Seoul Garden (im Prenzlauer Berg) in Berlin

The dishes were delicious (the bulgogi is a treat) and the servers were so friendly

Way better than I thought it would be.

I've been to Korean restaurants in many countries. As for the atmosphere, this place is really nice!! The outdoor terrace is large and comfortable!! The serving staff was also very friendly. Bibimbap and pork rice bowl taste great The duck kimchi and cabbage soup as side dishes were delicious!

The spicy barbecue is really spicy. The food in general is very good and tasty.

The food here was very good. The service is fast and friendly. The atmosphere is average. It's a great place to get good food without all the frills... Seating is limited so there could be a short wait. Overall it was a very good experience and I would recommend.

Good Asian restaurants are not something anyone associates with Berlin and the Seoul Garden in Oderberger Straße is no exception. After growing up in the Asian region I was keen to try Seoul Kitchen. The restaurant always seemed full, and the reviews were positive. Alas, the food was totally uninteresting. I eventually abandoned my chilli squid, which was just a mess of hot chilli sauce, rice, lots of onions and a few pieces of small squid thrown in. My companions did fare much better with their dishes, reporting their meals as super bland. We did not try the BBQ options. Unlike other reviewers, I was also not really convinced about the service. The servers were friendly enough. But we had to ask twice for someone to clear away the dishes.

Tasty and reasonably priced Korean food made with fresh ingredients. Plenty of vegetarian options to choose from. A large group of us (11 people) visited for lunch on a weekday without a reservation and had no trouble being served. Service was great.

The food is excellent but omg the service 🥺🥺🥺. Go for good food but don’t expect to leave happy. Thoroughly depressing.

The food was definitely not worth suffering the terrible service.

Super tasty and friendly service

I went there by chance because the place seemed nice to me and I was not disappointed! I had the lunch dish for only 14 euros with a large quantity of food. The flavors were present. I therefore recommend this place! However, it is necessary to wave at the waiters several times to order, which can be a bit unpleasant.

everything was amazing especially the seafood soup and the rice with fried squid

Good food and good price. Nice enough setting but probably better to come later in the afternoon / in the evening for the atmosphere as a bit quiet after lunch

Extremely delicious. Good prices.

I went to eat with a work-related group, and it was really delicious and the space was better than expected, so I had a great time. The food was really neat and delicious. They even sell grilled pork belly. There were a lot of people, so I ate inside, but there was a soccer game on the day I went, so there were people at the outdoor tables. There were a lot. The outdoor table atmosphere looks really nice. Next time, I want to go personally and sit outside and eat!

Original Korean specialties at reasonable prices

Best meal I have had in a long time. BBQ perfect for a summer’s evening. Service was quick, friendly efficient. Would totally recommend

Great lunch menu at a fair price. Outside seating is nicely laid out Bibimbap tastes excellent

Very tasty and very attractively served. With a gas grill on the table, if you want.

I will never come back again. You have no clue how rule the staff could be.

mini portions and the staff sometimes forgets to tend to their guests. a random guitarist also came by to play, only to demand money from everyone eating there and the staff didn't do anything about it (probably because it was a bit busier, i don't blame them for this)

After ten years in LA living with a myriad of Korean restaurant options it’s hard to be without! Seoul Garden really did take me back in a way - great banchan, actually nicely spicy kimchis, very good veggie pancake with super affable kind service. So far this is the best Korean food I’ve had in Berlin :) I do wish they’d have a few of my other favorite dishes - Ojingeo-bokkeum, Sujebi and Kalguksu - but maybe they will read this and add them.. 😂

Very kind and friendly, delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere

First of all, the dishes are a mess. If you touch the area around the soup bowl with your hand, the stains are still there, and the stains are still there on both sides of the plate. The stir-fried pork and sundae soup smelled like pork, so I kept eating and spitting it out, and then I just left it all. Only go if you don't mind being dirty and don't mind the fishy smell of pork.

I love Asian food but somehow never ate Korean before. I loved it. Great food at a good price

Super good, get the D2!! Best one

In principle, I love Asian cuisine and everything just came together here - the service is good, the food is good, and the presentation is good. Unfortunately, I haven’t been to Seoul, but it seems to me that the food in this place is as close as possible to the original.

We sat there for 30 minutes, everyone who came after us was served first. The waitress even pointed out ubs to a customer on another table!!

After waiting for 30 minutes and repeatedly drawing attention to ourselves, we unfortunately weren't served and ended up leaving the restaurant without eating. Very bad service. I will no longer be a guest there.

I was here for dinner on a weekend. I ordered bulgogi for one person. Although this place is famous in the region, I have to say that I found the taste below the Berlin average. The meat was quite tough and not particularly tasty. I wanted to replace the rice with rice noodles but was told that wasn't possible. The rice had a completely neutral taste. The kimchi on the side was almost non-existent 😅This really surprised me because Korean restaurants are usually very generous in this regard.

Cozy and fast... You can sit inside and outside, it's beautiful when it arrive. It's around 15€ each dish but i would say it's worth to try. Accept card and is full on the weekends

Friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere, and excellent food! Pricing was also more than fair for what you receive in terms of quantity and quality. The place was very busy around 8:00 p.m. on a Saturday night, so consider getting a reservation :) But even without one, the wait was approx. 15 min. for a table for two. A spontaneous decision for dinner and an immediate favorite for us! We'll be back for sure!

The bibimbap was quite nice but not as hot as I hoped while being served in hot bowl.

We ordered (1) seafood tofu soup which was tasteless; (2) spicy squid rice with almost no-squid pieces; (3) beef steak for grilling, meats weren’t very fresh. Side dishes were tasty and rice was well cooked. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant/branch in Prenzlauerberg, not worth for what you paid ( but the original one at Charlottenburg was good.)

Very friendly service, hyper spicy dishes without this being specified, difficult to finish your plate. Very salty soup that lacks finesse. Otherwise nice presentation of the dishes.

Korean BBQ and other delicious Korean dish. Well attended, I think you should make a reservation on the weekend. Food is good, service is nice... gladly again

What an tasty authentic Restaurant! My friend from Seoul „Taste Just like in Seoul…even better!“ We had dagkalbi and kimichi soup. Soo good!

This is the place I go when I miss Korean food. It's clean and delicious :)

we ordered two bibimbap’s (one classic and one with tofu) it was sooo good that we just inhaled it in silence(yeah thats right) we also got a soup and 4 banchan’s (side dishes) that blew ours minds!( especially the sweet potatoes ones) highly recommended for a nice date or just for a meeting with fresh or family! my top 10 places in Berlin

Shame on you Seoul Garden. We called to book a table for 5 people at this place on 19th of July, 2024. We reserved our place for 19.00 and arrived at 19.20. We have seen our name on the table we booked and sat to wait for service. The waitress came and first acknowledged. Then she came again to tell us that we have to get up and wait despite the reservation because we are late (No letting us know that we should call even if we are late for 20 mins, no calling us to check why we are late). We explained to her that this is unacceptable and rude to get someone leave the table and wait. We sat there for 20-25 mins and they never attended us. We then checked and they said they won’t serve. I have never seen such ridicilous and rude behavior in my life anywhere. Not sure about the food because we did not deserve to taste :) Definitely not coming back and will actively share the story.

Generous serving for what you pay and strong flavours. Generous serving of sesame oil with their beef and rice. Hardworking service staff and they serve tap water if you’re environmentally conscious.

My absolute favorite restaurant!! I particularly like the many side dishes that come with the meal. Can't compete with other Korean restaurants. Fantastic food at a great price on a beautiful street with friendly service. What more do you want?

We had a group meeting of about 15 people on Friday evening. The place was set up perfectly for a meeting. The food was absolutely delicious too! I ordered salmon raw rice bowl and my companion ordered chicken rib rice bowl. I was satisfied with the fresh salmon and vegetables and plenty of toppings. There is a variety of menus such as rice bowls, stews, and noodle soup, so I recommend it if you are craving Korean food.

One of the worst food, soup comes with finger thick oil and plastic particles in it. Moreover, tries to scare people by suing for honest and factual reviews. No wonder this place has high rating.

The dish I got was described in the menu as rice with oyster mushrooms and champignons, vegetables and tofu (M9). Sounded all good until I got what I got. 😞 Massive amounts of rice, 2 small thin slices of carrots, less than one oyster mushroom cut in slices, no champignons, massive amounts of tofu and onions. The proper description of what I got would be: A plate of rice with tofu and onions with half oyster mushroom as garnish. No kidding! See the picture attached. The pink thing is the rice… no vegetables… minimal amount of mushrooms… lots of rice…lots of onions… 😔

This is a Korean restaurant I go to every time I stop by Berlin. The overall taste is pretty good, so you won't go wrong no matter what menu you order. The staff were friendly and I had a pleasant meal.

This is a great place to stop by when you want to eat Korean food while traveling! It was nice to be able to taste spicy Korean flavor amid greasy Western food. If I travel again, I think I will come back to eat Korean food when I feel like it!

They delete all negative reviews. The ratings are manipulated like any other Korean restaurant.

Food is great! Bulgogi set was delicious and more than filling. Dinner time is super busy and getting attention of the servers was difficult. Sadly there were only two of them serving a large crowd so it's understandable. Missed a part of my order. Atmosphere is okay, seating outside is fun if the weather is good.

Ordered bimbimbap, although the beef wasn't bad, the rice was really mushy. You pay an extra euro to get the bimbimbap in a bowl, but it isn't even a stone bowl rather some kind of plastic.

I wrote an honest review, but they reported my review to Google as defamation and deleted it. This is the secret to maintaining ratings here. Haha, there were definitely a few more negative reviews before mine, but they all disappeared. This is absurd. If you keep requesting that the review be deleted, we will take legal action. And we will spread it to other communities as well. Everyone already knows, but why bother making enemies? If you're going to give it a try, keep doing it. If you stay still, you can go halfway

Delicious Korean food. The menus come in lots of small bowls. Really something special.

Culinary delicacies in beautiful surroundings! Very tasty, generous portions and courteous service!

You can sit nicely, but both the service and the food leave a lot to be desired.

Not authentic Korean. Run by Vietnamese. Therefore the dishes are slightly different. Still with ok food and ambience. You can do it. But not worth repeating.

Tucked in at the south of the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark and sitting west of Schönhauser Allee, this Beer garden housed over 600 seats in a courtyard surrounded by Chestnut trees. I believe it holds the title of Berlin’s oldest Beer garden! The set-up was great - a simple self service concept with local Beer being charged at around €5 per 0.5l (each glass carried an additional €2 fee, which you were reimbursed for if you returned the glass with an issued red token). The seating was comfortable enough - standard wooden picnic tables, some of which were sheltered and others exposed (luck of the draw). There were televisions showing the Football but they were spread out quite sporadically and unfortunately, during our visit, there were technical issues. A mass exodus occurred until an Electrician saved the day, getting the main projector in the tent to work. We managed to get a seat inside it but it was like an oven! Managed to get some food during the visit as well and the popular choice was the Shank on a bed of Sauerkraut. Look at the photo - it pretty much sums up how good it was! Well worth the €10 cost. Definitely a contender for our favourite Beer stop, out with the fan zone. A bit of air conditioning and a more reliable TV system would have seen a five rating, but a respectable 4/5 nonetheless.

Waren dort zum EM Fußball, super Stimmung gut organisiert. Haxe war stabil aber nix besonderes. Liegt gut, kann man jederzeit machen.

The food was okay so far. In the original, everything is a little heartier. The furnishings are a bit spartan.

Of all the Korean restaurants I've been to, the quality of pork belly was most similar to what you get in Korea.

Vi fandt stedet en varm eftermiddag i juni. Vi bestilte en fadøl og en radler fra fad. Der er to euro i pant pr. glas. Det var muligt at sidde både i solen og i skyggen. Man må ikke tage egne drikkevarer og mad. Børnene løb rundt og legede mellem bordene og det er et virkelig hyggeligt sted at slappe af med en øl. De har mad, men udvalget er ikke ret stort eller vegetarvenligt. Men de har gode pretzels.

When in Berlin, do as the locals do... Clearly this place is a local favourite. Such an awesome vibe on a late-Spring evening. The place is a hive of activity and conversation, lines for beers, lines for a sausage, lines to return the glasses... Of course, I had to join the lines. It was a warm evening but beer was cold... and with mustard + tomato sauce dripping off the plate, I had a good time people-watching while eating sausage on a roll.

Amazing place for korean Food, you wont regret it!

The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The service however is one of the worst I've experienced in Berlin (considering how bad it can be in Berlin). We've been here when the restaurant was quite busy. The waiters pause taking orders in such cases, instead of keep taking them and letting the kitchen pace themselves. As a result, ordering takes ages, tables who came after us ordered before, calling a waiter and ask anything also requires more attempts, since they often seem to avoid looking at the customers at all, almost avoiding them. The tables around us were also visibly frustrated with the service, with some customers canceling orders and complaining which made the whole lunch even more a negative experience.

the waiters are clueless and can not provide a simple service of taking orders. They asked us to wait when we are already seated and refused to take our orders because “their kitchen is full”. Have absolutely no knowledge in how restaurants services work and save yourself the time there are plenty of other Korean restaurants out there that respects their customers with better food.

This place is amazing. The food was absolutely delicious. It blew my mind!

Nice food, just a bit too oily, but try flavour were really nice. The service was fast but a bit cold. We got our foods really fast but not at the same time. They have nice beers. Overall, a nice pace

When we first came to the entrance at Kastanienallee 7-9, we thought the beer garden must be closed. There was construction garbage along the sidewalk and no clear sign until you get directly in front. Then you see a small sign standing beyond the construction fence. The Prater is undergoing construction of its restaurant . You walk a good distance to the back to get to the beer garden and its picnic tables. We ordered a large and small beer and also a pretzel. You pay a 2E returnable deposit for the glass beer mugs. Beer was delicious and it was was relaxing to sit there after a very long walk. They have clean bathrooms in the back of the food concessions.

The food and ambiance is excellent. Hands down the best Korean food I had in Europe, and very reasonably priced. Also a nice and lively neighbourhood. If you don’t know what to order have bibimbap, you will not be disappointed. Tip! After eating delicious Korean food you can get a nice icecream next door 😉

highly recommend. I will definitely come back

I visit here very often and it is my favorite Korean restaurant in Berlin! :))

Personally, I was very disappointed. The place was dreary, too small, freezing cold, and gave a rather dingy impression. There were 5 of us and then we split up. The three who stayed thought the food was okay. Korean is not for everyone. I found €70 for 3 people quite expensive considering it was more like a bistro than a fine dining restaurant. The staff was lovely, very kind and accommodating. Unfortunately, they hardly spoke German. No problem if you speak English, but if you rely on German you will have a slight language problem. I wouldn't recommend it. But that's a matter of taste 😊

The food was delicious and cheap, we would love to come back

Good food. Horrible service like seriously so bad, they weren’t rude just had no idea how to run service. Food is still good for normal prices so I will go back but please up your service game…….

I was craving authentic Korean food while traveling through Europe. The ingredients in the foods are scant, and the food is not authentic. We had kimchi soup and bibimbap. The little side soup that came with bibimbap was 1/4 full of the bowl. The kimchi soup barely had any kimchi in it. The rice was not cooked properly. The portion of the vegetables to the rice in the bibimbap was appropriate. Furthermore, the owner of the restaurant doesn’t seem to like Korean customers? He was rude to us from the beginning and we couldn’t understand why. The other servers were attentive and nice. If you want delicious Korean food, I wouldn't recommend this place. This is a Korean restaurant that mainly caters to German customers. If you want to receive kindness and good service from the owner, definitely go somewhere else.

Their Charlottenburg restaurant is amazing but this one in pberg is devastating. Soft tofu soup was tasteless and the meat not fresh, the squid rice we got came with only 2-3 squids max. The sides were not bad but everything else was really disappointing. We won’t come back again

Good quality of the food. Highly recommended

Une découverte de ce biergarten avant de repartir de Berlin et nous avons fini en beauté avec une ambiance décontractée et guinguette ! C’est grand, c’est organisé avec système de paiement à part et consigne des verres… Vraiment très sympa et bonne ambiance globale, des familles, des amies, des couples, c’est hétéroclite ! On peut y manger à plusieurs endroits (resto d’un côté ou bien plutôt cabanes food truck de l’autre) Un très bon endroit où passer une soirée !

Real korean food in Berlin. Jeyug was perfect. Only seats space were bit narrow.

We had the beef bulgogi and the Dak Galbi Dupbap. Both of the dishes were so tasty and so fresh. The broth that came along with it added another layer to the whole meal! We loved the food! The portion sizes are good enough for one person. Though, I would have preferred a little bit more Kimchi but I am nitpicking. It was absolutely delicious and we would definitely be ordering again!

Taste really authentic and good 😊

This place has really good food. I went without expectations and was blown away by the flavours, it definitely was spot on! Very good soup for a rainy cold Spring day in Berlin. Will come back for more! 😍

The food is very authentic and super tasty. Very nice to see that a Korean restaurant also serves banchan and not just the food. I can only recommend it and the service was also very good and pleasant.

The atmosphere is nice and friendly. Whenever I want spicy Korean food, I always go here. I recommend it :)

This is my favorite Korean restaurant in Berlin! Noodle casserole, bibimbap, stew, and pork are all delicious! My baby loves the cabbage soup served before the meal so much that he easily eats two bowls of it. The staff are also very friendly. This is the perfect course to stop by after visiting Mauer Park!

Well, I remember the day I went there as a day-staff in their kitchen few months ago. And I wasn't happy at all with the owners' attitude. Their kitchen and utensils were being managed bit unhygienically, I'd say. And the owner treated me very arrogant and inappropriate without basic manners or respects. I was even wondering HOW those other staffs are dedicating under this environment. - have heard from ex-workers that I wasn't the only one who have experienced poorly, too. On THAT day, both owners blamed me for a mistake, which they've made themselves due to lack of communications between them, lol I'm curious if their ways treating staffs have been changed, but I won't be surprised either if they aren't. They definitely lost a potential customer, absolutely. Seems they never take care of their impressions towards Korean community where they're always looking for new staffs, pretty pathetic, or?

Brilliant food and brilliant service. The Server made recommendations, was patient with us and explained how the food was meant to be eaten. Definitely would recommend.

The food is good, but the store is unfortunately poorly organized. You wait a long time for your food at lunchtime, even if only a few tables are occupied.

The food was extremely delicious and very reasonable for the price. The conditions were very polite and the food came quickly. Highly recommended, great lunch.😋

The food and the service is very good, also it is in a very nice location. I recommend it

Loved it the first time, loved it the second time, loved it the third time! Been dreaming for months of their kimchi jjigae….

not bad bibimpab but space is not very clean and comfortable

We reserved 1 table and haven't even finished eating yet and haven't asked for the bill yet. The waitress just threw the bill on the table, then another waiter came and said that our table must be available in 5 minutes. It would be better to inform customers in advance that the table is limited in time instead of just kicking customers out. Unfortunately I can't recommend it and will never come back

Mega great food! We were very excited

Very delicious authentic Korean food! I highly recommend rice dishes with different toppings and bibimbap. Kimchi is also very good!

Really great place to come have a hearty dinner. Great atmosphere and large portions. Very good value!

Nice ambience. Good food. Quite authentic Korean food. Highly recommended!

Most authentic korean food in Berlin

Unfortunately, the food wasn't well seasoned, the meatless dishes were dismal... The atmosphere is quite cool and austere, the service is totally ok.

Great experience! Smiling hosts, lovely flavours. We ate * haemul sundubu jjigae which tasted very good and perfect chili strength. * Kimchi ban chan tasted homemade and good with deep umami and the right consistency. * Dok-galbi dokbap had a perfect Korean taste where four-wheel drive between the sweet, strong and umami from the homemade gochujang paste and the juicy chicken meat * The Haemul pajeon pancakes were very good, perfectly fried and with juicy seafood and vegetables mixed in * Gun-mandu with meat tasted incredibly good! Also on the plane 6 hours later! The food is of such a quality that it does not lose weight standing in take-away containers if you ordered too much food ;) * side dishes (ban chan) were kimchi, onion and miao soup (today's soup will vary) and natural rice. The soup tasted lovely with delicious power. The rice on this is perfectly cooked and tasty. The atmosphere and environment of the place is incredibly pleasant and you feel at home here. Nice and it's a very good place to try your hand at some basic Korean, simply a good learning environment. We loved the food and the people who work here and we will of course come back next time we are in Berlin!
