Restaurant Korea in Frankfurt am Main

There were no seats for lunch, so it was worth going back for dinner. I was happy to have had truly delicious Korean food for the first time in a long time. Not only the taste, but also the service and atmosphere are very Korean and warm. I will definitely come back to Frankfurt again!!

Kkongchi Kimchi Jungol is the true taste of Korea.

Very authentically delicious Korean cuisine. Since it is quite small, reservations should be made in advance. Prices are reasonable for the food on offer. There are a lot of Korean guests here, which is a good sign. Parking in the area is a bit difficult. But there are usually enough short-term parking spaces for €4/hour. I'd love to come back.

Amazing experience here at Mr. Lee! Authentic Korean food - highly recommended!! The only weird policy is that you need to order 1 dish per customer. This is a weird policy especially as in Asian culture you order dishes for sharing. You might be 5 people but just want 4 different dishes. They should re-think this policy.

Very tasty, authentic Korean food. The staff is friendly and attentive. We had a lovely time😊.

The food is outstanding! And the owner is very nice. If you are looking for real Korean cuisine and not a fast food restaurant, this is the place for you. You are usually the only person without (to me recognizable) Korean roots in this restaurant, which for me is a sign of quality that the cuisine is good and authentic. I definitely recommend making a reservation! Visitors often queue up to get a seat if they haven't made a reservation, but it's still worth it! I also have to note that you have to be aware that the dishes are, as I said and thank God, not "Germanized" and therefore, as is usual in Korean culture, they are often spicy. But there are also non-spicy dishes. I always enjoy coming back there!

Absolutely delicious food in a cosy, packed restaurant. Come here with family

The restaurant may not look like much from the outside... but after the first delicacies come to the table (all sorts of side dishes are always there) and then at the latest after the first bite - you are in Korean culinary heaven!!! Best food experience so far!!! A must for anyone who loves Korean cuisine! However, be careful with the tteokbokki: perfectly cooked, but with quite a spiciness kick! We loved it and will definitely come back 🤗

Super delicious food! We'd love to come back. Top service! Thank you! :)

The food tastes great. He’s kind.

Tldr: Mr. Lee – Spicy, authentic, delicious At Mr. Lee's you can get really authentic Korean food with a lot of spiciness. The selection of dishes is large, but vegetarians don't really get their money's worth. And if you don't tolerate spiciness well, whether you're a child or an adult, you might reach your limits here - almost everything has a lot of oomph. There are lots of small side dishes to share, such as three types of kimchi, pickled beans and other delicacies that make the whole thing even more exciting. Overall, eating here is really fun, especially if you're in a group. The price is also right – you get a lot for your money. But you should definitely make a reservation, otherwise it will be difficult to get a table.

Very tasty food. Pretty sharp. Always very busy - reservations make sense.

Food was too good to write an exhaustive review

If you're planning on visiting Frankfurt, I 100% recommend checking out this place! I really missed Korean food while traveling for a long time, and the food here was just as delicious and clean as the food at most Korean restaurants. I had a hard time with European food because it felt a bit salty to my taste, but the food at this restaurant was good and not overly salty and just right :) I really highly recommend it. The owner was so friendly and nice that it was the first time I voluntarily left a tip haha. I liked the food so much that I ordered a few more before it came out and even brought them to go^^

All in all, a dream as always! We come here specifically from Koblenz because there is no Korean restaurant near us. And you don't need a state-of-the-art restaurant, you need authenticity - and you can find that here. Very tasty food, nice and quick service. My husband, who was eating Korean food for the first time, was also thrilled. We hope we can enjoy many more delicious dishes there and look forward to next time. :-)

I stayed in Germany for 4 days and went there for 3 days. I think it would have been very difficult to eat if it wasn't here ㅠㅠ The food is of course delicious and friendly.

Ordered fried chicken, kimchi pork belly instant noodle pot, and rice soup. The taste is very authentic, and the side dishes are rich and delicious. The boss is very nice and easy to communicate with.

After trying a few Korean restaurants in Ffm and my girlfriend living in Seoul for half a year, I can say that this one is the tastiest and most authentic in the area.

I don't take pictures of food wherever I go, so I'll write it down in detail because I'm afraid it won't be conveyed well. I always pass by Frankfurt, so I have never looked at it in depth or stayed there for a long time, but this was the first time I stayed there for a long time (at least 4 nights). Since my kids love Korean food so much, I have to eat Korean food at least once during my trip, so I think I've been to most of the famous Korean restaurants in Europe. I'm serious about what I eat, so I get angry if it doesn't taste good haha. Mystery is definitely the best. I can confidently say that it tastes better than Korean restaurants. I thought it would be difficult to recreate a complete Korean style since it is made with local ingredients, but somehow~~ There are 8 side dishes and they change every day, and the taste has its limits no matter how much you describe it in words, so you will know it when you try it. I highly recommend visiting if you are based in Ppu or traveling out of town. It's Jjin here. president… He said he would come back in a year and I went there on 8/12 and he said he had gone to Korea. My daughter was really looking forward to it. She was so disappointed that she couldn't eat it... Please remember that I will stop by when I attend a conference in Milan in two years.^^

Totally missed beef, never again.

Super delicious food and a very pleasant atmosphere, it was our first time there but I'm sure it won't be the last time, at least we still want to try it out.

It is indeed the best Korean restaurant here. The owner is very nice. Be sure to make a reservation first.

This is absolutely, definitely the best Korean restaurant in Germany, or even in Europe! Our trip to Frankfurt was made unforgettable by this place. I wish there were a restaurant like this in Berlin as well! Every dish we had was incredible! It tasted authentic and delicious! The several side dishes provided for free are also incredibly tasty! They even change the items daily! If you love Korean food, this is a must-visit when you are in Frankfurt! It is very close to the central train station and easy to reach by public transport. The owner, Mr. Lee, speaks fluent Korean, German and English. He is very friendly and highly professional.

I really wanted to eat Korean food during my trip, but I couldn't make a reservation, so I got kimchi hotpot to go. My reservation was not made due to my mistake, but I was very grateful that the owner provided me with cider as a service. Thanks to the fact that they even prepared side dishes and prepared plates and spoons to eat from, I had a happy day eating delicious kimchi casserole. There were a lot of ingredients in the kimchi hotpot, and I was really full with rice, including kimchi, tofu, pork belly, and ramen noodles. thank you!

It's so delicious. I ate it all without leaving a single side dish behind. For those of you traveling from Korea, please make sure to visit when you are hungry for Korean food. Reservation is essential as it gets very crowded.

The food is delicious. Small selection of 8 different starters, we were particularly impressed by the kimchi. When asked, the dishes are explained very nicely. 100% recommendation.

Traveling around Germany and Vienna, Austria for a month I ate at 10 Korean restaurants. I rate this place as the best restaurant~ The beef stew was so delicious that I ate it all, including the soup. Neat, diverse and delicious side dishes I couldn't taste it at any other Korean restaurant. The food was delicious and the owner was very friendly. I'm visiting again as I finish my month-long trip~

Authentic, delicious, sociable!

overpriced for the quality and diversity of its foods

delicious food nice service Fair prices

Reservation is required here. If you go without a reservation, they won't even let you wait.

Just great. Small restaurant (so make a reservation if necessary), very tasty food, super nice service. Everything is just right. My favorite restaurant!

After 30 years of Korean food, I have 682.6 billion Korean restaurants saved on Naver Map. I have kimchi stew flowing in my blood. On the third week of reading, I felt dizzy and decided to visit Ppu Korean Restaurant despite the high-altitude environment. Price in Korea The sushi omakase is at the same level as old sushi, but the taste is worth more than the taste of your grandmother’s cooking. Korean boss. Reservations can be made by phone. They said I was fully booked, but if I don't get a blood transfusion now, I laid down thinking I was going to die, made a reservation + waited on site for 30 minutes and finished eating. Oh my gosh, I'm going to do it. There is a charge for side dish refills, so don't make mistakes by acting like an amateur.

Soybean paste stew was really delicious. The rice wasn't undercooked and the side dishes were just right, neither bland nor salty.

Excellent Korean Food!!!! Unforgettable!!!

Food is expensive, but one of the most authentic koreans in Frankfurt so far. You get a lot of side dishes (about 8) for ordering a main dish.

Every dish comes with 8 different sides and rice. Approved by authentic Korean (me) period.

The food was delicious. The staff are kind 🥰 Chủ quán người Hàn rất thân thiện, đồ ăn ngon.

Really delicious Korean food! The restaurant is full of people of Asian descent, which is always a good sign :)

Nothing will top this dinner. Best korean, or maybe in general food I’ve ever ate. Don’t miss this.

I ordered jiajang myun and found it to be delicious. It was brought quickly. Unfortunately, the reason I still have to deduct two stars is the treatment between guests and Korean guests. I myself was in South Korea for 5 weeks so I know what is usual. In Korea you are automatically brought water or even tea. I was also able to observe this with Mr. Lee, but unfortunately only with the Korean guests. Furthermore, I had the feeling that I was under constant surveillance. Admittedly I came straight from London. I slept on the plane and therefore didn't look very well groomed like the business people who might be regular guests there. I only got water when I asked (in Korean, mind you). But I find that a disgrace.

MAKE A RESERVATION!!! That’s the first recommendation! They accept credit card 😂 Got haemul pajeon, spicy pork, bulgogi and spicy beef soup. Their banchans were excellent and tasted like your mom cooked it for you. You can ask for more banchans but each item will be 1€ extra. They used pork belly for the spicy pork, it was bit oily as you finished the dish but it was nicely seasoned. The bulgogi was good, the meat was tender and moist, bit under seasoned though. Spicy beef soup was good and start your dinner with the haemul pajeon. It was perfectly cooked, crispy outside and delicious! Definitely a place to try if you are in Frankfurt and best Korean food I’ve had in Germany.

Looking at the prices displayed on the menu, I ordered stone pot bibimbap (17 euros) and kimchi pork belly (18 euros). It was not pork belly, but beef belly, so I had some left over after eating just one piece. After finishing the meal, when I was paying, I immediately said, “Oh, the price on the menu is the old price and it’s actually 38 euros, not 35.” He said. When taking an order, don't say anything and don't do business by harassing customers by backstabbing them when paying.

Best Korean restaurant in Frankfurt and highly recommended

An authentic Korean experience. The Doezi Bulgogi and Dolsotbibimbap are recommended

Very friendly service, the food was excellent! There were free side dishes for the main courses ordered. The kimchi tasted like it was in Korea.

I stopped by because I wanted to eat something spicy. Just like eating in real Korea I was able to eat proper Korean food! It was so delicious that I ate it while sweating. It tastes better than what my wife made. Reservation is essential.

Very tasty Korean food, great taste and a good selection. Friendly service and nice ambience.

Amazing Korean food, fresh, tasty and very well cooked

Kimchi hotpot, soft tofu, and stone pot bibimbap are all steamed Korean food~~~ It was the first steamed Korean food I had in 40 days. I recommend it

I go to Seoul very often for work and I can say that the food here are just as authentic as in Korea. My friend and I really enjoyed the food. The sweet fried chicken were so tender. The side dishes were also delicious and have wide varieties. We also had a spicy tofu soup and a cold noodle and they were equally awesome. (We forgot to take pictures of them.) I know it seems a lot to eat for two girls but because it was like a breakfast and lunch for us. Coming here is like visiting Korea. We are so happy that they did not adjust the original taste to suit the local germans which many other restaurants do and we hated it. The service was very prompt and we didn't wait long for the food. We were there at 12pm on a Saturday. But maybe it's better to make a reservation as the restaurant is not very big, maybe 7-10 tables. So glad that we found this gem. Will definitely go back again! Thank you for the nice food and job well done Mr. Lee!!

The food is ok, not top but also not bad

Absolutely delicious. We came without a reservation and got a seat thanks to the nice waiter. The food was on the table faster than I could blink and the taste was incredibly good! We will be back!

Overall traditional korean nice food but rather little portion. We don't eat beef but there are little choices for non beef eaters like us.

Nice people. Super Service. Delicious food. And reasonable prices

Takes getting used to, 1.20 by 1.50cm picture menus. Non-alcoholic drinks are very expensive. Bottle of water 0.7 costs €4, is completely over the top.

☻ It was the first Jjamppong I tried in Germany. It was nice to be able to eat a variety of side dishes after a long time. The quantity was plentiful and the taste was good. (Jjambbong had a sesame oil flavor, so it was a bit unique) I would like to try other foods as well. It was the first Jjamppong I tried in Germany.

I love Korean food a lot and always go out looking for the best Korean restaurant in town wherever I visit. Mr. Lee is the by far the best I have visited in Frankfurt.

I visited with a colleague who had never experienced Korean food before and I was very satisfied. They were friendly and the food was delicious! My co-worker said the chicken gangjeong was the best!! I really liked the side dishes too!! For me, Jjambbong was the most delicious!! If you are looking for a Korean restaurant in downtown Frankfurt, go here!! My colleagues say the Korean food is so good that they are 100% willing to visit again.

Extremely good food & very nice service!

Great and authentic korean food. Their bulgogi and ox tail stew is a must try. All side dishes are very tasty and the owner is kind enough to refill some for us too <3

100 points! If you want Korean food, come here! Most of the staff and customers are Korean 😍 I want to go again!

good food and really homey place too! prices were within reason, and a lot of dishes for sharing too. the kimchi was amazing!! loved it just make sure to get a reservation ahead of time to ensure you have seats.

Beef soup tastes a bit big and portion is small

It's hard to expect a lot of Korean flavor. Instead, the side dishes were delicious and the atmosphere was nice.

In my opinion, the offered lunch specials are the best lunch deal in town. You get multiple, varied banchan, a main, and tea or water for a great price. The food is delicious and service friendly even though they can get quite busy. If you're early and lucky, you might be able to just walk in, but safest to make a reservation.

I hadn't eaten properly all day, so I ordered kimchi stew and fried chicken and I was really full. In particular, the stew was not salty and delicious. The owner was also kind. I think reservations are required during peak evening hours..!

We discovered Mr. LEEs almost 20 yrs ago, we went there every few months then we had to leave in 2013, came back 2 yrs ago and discovered its still open. The food is top quality, Service is awesome and you couldn't ask for better atmosphere unless you were in Korea. Don't go here with out reservations, the are a must. Don't go here expecting to get Japanese, Chinese or Thai food you will be disappointed they only serve Traditional Korean food of the finest quality.

In my opinion the best Korean in Frankfurt. Traditional Korean home cooking. Very authentic.

All the staff were really kind. Fast service with delicious food. You can ask take away and still side dishes are all included without any additional fee. Super close from the station. It tastes just like the one I had in Korea. The service was fast and the owner and staff were all very friendly. While eating in the hall, I asked for an additional take-out order, and when I said I was eating at the hotel, they even provided me with separate chopsticks!

I heard it was the best Korean restaurant in Frankfurt, so I had dinner there with my business trip colleagues. Rabokki, seafood and green onion pancakes, bossam, seasoned fish, monkfish stew, fried chicken... and even side dishes like cabbage kimchi, I'm so happy to try proper Korean food for the first time in 3 months. The owner, who took over my father-in-law's family business and runs a wonderful restaurant, is also very kind. Close to the central station, easy to access when arriving and departing Frankfurt.

Very very tasty and authentic food! The service is very polite and the restaurant is the ideal size. We will be back :)

Pro: The Lunch is soooo amazing and very delicious. Tip: Do reservations

The food is amazing the kimchi soup was great flavour and enough for two persons the service is also very very good

It's hard to find a place like this in Pupunae.

Jinro, Sero, and Chamisul are all available.

Yukgaejang and stone pot bibimbap are exactly the taste of Korea. For dinner, make a reservation in advance by phone.

Absolutely fantastic food and service. If you're into Korean food, it doesn't get better than that.

I think it would be better not to order the Chinese restaurant menu. I think it would be better to focus on menu items that have been praised in other reviews. I visited Junghwaru instead of Junghwaru after being recommended by a guide, but was very disappointed. The service and atmosphere of the store itself were good, but the jjajangmyeon didn't taste good at all.

They close too early at 20:30 (but on the website it says it closes at 21:30).

In my opinion the best korean restaurant in Germany. Authentic & good food

Frankfurt Korean restaurant. Mr. Lee I visited after making a phone reservation. It is adjacent to Main Jungang Station and has good accessibility. I had seafood and green onion pancakes, kimchi hot pot, Osam bulgogi, and wheat beer for dinner. The seafood and green onion pancake was a bit disappointing. There was more flour than seafood, so it was like a pancake. I enjoyed the kimchi hotpot and Osam bulgogi. There weren't many Korean restaurants before, but when I went this time, there were a lot of Korean restaurants.

very good food i especially loved the chicken it was so delicious i had a very good time there but it was a little cold

We were lured by the great reviews and were not disappointed! We reserved a table for the evening and were warmly welcomed. We had the crispy chicken as a starter and then the kimchi stew with pork belly and tofu as well as the bulgogi. There were also 8 side dishes, all of which were incredibly tasty. The service was very friendly and attentive. My friend asked for extra spicy because he likes it extremely spicy.. when I tried it I almost fell off my stool hahahaha. The basement immediately provided me with water. All in all, a great restaurant visit with authentic Korean food.

After preliminary research, I went to this restaurant specifically to enjoy my family's cuisine. The choice of food is large and yet I found it irritating that you couldn't get the famous "Army Stew". Additionally, we couldn't change the meat choice for another stew, which I can't understand. I ended up having the noodles with the black bean paste and the taste of the dish was good, although the paste was a bit too mild for my taste. I also tried some Dakgalbi, which tasted very good. The several small side dishes are typically Korean and the authenticity is very much there. In terms of price, it is rather expensive for the number of portions, although the several small side dishes have to be taken into account. All in all a good experience.

Incredible Korean food in probably the one of the best food cities in Europe. We flew all the way from London’s fairly mediocre Korean food scene and enjoyed our fill on some of the incredible dishes they have to offer. We ordered the fried chicken and black bean noodles and everything was made to perfection, just the sort of home cooked feeling we needed. Definitely returning again on our next visit!

Das Essen sind super 👍🏼 Obwohl der Platz nicht so groß ist,wird trotz die Atmosphäre angenehm und am besten erst reservieren wenn ihr für Abendessen hier will. Der Platz und WC sind sauber. Die Mitarbeiter sind freundlich. Bin zufrieden und wurde gerne nochmal hier essen. 🤗

Wir waren mit einer größeren Gruppe zum Essen da. Ich kann nur sagen lecker. Das Essen hat mir Lust auf mehr gemacht. Ich komme auf jeden Fall wieder. Für meinen Geschmack war es nicht zu scharf. Aber das muß jeder für sich selbst rauszufinden. Die Beilagen waren auch super lecker. 매우 감사합니다 für das leckere Essen. Ich komme auf jeden Fall wieder.

The food here is very authentic and the way they serve is also very Korean. The service is super friendly, especially when you can speak some Korean. They have the best tea I've ever had, which is Yulmucha I think, it's nutty and creamy. My friend had a corn tea and it's super tasty too, they are all homemade. I will definitely come back to try more dishes! Highly recommend.

Sehr authentisches, koreanisches Restaurant. Wir waren fünf Personen und fanden alle das Essen sehr lecker. Absolute Empfehlung!

한국보다 더 한국적인 맛! 친절하시고 한국 음식이 정말 괜찮습니다 강추!!

The food was a bit on the salty side and it lacked a bit of the authentic flavor. However the staff was very friendly and the place was nicely decorated with old Korean charm.

김치전골 왜 먹으라는지 너무 이해됨 너무너무 맛있어요ㅠ 한국 그대로의 맛.... 1. 밥 추가로 안시켜도 됨 (유럽 전역의 한식당 다니면서 여기가 처음) 2. 반찬 여러개 나오는 곳도 많이 없는데 여기 반찬 존맛탱임... 3. 물 3유로 큰 건 6유로 입니다! 아 !!!! 그리구 !!!!! 평일 저녁 마감 한 30분전쯤 갔는데 만석이었고, 저희 1자리 5-10분정도 기다려서 앉았어요. 미리 주문했구요! 음식은 금방 금방 나옵니다!! 여유롭게 시간내서 꼭 !!!! 가시길 바랍니다 여기가고 김치 갈증 해소했어요. 너무너무너무너무 맛있었어요...

맛있어요 반찬도 8개나 나오는데 다 맛있어요ㅜ특히 김치가 엄청 맛있었어요! 저희 어무니도 순두부찌개 맛있다고 하면서 드시더라구요 저녁에 갔는데 예약손님으로 가득차서 예약하고 가시는게 좋을 거 같습니다!

Super friendly and quick service, great tasting food a wee bit on the higher cost but of enough quality to justify its price.

유럽 여러 나라 한국 식당을 가보았지만, 이곳만큼 맛있는 곳은 없었어요. 반찬이 무려 여덟 가지나 나오네요. 현지화가 전혀 안 된 오리지널 한국 맛입니다. 사장님도 유쾌하고 멋집니다.

와 🤩 닭갈비랑 육개장 먹었는데 진짜 맛있었어요. 반찬도 8가지나 나오고, 간도 삼삼하니 천연 그대로의 맛을 느낄 수 있고요. 닭갈비는 불맛과 고춧가루가 함께 어우러져 맵지 않은데 특유의 식감과 불맛이 너무 좋았어요! 육개장은 오랫동안 끓일 때만 느껴지는 가정식 그대로의 덜 자극적인 맛이 최고였습니다. 예약 추천하고요, 만약 못 하셨으면 오픈런 추천해요. 11시 35분에 도착했는데 이미 두 테이블에 사람이 있던건 안 비밀 🫢ㅋ

My favorite Korean restaurant in FFM. Every menu is solid and the owner is really nice. I recommend making a reservation. 지금까지 순두부, 자장면, 육계장, 김치전, 닭강정, 만두, 냉면 먹어봤는데 다 맛있어요.

사장님께서 구수하시고 친절하세요. 식사도 좋았습니다. 한국에서 먹던 밥 그대로 입니다.

Man hat uns erst einmal am Eingang 15 Mintuen lang ignoriert - nachdem man uns gefragt hatte, wieviele Personen wir seien. Es gab schon freie Tische. Das war seltsam! Das Essen ist zwar sehr lecker, aber auch sehr teuer. Ein einfacher Kimchi-Pfannkuchen kostet z.B. schon €18. Seltsam! Preise übertrieben - paßen nicht zum Gesamt-Paket. Dafür, daß das Restaurant/die Einrichtung nicht besonders toll, schön ist, und der Service etwas hakt, stimmt hier das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis leider nicht. Fazit: Essen schmeckt. Werde aber wohl nicht mehr hingehen, weil das Gesamt-Paket nicht paßt - zu teuer. Schade!
