), whereupon the service staff was visibly irritated, but at least called someone who could help us in German. In summary: The food was good, but the service and organization left a lot to be desired. We will not visit this restaurant again.

An all-round successful evening! Service to the food was MEGA. We had the "Bulgogi Seoul Grill for 2 people". It was our first experience with Korean BBQ. We were directly explained how to eat it best and which combinations are “traditionally” eaten. Price performance unbeatable... Service and food simply perfect. It's been a long time since you've had an evening that you won't soon forget. We'll definitely be back!

If you love Korean food, go here! The japchae is so delicious. 👍🏻 Also run by Koreans :) so very authentic.

I ordered bulldog udong noodles but they brought me glass noodle soup which had very little noodles in it. As a result, I wasn’t full and went to an Uzbek restaurant to eat lagman.

The beef noodle soup is too sweet for me as an Asian. I can not taste other spice and flavor in the soup bcs is too sweet. Service is good, but 20+€ for this noodle is really too expensive guys.

good korean food, card payment accepted

Not just food, but a whole experience. We took the grill at the table and it was amazing. Consider asking for a doggie bag, as the portion size is huge.

We were so impressed by the quality of the food and how big the portions were. Definitely would recommend if you are in the area and you're looking to grab dinner.

I highly recommend this Korean restaurant! As soon as we entered we were greeted in a very friendly and warm manner. The service was extremely courteous, attentive and always with a smile on her face. The food was simply fantastic - fresh, flavorful and authentic. We were particularly impressed by the variety of dishes. All in all a great experience! We will definitely be back and can only recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy Korean cuisine of perfect quality!

Best grilled bulgogi in Berlin! Great portion. Super nice staff. Homemade kimchi and tofu are really delicious.

Great food, super service. What more can you expekt. Rediculous to compare with other restaurants because its outstanding. Book a table while its a small place.

Very good food, reasonably priced. Fantastic service from really lovely people. A great find

Everything at its best :) Service, food, ambience. Everyone is so super friendly. Always my pleasure!!

Everything was great, I'd love to come back. Always very tasty and great atmosphere.

Very tasty and authentic restaurant with great service. We'll definitely be back!

I just find it ignorant and cheeky to offer an exclusively English menu in Germany.

Super delicious food. We were there with our 3 children. Great introduction to Korean cuisine. The quality of the ingredients was good. Personally, I would have liked other desserts.

Super delicious. Super friendly.

Amazing food, very cozy place and extremely good service! 10/10 recommend

The manager is such a great host Her recommendations were exceptional The food was delightful I would definitely recommend Namsan as the best Korean I have ever tried

Very tasty food in a friendly atmosphere. We felt welcome

Great Korean restaurant with warm, motherly service that wants to introduce Korean food culture to every guest. Small menu with great selected dishes, which are always served with side dishes and soup. Drinking recommendation: rice wine!!

Brilliant and authentic bibimbap, delicious starters, served by super friendly service and the attentive and cheerful hostess. An all around great experience. I'll be back very soon and will test myself through the entire menu. Gamsahaeyo!!

There's really nothing to complain about. The ambience is nice, soft and calm, the food comes out quick and the quality is high. I would like to return sometime

It was great, they let us get a table in peak hour after just 10 minutes waiting, all the staff was super nice and the food… what can I say, it’s the second time we are there and we will go again for sure, it’s delicious. The dishes are big ❤️ the staff it’s super nice ☺️

A beautiful place, warm and welcoming. The girls were super friendly. The exquisite food.

We just passed by and spontaneously got the last table. I think it’s better and definitely worth to reserve. We really enjoyed the food. It was so tasty and rich of flavors, especially the rice cake. Woooooowwwww We will come again for sure!

This is the first bibimbap of this quality in Europe! Breaking the prejudice that making bibimbap is difficult... there are a lot of tasteless bibimbap, but this place serves bibimbap with real sincerity and taste.

Truly the best Korean I've ever been to. Not actually a kimchi fan but the kimchi here is really wonderful. Was here for the third time now. You actually have to book, but you can sit at the bar here if there is still space. Really highly recommended.

We had a very nice evening in this restaurant a couple of weeks ago. The food was delicious, and the stuff was also friendly and helpful. It’s better to make a reservation in advance since there are not so many tables, and the restaurant was full.

Bibimbab good but not the best. A little too expensive.

Very authentic. Bibimbab taste wonderful 👍. Friendly owner.

Best Korean in Berlin (in my humble opinion)

We ordered something to take away today. The staff was wonderful and the food was to die for. It's a shame that we don't have great food nearby. Otherwise we would be there every week.

Amazing food, very delicious. Great atmosphere and wonderful stuff! Definitely worth trying. We had great time :)

The food is so good, I tried noodles with chicken and it was excellent! People are really nice and friendly, i just felt so welcomed, like at home. Now it’s my favorite place in Bergmannkiez, thank you so much!

It is a fusion Korean food that has been well localized, and I think it brings out the taste of Korea in a unique way. The recipe is the same, but there are no ingredients, or people here don't like that kind of taste... It was nice to feel like they put a lot of thought and effort into creating a good and correct taste, rather than avoiding it like this. Asian food, Korean food, and especially bibimbap restaurants are very common in Berlin, but there were only two places that made me think, “This is really good, I want to come back,” and this is one of them. actually again I went there but it was closed ㅠ (They're closed on Mondays...) I'll try the next opportunity!

Very tasty food, very nice service, very nice atmosphere!! Would recommend

The food is of very high quality and the service was super friendly. Highly recommended and one of my new favorite spots in Bergmannkiez. The only downside is that they are not open during lunch time and also not on Mondays and Tuesdays. But probably it’s better that way, otherwise I’d be probably coming here way too often.

Amazing food and great service! It was our first time here and the waiter who helped us was super helpful in guiding us through the menu and helping us order their signature dishes. We had the kimchi and pork guiosas, the bibimbap and beef bulgogi. To drink, we tried a Korean beer called Cass. Highly recommend it!

Dude, it’s chill and it’s good food. Service is super nice. Just a good vibe

What a gem! I have been looking for some delicious korean food spots and am so happy I stumbled across Namsan. The food is incredible, really! Its the closest to actual Korean flavors I've had in Berlin. The team is super sweet and attentive and I was happy to see the restaurant being full, as it's well deserved. Honestly, try everything and you won't regret it :) I'll be back! PS: I've been back and its still as delicious and friendly as before! They added a spicy chicken dish which I ABSOLUTELY LOVED but it is definitely spicy, so be warned :) I will become a regular here whenever I visit Berlin. Thank you for serving us such delicious food!

Since it wasn't possible to make a reservation outside on the same day, we wanted to make a reservation for the next day. This was also not possible on site, but only online. They couldn't tell us whether you would get a place outside...besides, reservations are only possible with a deposit and the possible length of stay is limited to 1.5 hours :-( like some people try to get rich...

Delicious! Reservation required!

Really good Korean flavors, great service

An absolute insider tip away from the normal hustle and bustle of Berlin. Super friendly, authentic staff and first class food. Especially the bibimbap with seaweed is to melt away. The prices are very fair and the atmosphere is first class. If the weather is nice, be sure to reserve in advance and sit outside!

Everything and everyone is wonderful here. 🥰 thanks for the amazing dinner!

The best Korean in berlin , service is magnificent

I give it a solid 4. Food prices are a little high. Unfortunately, the chicken was no longer there. The staff is generally friendly, but for some reason our order was taken only 15 minutes after we sat down... Although the waiters were not busy at that moment. There are not many seats, so it is better to book in advance. The place deserves a 4.

Excellent expérience. Impeccable service. The food was delicious. I highly recommend this adress. It us a real must!

Absolutely surprised with the quality and pleasant service. It's definitely the best Bibimbap in Berlin! We tried Namul Dolsot Bibimbap and all the ingredients were fresh, sauce was tasty and soup was delicious. 100% recommended!

Such warm service and super delicious food. We had a great evening.

This is a Korean restaurant located between a quiet residential complex. Bibimbap, stone pot, and the rarely seen japchae are the main menu items. While traveling around Europe, I stopped by Korean restaurants in every city, but this is a place where you can eat authentic Korean food. There were very few Koreans and most of the locals, so it was clear that it was a local restaurant. Above all, the Korean manager and staff were very friendly, and the cook was also Korean, so it seemed like he brought out the Korean taste well. If you come to Berlin, I highly recommend stopping by.

Amazing place! Great service and food—definitely book a table. However you can also try your luck like us and get a place at the counter 🤩

It’s ok if you don’t get into Berghain, as long as you get a table at this restaurant! Authentic Korean food that was extremely tasty and super friendly staff

A real discovery of Korean cuisine in Berlin. A great welcome, advice I really recommend! excellent dish

This place is beyond imagination! The service is top-notch, and the food is exceptional. I'd love to recommend it, but if I do, you might steal my table! 😅

We had a wonderful evening here! The food and the service were indescribably great. If you want authentic Korean and very high quality food, this is the right place for you. We found our new favorite Korean here. 감사합니다

Very friendly staff. Mandus were very good. Jap-Chae was a bit flat. The Seaweed Bibimbap was sometimes exceptionally tasty (kimchi was unfortunately very mild), but definitely deducted because of the portion size. Overall good, with potential to be very good.

an actual gem. one of the few good affordable restaurants in berlin. food made with care + great service. really rare in this city

Lived in Korea for 6 years and some of the freshest, flavorful bibimbap I’ve had even compared to Seoul. Vibes were great, service was lovely. One of my favorite meals during my week in Berlin.

Bibimbap and bulgogi are the main menu items, and they are presented well. My personal wish is that they add menu items like green onion pancakes and kimchi pancakes.

We had a very nice evening at Namsan with great food and very attentive hostess and service. Classic bibimbap is highly recommended here and we look forward to trying other dishes next time. After we ordered the 6 shots, we even got one each on the house! See you next time!

Super delicious food and very friendly staff. I can highly recommend!

I have been here many times in the last few months. It was probably one of the top 3 restaurants in Berlin. Unfortunately this changed. I always order the same thing so I know the taste and size of the meal very well. The Bibimbap, that is quite expensive, around 22,50 and advertised that has 200 g of beef decreased in size and quality. The last meal I had there might really be the last one. There were only small pieces of shredded meat, probably under 100 grams but they added mushrooms, carrots and other things to mask the quantity of meat. The dish also is more oily and less tasty. I don't need huge portions of meat but if you don't deliver what you advertise it's false advertising and you charge the same as before . Felt very disappointed.

Friendliest staff I've ever seen in Berlin

An oasis of good food and amazingly friendly and warm service.

What a beautiful restaurant. Outside Korea, this is the closest I found in terms of vibes and food!

Absolutely amazing food, going to dream about the bibimbap. Made even better by the amazing staff. Can't say enough nice things about them. Genuinely lovely people who elevated the whole experience.

Super good Korean food and very friendly staff. Was a bit crowded but it’s totally fine with the high quality food and service

Amazing food (with different grades of spiciness), very full, hearty and aromatic. Simple but nice interior. Might be a bit too loud for a cozy conversation.

Delicious!!! And we love Jinhee!!

Super nice service and amazing food. I'd say one of the best places for Korean food in Berlin.

Super delicious food, very nice service, who offered us seats at the counter despite not having a reservation, thank you very much for that

the food was amazing and the staff was incredibly nice. i’ve never had korean before but i will definitely repeat after this one.

This is and incredibly lovely gem!! The food is amazing (great vegan options) and everyone is so wholesome! I can’t wait to be back :))

thank you very much for this moment, we will come back! and we recommend your delicious restaurant! very pleasant staff! Soothing and relaxing restaurant atmosphere! you might even think it’s a dream! see you soon ! the young Franco-Korean couple! The Lee couple!!

Very good food and a super lovely owner, you immediately feel at home :)

Such a nice place, tasty food, warm atmosphere and lovely service. When I come back to Berlin, I'll visit again!

Great Bimbab! Highly recommended.

Very cozy restaurant with super nice service. The Bibimbap was superb. Everything tasted super fresh and delicious. I will definitely visit again in the future.

One of the best bibimbaps in town! I had an octopus bibimbap and it was so good! The octopus was very fresh which is rare even in sushi restaurants. The waitresses are so so lovely and sweet, they make this restaurant even better ❤️

Great Korean food and super lovely service!
