Restaurant Korea in Frankfurt am Main

Always a top address for good, authentic food.

The jajangmyeon tastes completely different than I imagined—until now, I've only ever tasted the instant version from the supermarket. I really appreciate the care taken here, and I especially like how clean everything is. The staff is friendly and provides excellent customer service. What impressed me was the traditional Korean family meal. The kimchi soup was pleasantly sour and smelled of tomatoes. The pork was a bit tough, but I think I'll definitely come back to try more.

We traveled all the way from Munich to eat in this Restaurant, because we heard from several friends that it's "THE Korean Restaurant" in Germany. Well.. they didn't lie. 10/10 stars. This restaurant is way better than what we have in Munich.

Personally, I think this restaurant is the best Korean restaurant in Germany. All the dishes are delicious, and the chef is also very nice. ;)

I got to know Mr. Lee while traveling and I enjoyed the delicious Korean food...🤗

This is authentic, flavorful Korean food! It's truly worth appreciating, as the owner puts his whole heart into preparing authentic dishes. You'll feel not only full but also cared for – thanks to the welcoming owners and friendly service.

Hello, boss and chef! I visited here a few years ago and wanted to leave a review to say thank you and show my support🙏🏻I've lived abroad in many countries and lived in Germany for 10 years, and my hobby is finding Korean restaurants. This is the best Korean restaurant I've ever been to. Above all, the owner was so kind (even though it was our first time meeting, I felt like I was meeting a kind elderly relative after a long timeㅠㅠ I felt like I was being comforted by my tiring life abroad), and the food was all neat and delicious! The side dishes were also really, really delicious, so I ate everything!! ㅠㅠ The bossam tasted exactly like the one you eat in Korea, without any of the smell of German pork! The pickled radish that comes with the bossam? Is that what they call it? The savory flavor of the radish marinated in that sauce is unforgettable, even after all these years. I also ordered a stew, but the broth was...👍🏻 Since visiting Mr. Lee, I've been to at least 10 Korean restaurants, but none surpass Mr. Lee :) Over the years since, I've recommended Mr. Lee to countless gatherings and friends, calling it a rare find even in Korea! (Quite a few people have been there on my recommendation, and everyone, regardless of age or gender, has been delighted and said they enjoyed their meal!) I just recommended Mr. Lee to a Czech friend, and suddenly realized I hadn't left a review, so I'm writing this now... I recently read all the reviews, and it's clear this restaurant is consistently loved! Thank you for the consistently delicious food! These days in Germany, there are a lot of foreigners running fancy Korean restaurants and selling unidentifiable Korean food... In the midst of all this, thank you for always making authentic Korean food in the same place, providing it at a good price, and being so kind :) Next time I have time, I'm going to go to Frankfurt to visit Mr. Lee...!! I always support you. Thank you. May you always prosper🙏🏻!!

The side dishes are varied and delicious 😋 Doganijjim/Je-yuk-bossam/Dak-gangjeong

Great Korean restaurant. We had two appetizers and a main course and were very impressed. The food came quickly and was delicious. It's best to make a reservation.

Authentic and delicious Korean food. The owner is very nice.

If you want to eat authentic Korean food, go there. It's so delicious 🥰

The owner is very nice, the food is delicious, the accompanying side dishes and tea are also very good, and the price is reasonable. I will definitely come again.

The food at this restaurant made me feel like I was back in Korea, so authentic! The kimchi stew, Mandu, and black bean noodles were incredibly tasty. If I ever return to Frankfurt I’ll definitely come back to this place!

I came to Germany and went to a Korean restaurant... I'm on vacation~ I'm so sad... ㅠㅠㅠ

I went with a friend for dinner. Each single bite takes us back to Korea. Flavors, ingredients, and portions were outstanding. The staff was very kind. The restaurant was comfortable and clean. Highly recommend!🔝👌🏻

An unassuming shop from the outside, it surprises with delicious and authentic Korean food inside. I had fried kimchi with pork belly and tofu, served with rice and eight small side dishes. The portion was huge and highly recommended! It's best to make a reservation in advance, as the restaurant is quite busy even in the early evening.

Fantastic and authentic food. The prices, quality, and portions are fair, and the staff is experienced and dedicated to providing the best experience. A definite recommendation for anyone looking to try something new.

Perfect . Excellent and swift service, super nice owner. The starters alone are worth the visit. And so far we liked every dish we tried.

A very good, authentic Korean restaurant. A wide selection of dishes, very fresh and perfectly seasoned. The service is very attentive and friendly. The prices are fair. The ambiance is typical of a Korean restaurant. I would definitely be happy to return and can recommend Mr. Lee without reservation.

Korean food after a long time...

I come to Frankfurt often and finally went to this famous restaurant.. Since you can only make reservations by phone I couldn't make reservations in advance from Korea.ㅠㅠ Osam Bulgogi's squid was soft and tender, it was crazy. Sundubu Jjigae seems to be seafood-based, but it's so savory. I've been to many Korean restaurants overseas, but it always tasted 2% lacking or felt like foreigners clumsily imitating Korean food. This place definitely wins compared to any Korean restaurant in Korea.

The owner was a bit rude but the food was very authentic and well prepared- the assortment of bangchans were especially nice!

It specializes in Korean food. I was able to eat there without a reservation, but honestly, I have never had kimchi stew like this in Korea. I highly recommend it.

Truly amazing food! Very busy, so be sure to reserve in advance! Friendly service despite the high volume. Dishes cost between €18-30, but they're definitely worth it! We'll be back😊

It was already an excellent Korean restaurant in Frankfurt, but I can feel that it is improving. Six people shared 9-10 dishes, and all the food was so delicious that everyone in the group unanimously praised it. One of the people who thought that Bukchang-dong Sundubu was the best among Korean restaurants abroad said that now his number one Korean restaurant abroad has changed, and that if it had the same taste and quality in Korea, he would go far away to eat there.

This is a great restaurant near the central station. First of all, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is nice. And the owner is kind. I highly recommend it.

A very authentic Korean restaurant with delicious food. Super friendly service, everything was perfect!

Mr Lee is an institution of good taste

There were a lot of side dishes like in Korea, and the kimchi stew and yukgaejang were both delicious. The owner was also kind.

Very tasty, authentic cuisine. We went here for dinner and ordered a few dishes from the sharing menu. The noodles with brown sauce and pork belly and the fried chicken were particularly delicious.

It's simply fantastic here! Authentic Korean cuisine and very tasty. The staff is also very polite and attentive. Plus, the value for money is good. We've been here several times and would love to come back. We definitely recommend it! Addition: Mr Lee is now one of our regular restaurants and it's still as great as ever! Thanks to Mr Lee for the great evenings and food 😊

So friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. I tried a different one after that, but next time I'll take this one again. The little dishes in the middle come with all the main courses I think. Delicious, crunchy really yummy!! Im so happy my friend introduced me to this gem.

Best Korean restaurant in Frankfurt! Very authentic. Super delicious food. 100% recommended!

Honestly, I don't know if the food is delicious.

It's so deliciousㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠIt's more delicious than Korea. It's been so long since I've had Korean food, so I wanted to eat it, and I'm so glad I came.

Do not forget to make a reservation! We unfortunately didn’t know it is recommended, but when we showed up the owner told us to came after an hour and we managed to have dinner. He was really kind! We ordered mandu 🥟, jajjangmyeong (noodles with black beans) and calamari with vegetables (very spicy!). We enjoyed our orders very much and were super full and happy after dinner. We loved it!

It's more delicious than Korean restaurants!!! The owner is also kind and I recommend it for many reasons👍👍 I was especially impressed by the high-quality side dishes that came outㅜㅜ

The evening at Mr. Lee's was great. Apart from the geographical location and the unavoidable gauntlet through the Bahnhofsviertel (train station district), there's little to complain about. (The solution to this problem, however, is up to someone else.) The food was truly excellent – ​​we had mandu, sweet and spicy chicken, the Korean pizza, various appetizers that seem to always be available, spicy squid, roasted pork belly, Korean short ribs, Korean shank, ox knee soup, and much more. 6 of us went for a good €240, including beer, soju, and food coma, and we were all very satisfied. The sweet and spicy chicken (pictured) and the short ribs are especially recommended!

Visited this restaurant with a few Korean colleagues while passing by Frankfurt. It was a short 7min walk from the train station. I had the kimchi jjigae and we ordered the ojingo bokkeum to share. My colleagues' naengmyeon took almost 30mins to serve, and the other dishes they had were just okay.

My mouth is still watering. 5/5! Would roll home again...

I almost went back without making a reservation. I was glad I managed to get a seat. The taste and service are much better than most restaurants in Korea. I hope you continue to prosper every day.

it is delicious. It's a bit sweet and salty, but I don't think it tastes that good compared to other Korean restaurants in Germany.

Excellent home-cooked Korean meal~ The side dishes are really delicious

It was the day before the Easter holiday and I hadn't made a reservation, but fortunately the owner showed me that there was a table available. I ordered kimchi hotpot and grilled mackerel, and it was the most Korean-style food I've had while living in Europe for a month👍 Even the hot barley tea was perfect!

Soft tofu stew, beef jerky, and Osam bulgogi are all delicious. All the side dishes are delicious too. The owner was also very friendly, which was nice.

By far one of the best Korean restaurants in Frankfurt. Quite inconspicuous from the outside, but service & food were a 12/10. I would definitely like to come back.

Cute Korean restaurant! The food is good, above average but not exceptional good. But for the quality and atmosphere the prices are really high. A simple noodle dish for 18€? Then I expect an amazing meal, not just above average. Nevertheless if you want to try an authentic Korean restaurant, this is probably a good address!

Very authentic restaurant. You feel like you're in Korea. The service was super sweet and nice. For lunch you get as much warm tea as you want. The banchan are delicious and the selection of typical Korean dishes is large. I recommend the Jjajangmyeon. The kimchi pancake is very soft, which wasn't really my thing. I like it more crunchy.

I ate the spicy pork belly dish at Mr. Lee in Frankfurt. The meat was well seasoned, tender and had a pleasant spiciness. The sauce was balanced and not too dominant, the spring onions and onions went well with it. There was also a wide selection of banchan (Korean side dishes), including kimchi, spinach, bean sprouts, fried fish cakes, marinated tofu and pickled vegetables. The side dishes were varied and fresh, some of them pleasantly spicy, others rather mild. The guest room is simply furnished, the service is friendly and unobtrusive. If you like Korean food and are looking for authentic, down-to-earth food, you will find it here.

Among the many Korean restaurants in Pupu, this is by far the best side dish. The restaurant where you can taste the least amount of seasoning!!! The owner is also really nice, and if someone asks me to recommend a Korean restaurant, I always go here. The only regret is that there is no dedicated parking lot because it is in the city, but because it is in the city, there are a lot of cars coming and going, so you end up finding a parking lot!

Thank you for the good food and service

Authentic, delicious. Decorated in a rather rustic style.

I visited alone because I wanted to eat soft tofu stew, and the side dishes and soft tofu were delicious. I felt a deep, non-irritating taste. It's such a popular restaurant that you don't have to make a reservation, but fortunately the male owner gave us a table so we had a delicious meal.

Very authentic Korean restaurant with super tasty dishes and lots of side dishes. The service is excellent and the interior design is very well chosen.

As a Korean I can confirm this place has the authentic touch ✨

Really good Korean food. And also the first Korean restaurant to have Bossam on the menu. The soup was also extremely tasty and the side dishes were a very good balance to the food.

It's nice genuin korean restaurant in general, not sure about the price considered the portion. Soup was good tho. Side dishes are charged when you re-order it. It's still good option if you look for a korean restaurant in the city

Cozy restaurant with authentic Korean dishes and well-displayed appetising home-made side dishes! The waiter is very nice and accommodating! Tip: Samgaetang has to be pre-ordered in advance.

The chicken noodle soup for Friday's lunch was delicious, from side dishes to noodles, and very cost-effective. Apart from the location being a little out of the way and the decoration inside the store being average, there were no obvious shortcomings.

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. In Frankfurt, I always passed by it when I arrived at the end of my trip, so I never looked at it in depth or stayed for a long time, but this was the first time I stayed 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. The mystery is by far the best. You can say that it is more delicious than Korean restaurants. Because it is a local ingredient, it would be difficult to reproduce the complete Korean style. 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.^^

A treasure of colorful and delicious side dishes! Needless to say, the main dish is good, and the side dishes are not only assorted, but it feels like they put a lot of thought into each and every one of them. The quantity is plentiful and the composition is very good!

Picked up place near the central station, with authentic Korean food. The dishes are delicious and abundant, in addition to coming with rice and other accompaniments. The service is very pleasant and the atmosphere is calm. The fried chicken and bulgogi are recommended, especially if you don't want to have too much spicy food.

I want to eat Korean food🇰🇷 I ordered sundubu. It's delicious with lots of seafood ◎ Share the chicken. The taste that Japanese people like! It comes with rice, and I'm so satisfied with the amount of appetizers 🙆‍♀️

Very good Korean food with authentic taste. Good value for money.

Excellent spread for Korean food, table booking is a must.

Hello, we were here for the first time because my daughter wanted Korean food and we were just thrilled

Very, very tasty and authentic food! The lunch menu for just €12 including tea is simply fantastic and, in my opinion, very cheap for what you get.

The food was not bad but the restaurant has a lot of free space and is well decorated. The waiter is a very nice person and polite. A good restaurant to spend time with family or friends and enjoy Korean food

Marvelous food! The best Korean restaurant in Frankfurt, possibly Germany. And the owner is super nice, let me had a quick dinner without reservation even when its fully booked.

I went without a reservation, but the kind-hearted owner allowed me to eat it quickly, and the kimchi stew was so delicious. Thank you for your consideration. I will definitely visit again next time.

I went to see Ppu and they accepted me even though I went without a reservation. The food was really, really delicious. It tastes better than other restaurants in Korea. How could the grilled mackerel be so savory and delicious? Above all, I went with my 5-year-old children, and I was very grateful that they were so attentive and considerate, even taking care of the children's dishes and water cups.

Had samyupsal, juicy meat and a Great variety of Banchan

I happened to visit this Korean restaurant while on a business trip to Germany. It's the best Korean food I've eaten abroad. ~👍👍 It seems like it would be a big hit if you do business in Korea~😆 The owner is friendly and reservations are a must.🖐️

Delicious, will definitely visit again!

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!

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 🤗

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

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.

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.

Authentic, delicious, sociable!
