Ssam Korean Barbeque in Berlin

This Restaurant is permanently closed.

food was pretty good but the lamb was meh and it was pretty pricey, service: kinda boody-cheeks

Food and atmosphere were okay, but one member of the wait staff was behaving in a very snarky fashion. Very much established a bad vibe and I simply cannot return to a place with this memory in mind.

It was an interesting experience to grill in the restaurant itself, it was a lot of fun. Food was delicious, service friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, you take the smell of the grill home with you and the staff should be able to speak German as well as English.

Not recommended. There is a risk of food poisoning!!!!!! A waitress who is disrespectful and constantly answers in English, even though you communicate with her in German all the time. To be honest, it doesn't matter to me whether you're in Friedrichshain or in a trendy district. We live in Germany and German is spoken here. Very easy. When the waitress offered us 2 desolate seats, we couldn't believe it. The side dishes were already on the table and definitely for a long time, as the radish and bacon were already completely discolored. No wonder given the heat in the store. My companion and I then simply got up and left because we didn't want to catch food poisoning. But this would definitely have been the case if we had stayed there. Now comes the best. When we left, the waitress had no interest in asking why we were leaving. Instead, she crawled into a corner and was busy with her cell phone. No why. No goodbye. Nothing. DEAR OWNER, WORK ON YOUR CONCEPT AND ESPECIALLY REVISE YOUR STAFF KEEP YOUR FINGER AWAY from this store!!!!!

Julia did an amazing service to accommodate our party tonight and make sure it was special. Thank you sooooo much!!!

Nice place, delicious meat, the Argentina meat was not so great but the pork was amazing. Also the pancakes were delicious. Great service. A little too expensive...

Unfortunately, that was the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. The waitress was super slow and very rude, never had such bad rice as it wasn't fully cooked, the meat wasn't tender at all and was full of gristle and the best part: a dead insect between the zucchini slices. It's a real shame because I was actually really looking forward to my first Korean barbecue experience.

It is a do it yourself Korean BBQ Restaurant. We went here with the family and it was nice experience. Its for Kids & Adaults. The food is really tasty & the staff friendly and the dishes been fast on the table. You can choose menus between Beef, Pork, Chicken or Veggie and grill it on your table. so much fun

I dont even wanna give 1 Star.The blonde waitress was totally rude when we asked something she was annoyed 90% of the time and the rice was really dry we waited long for our food. When we told her something she just walked away and totally ignored us it was really disrespectful. I never had this kind of experience before. Never coming back to this Restaurant. Totally ruined the experience. very dissapointing…

The service is a bit too slow, even though the restaurant is not full at all. The meat is very tender, very well marinated, the spicy pork belly is not as fat as I thought, which was a nice surprise. The Yuzu tiger beer is too sweet and not very well mixed, I do not recommend this. a regular beer goes better with the meat.

There was plastic in the food. Rice overcooked. No cold beer.

The environment is very comfortable and the atmosphere is good The food is also fresh and the meaty part of the beef is delicious. Fried chicken is also very delicious Service is very good recommend

Very delicious - would definitely recommend. Two adults and two teenagers shared "all about beef" and "All about pork" and there was plenty of food! All very tasty and good quality

Our experience at this Korean Grill restaurant was simply amazing. We strongly recommend that you reserve a table before your visit. This restaurant is particularly suitable if you want to enjoy the quality of the food and also friendly conversation. Maybe it's not ideal if you're very hungry as you have to grill your own food. It is a wonderful experience to be able to slowly grill the meat and vegetables in the company of family or friends while chatting and drinking various drinks. The food was very good and the quality of the meat was excellent, the meat was very well marinated. I can only recommend a visit to this restaurant. The staff was very polite and friendly, and it is also possible to pay by card.

Amazing experience, never ate Korean BBQ. But I really loved the different flavors coming together. I enjoyed maybe more because my Korean colleague and friend guided me. Also our South African waitress was very nice, understood us and help us throughout the journey! Merci😉

taste very normal. How can an authentic Korean BBQ grill not have garlic on the side？

It's tasty and the service is friendly, but you have to be able to grill. We ate at a long table with lots of other people, which became a bit narrower as the seats next to us were occupied. I found it a bit too expensive for what you get. 85€ for two people with one drink each and a meat platter for two, which was relatively small. Would I go there again, I don't think so. Precisely because I can get a well-grilled steak elsewhere for comparable money, which also fills me up.

The restaurant has a nice interior. The table is large and wide. The food is a bit expensive. Average quality. The service attitude of the staff is poor. 1 point unless you don't speak German.

On site, last call for the kitchen is 10:30 p.m., but unfortunately the waiter says that the kitchen will close at 9:30 p.m....

The ambience was good. Unfortunately, the vegetarian and vegan options for the BBQ are very poor. There was only one choice, which I wouldn't have a problem with, but the ingredients in the vegan menu weren't well chosen. There was a kind of bockwurst, but it didn't taste delicious and had a strange consistency (although I generally love vegetarian alternatives). The remaining vegetables were also manageable and rather tasteless despite lots of soy sauce, salt and another dip. We found the appetizers that came with it very tasty. If the vegan menu had been put together in a similar way to the starters, I would have been super satisfied. The staff was also a bit inattentive and unfortunately served us very slowly in such a noble and above-average priced restaurant.

Eat differently. Place the gas grill in the middle and the ingredients on top and grill. Delicious

Ssam in Friedrichshain is a Korean BBQ paradise! My girlfriend and I had an amazing time enjoying their delicious offerings. The spicy pork belly was an absolute highlight—tender, flavorful, and perfectly grilled. The interactive tabletop grilling experience added to the fun, and the cozy ambiance made it a perfect spot for a romantic dinner. Highly recommend for a memorable Korean BBQ experience in Berlin with your loved ones!! Pro tip: you should reserve a table beforehand via their website, otherwise it would be difficult to get a table :)

Really enjoyed the Korean BBQ experience at SSAM! The meats were delicious and the Banchan (side dishes) were plentiful and flavorful. Service was friendly, but it was a bit difficult to get their attention sometimes because we were seated near the entrance and it felt they are understaffed. One minor point: the decorations above the grills could be cleaner. Overall, a great place for Korean BBQ in Berlin!

This review only pertains to the stew and the pancakes did not try the BBQ. The pancakes are kinda bland. The stew is good but the food to liquid ratio is a bit low. Shame.

Well I like the meat so far and the banchan too. I do have issues with the tiny salad leaves. The idea of Ssam is to put all the food together and wrap it up in a nice leaf but this is just impossible if they serve you just baby leaves. I ask and that’s their general salad leaf size. For me an important thing. Secondly the fried garlic disappointed me a lot. It is ridiculous that a bottle of soju which is 1$ in Korea and 5€ in any Asian market costs more than 13€. It is frozen garlic. That’s the only possible reason for me why it is tasteless.. The Ambiente is too modern for my taste and they played pretty bad vulgar and women sexualizing hiphop. It was definitely not the right vibe for such a priced restaurant. Next time just cross the street and visit new Arirang pay just 1/3 and enjoy the more authentic vibe there

Great experience! One of the best Korean BBQ in town

Korean BBQ! A completely new experience for me. Tasty and very good meat. Unfortunately it was very difficult due to the open front. But we would still like to come back 😊👍

Very good food, the service is a bit thin at the moment, modern atmosphere, music a bit too loud. Modern Berlin. An experience!

Overpriced and inauthentic. I'm still crying after the "gochujang" sauce. No idea what that was but it wasn't gochujang...

Ambience and service great, also the experience! Unfortunately, the vegetarian/vegan dish is a bit too expensive (for my taste). Still nice shop. Take your time as you have to/can prepare the food yourself.

Super tasty food, friendly service and great explanation of the concept for us newbies.

It was a very good experience with having to cook your own BBQ. Large portions with tasty meats make this a go to place if you are hungry.

Very friendly service and good food

The staff doesn't know German. We ordered food but the food was not brought out and they still charged us for the food. When we informed them, they expressed discomfort. The food is expensive, the meat is too big. In general, with that amount of money, you will have many better options in Berlin. If you still want to try eating here, always check the bill after eating and remember the dishes you ordered.

One of the best barbecue restaurants I've tried in Berlin. The meat is very fresh and marinated very well. The service staff is very enthusiastic, the atmosphere is very comfortable to gather friends. The price is quite expensive but completely worth it, you should come try and experience it. Recommend to book a table on weekends because it is quite crowded.🔥☺️

Mum and I had a lot of fun, especially her — she never tried Korean BBQ before. It’s great you can grill yourself and that not that someone else does it for you like in other places. The beef galbi was very tender as the curry chicken. The seafood pancakes are to die for. Very appreciated that the meal comes with some veggies to grill and a lot of little plates with other delicacies. Staff is super polite and attentive! Can’t wait to go back!

The food was awesome. The vibes and service were excellent. Mushrooms for the BBQ are a good choice.

Delicious Bbq Nice place for gatherings

Very nice place and interesting concept first time I was exploring Korean cuisine. The only issue was the service they were not coming to pick up the empty plates! We paid and until the time we left the table plates were still there. So minus one star for the service

A great restaurant. Great quality of food & drinks. The BBQ was easy to organize and really tasty. The service was also very attentive. We had a great evening at Ssam and would love to come back :)

The service team was good, except for an Asian gentleman who brought the bill. The gentleman was very unfriendly and made the atmosphere worse. A pity.

Staff not really friendly. Thick pieces of meat made it hard to grill nicely. Thin slices work much better. But it was tasty. For the price it is overrated.

Great Korean bbq, we were happy with the food. Good beef and pork. Accordingly not cheap.

- Meat quality could be better - Hardly any German-speaking waiters

Takeaway service needs work. You’ll likely just be waiting around for service but the food is legit. Big portions and tastes great. Worth the wait

The waitress tried to add two more drinks that she never served. We had to wave for her to come to our table after waiting multiple times. Once we gave her the tip, she didn't say thank you or anything but counted the money in front of us, and left saying it was too little. Please make sure to hire good staff

We ordered spicy chicken and pork belly. Both of them were really yummy and we got also veggies with it as well as side dished which were refilled free of charge! Friendly staff and good atmosphere.

Delicious Korean BBQ style restaurant, a definitely a place to go in groups of friends or family, the food is delicious fresh and the meat very delicious and soft I specially recommend pork 😋, the vegetables was very delicious aswell and also have vegetarian options.

New Korean barbecue restaurant, really good food and atmosphere. We got a table without a reservation, but we were lucky to arrive early enough, some people that arrived after us were unable to get one. In short, I really recommend it and look forward to going there again

Great staff, great meat, great atmosphere. Perfect for a nice and relaxing evening with friends! :> all the employees looked happy and relaxed, really nice atmosphere.

Especially, a good gastronomy experience, nicely set up, good quality of meat, there is better kimchi! Cocktails without a straw were very difficult to drink with ice and mint around them. Unfortunately, a slow and not attentive service... and then wanting to cobble together a 20% tip without informing the guest... pay attention to your bill!

The meat was very good but the kimich wasn't that tasty, the customer service was catastrophic, really bad, then it was such a cheek to pay a €20 tip, this was preset, we almost didn't notice it, it was really quite expensive

The food was generally very tasty and sufficient. The two of us had a total of two portions (one Spicy Boneless Chicken and the Uruguay Steak) and they were completely sufficient. It was a shame that the rice was a bit cold. 7€ for 0.75l is also really a bit excessively expensive, or do you now pay that much elsewhere? The price overall was fair, but that really surprised you at first. The ambience was really nice, but the background music was inappropriate, i.e. at some point it changed from loud rock to jazz. It was also funny that we were spoken to in English the whole time (other people who visited the restaurant too), which of course didn't bother us but could be difficult for people with little knowledge of English. Nevertheless, it was a nice evening for us and we will definitely come back at some point.

Anyone who has the necessary change will not be disappointed. The quality of the meat is really good and you can taste it in every bite.

Was our first time in a restaurant like this. Making the food ourselves and be able to put everything together was fun! Would have loved some mixed meat option, so you don't just get all beef or all chicken and so on. Would still recommend to give it a try for sure!

This is my first time coming to this restaurant. Although the two sides cannot communicate with each other in English because my family only knows German and the staff only speaks English, it can be said that the service staff is very enthusiastic. Even though each order is quite confusing😆, you guys still serve very enthusiastically. I really love this restaurant. We had a wonderful dinner at this restaurant💗

the food is good but way too expensive. All about beef costs €80 for 500g of meat, which is far from enough for two people. Service is ok, employees are disorganized and slightly clumsy. All in all, it wouldn't piss me off so much if it were priced more fairly.

This place has been on my Wishlist for a while. We tried the BBQ, mainly the prawns in garlic butter and the spicy chicken. We also tried the fried chicken Appetizers and lemonades. Unfortunately, if I compare it to the other BBQ places in Berlin, it definitely falls short. In terms of portion sizes and flavours. I ordered the spicy chicken and it definitely isn’t spicy! It comes with a side of vegetables but I would have loved to have the spicy chicken marinade on the veggies as well. The sides were good. The Korean Fried chicken was the highlight of our meal and that is saying something when going to a place known for its BBQ. I felt that if you’re new to Korean BBQ or do not like spicy food, then Ssam is a great place to check out. But I was a little disappointed and would be trying out other places in Berlin. The service is quick and helpful!

Really very good Korean BBQ. I've already tried several Korean BBQs in Berlin (including Kimchi Princess), but I liked this one the best so far. The staff is nice and the atmosphere is pleasant and cozy. The fried chicken, the large mushrooms and the rip-eye steak especially tasted very good. It's not cheap, but in my opinion it's worth the money. We will be back. Edit: Unfortunately, business has slowed down considerably. I haven't been there for a while now because I was disappointed several times in a row. Therefore star deduction. A pity…

A second new branch of the Ssam restaurant in Berlin. Good thing is, it's new. Second is they seem to have serve better quality meat than the first branch. It's pretty decent. Banchan is pretty sad and boring. The cutlery, ambiance and presentations are pretty cool. The beef quality is decent. The jiggae is alright. Not bad. It is the only real built-in table k BBQ style restaurant available in Berlin. And there isn't a real competitor to this sort of dining style here in Berlin so it's hard to really critique. It's decent. They lack service staff so expect super slow service. It is a far cry from a real Korean bbq back home but it will scratch the itch. Lunch service is a bit funny....they don't serve cocktails even though it's in the menu for lunch and only beer. Not even Makguli...I guess they still need to get their act together.

I'd say it's the most fancy, delicious and good quality korean BBQ I ate in Berlin! Don't forget to make a reservation - place is pretty busy for dinner

Very good food and had a good introduction, it took a little long to take our order at the beginning but after that everything went very quickly. It was a very beautiful evening

First time in a Korean BBQ and it was amazing, the food was tasty, the staff were nice, prices are reasonable and they refill the side dishes if emptied, would definitely visit again

Very tasty chicken. The atmosphere and music are also great. The staff are friendly and will fulfill your every wish with a smile.

Food was high quality and tasty. Unfortunately, we had to wait a long time for someone to order the drinks and then again for someone to take the food order, even though it wasn't particularly full.

Original concept. However, nothing really impressive and too expensive for what it is. 25 to 30 euros for few tiny pieces of meat with one mushroom and 3 piece of veggies... it's overestimated.

Great food, when I was there it was very busy and the staff didn't keep up with it very well. Ambience is fine and functional.

Great restaurant! The beef was very good, the chicken too but a little spicier would have been better!! Small downside, we had called to reserve but apparently it was not possible and we had to come and see on site. But when we arrived we were asked if we had a reservation 🤨

The quality of the food was good, it was tasty, the portions were OK. But that was it: Unfortunately, the American service staff is so slow and uncoordinated that drinks at our table were only served after the meal and at the neighboring table only after more than an hour, when the guests had finished eating. She also tends to ignore guests when they stand in front of her because their private cell phones are more important. We will only visit the store when she is not on shift. We were there on 3/3/24.

The food was very tasty and the staff was friendly!!

It was our first time eating Korean food. So we had no idea how exactly preparing it ourselves worked. We would have liked a little instruction here. Otherwise, the ingredients and meat were fresh and the atmosphere was also right.

Very cool restaurant, exactly what you imagine at korrean bbq. I recommend the entre cote.

Unprofessional, embarrassing shop where we didn't have a meal despite a reservation. After being seated at a grill table, after 2 minutes we were timidly informed that grilled food would no longer be served. 1 hour before last call, 1.5 hours before closing time and despite an explicit barbecue area reservation. Anyone who runs their store so poorly and treats customers like this doesn't deserve any business.

Koreans, come here when you want to eat meat. I'm so happy that a place like this exists in Berlin!! The stew is also delicious.

Yummy! What a delicious vegetarian option! Highlight of my culinary experience here in Berlin. Gladly again!

Delicious but a bit too pricey for what it is. Portions aren’t very consistent

Simply a recommendation! Quality food! Delicious anyway 😉

Tasty Korean BBQ Score: 7.3/10 Location (6/10): Public transport is everywhere. Neighborhood is famous for its dumpy look which I don’t like. Sometimes it is not 100% safe to be there in late evening. Building and Atmosphere (6.5/10): Nothing special. Clean and modern look. Service and Waiting Time (7.5/10): staff was very fast while the restaurant was empty but struggling with simple drinks when the restaurant was full. Very nice and polite staff. Beverages (7/10): Nothing special but tasty overall. Food (7.8/10) Presentation (8/10): Eye-pleasing presentation, keeps your mouth watering. Texture and Technique (6/10): Unfortunately pieces of meat and vegetables were not even. Some of the vegetables where cut paper thin which is a waste. Sloppy cutting skills. Taste (9/10): Phenomenal. Value (8/10): With good quality products comes high price. But worth it.

Despite having a reservation, you wait at the door for more than 10 minutes and none of the waiters feel responsible... (other potential guests besides us). There wasn't even much traffic in the store! With that kind of behavior you don't even want to know how the rest of the food and/or the service would have been... We simply made a reservation at another store and will never come back. Hopefully the store will be closed soon!

Once we ate here 3 different bibimbaps and they all were quite tasty. The other time we ordered a bibimbap and it was very unusual, I tried it in different restaurants and it never tasted so strange, can't say I like it. But the most disappointing were the cast iron bowls. Guys, take care of them, rust doesn't trigger appetite!

We ordered their Pork Belly and Pork Secreto set. The quality of the meat is undeniably worth the price tag and we highly recommend their BBQ experience. However, we also had some terrible kimchi jjigae that looked more like an onion soup with barely any piece of kimchi. Service was extremely slow and unprofessional. The restaurant was not even full and the staff was already struggling to keep up with the pace. We were told that their system was down which caused the delays… props to the guy who ended up helping us out and did everyone else’s job!

Die Qualität von Rind- und Schweinefleisch ist recht gut. Allerdings ist das Panchan für 4 Personen sehr klein (2 Scheiben eingelegte Gurke für 4 Personen!!). Der Salat war etwas klein und wurde spät serviert. Außerdem muss der Kundenservice verbessert werden. Das Servicepersonal ist unverantwortlich und vernachlässigt die Kunden. Ein Pluspunkt: luftiger und sauberer Raum. Ich überlegte, ob ich noch einmal zurückkehren sollte.

Service war ganz schlecht und so gut wie nicht vorhanden. Unser Tisch war dreckig und eine „neue“ Schere die wir bekommen haben, war auch dreckig. Sowas geht gar nicht. Egal ob Gäste noch da waren oder schon gegangen sind, die Tische wurden nicht abgeräumt und überall türmte sich das Geschirr. Des Weiteren war das Fleisch grau angelaufen und nicht mehr frisch. Für das Preissegment erwarte ich etwas Service, Sauberkeit und frische Lebensmittel.

the place is a very good korean bbq restaurant in berlin. the main dishes and the side dishes are really tasty. except the missing air extraction above the grilltable, it is almost like in seoul south korea. thanx for hosting us, we will come back

Der Service ist absolut miserabel !!!

Das Ssam ist ein schlichtes Restaurant, wo man trotzdem aber angenehm sitzen kann. Der Grill ist einfach erklärt und man hat eigentlich keine Schwierigkeiten, wenn kann man einfach nachfragen. An Speisen findet jeder was, sie haben eine große Auswahl. Es könnten vielleicht ein oder zwei mehr vegetarische Speisen geben. Trotzdem ist mega lecker und es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Die Cocktails waren jetzt nicht so der Fall, aber der Soju ist sehr lecker!

Essen war gut der Service war Aufmerksam aber spricht gar kein Deutsch. Was mir gar nicht gefallen hat ist das man von den EC Kartengerät genötigt wird Trinkgeld zu geben.

Das Essen und Fleisch war von hoher Qualität und sehr lecker. Die Beilagen Rettich etc waren etwas wenig. Der Service ist allerdings verbesserungsbedürftig, die Kellner hatten keinen Überblick. Wir standen mehrere Minuten an der Tür bevor man uns empfangen hat, obwohl sie uns gesehen haben aber keiner der Kellner fühlte sich verantwortlich. Die Getränke kamen auch erst als wir schon am Essen waren. Erklärt wurde uns leider auch nichts. Zudem ist die Küche sehr unflexibel. Wir wollten das Gemüse zu einer der Fleischplatten austauschen, dies war allerdings nicht möglich. Waren auch grundsätzlich zu viele Pilze. Für diesen Preis leider ein Unding. Man sollte die Option haben die Gemüsezugaben selbst auszuwählen. Die Atmosphäre im Laden ist nett, das Licht zu hell. Könnte etwas gemütlicher sein.

Sehr lecker. Gute Auswahl. Toller Service

Ich war schon öfters in Seoul und hab auch Korean BBQ genießen können. Das was Ssam hier anbietet, ist alles aber KEIN Korean BBQ. Wir haben Hähnchen -und Rind bestellt. Jedoch waren es entweder nur Kinder -oder halbe Portionen. Die Beilagen waren ebenso nur als Deko statt zum Essen gedacht. Die Preise waren sehr gut, aber nur für den Inhaber, nicht für den Kunden. Das Schlimmste war der Grill. Das Fleisch klebte und verkokelte direkt an der Oberfläche. Die Bedienung wollte uns schon fast auf der verkokelten Grillplatte weiter grillen lassen, hätte ich ihr nicht erklärt, das das nicht normal ist! Wir mussten den Grill 3x wechseln. Für ein richtiges Korean BBQ Erlebnis müsst ihr leider weiter suchen.

Big disappointment, this place spoils the idea of Korean bbq for people that try it for the first time, such a shame! waitress couldn't care less to make us feel welcome or while taking our order wasn't even looking at us so was very difficult to communicate with her, brought the glass and water (7€ for each bottle of water is quite a stretch) and left 2 glasses on the side of the table with 1 person sitting and 1 glass on the side with 2 people sitting there, literally throwing the glass across, then side dishes came, keep in mind that on the menu its stated that for each portion of grill food ordered side dishes, sauces, dips and 1 bowl of rice is already included, well the side dishes were so little amount that we thought it was all for 1 person, then we noticed that only 2 bowls of rice were given, when we told the waitress she answered with such an attitude "they do 2 bowls for 3 people, but if you really want another one I guess i can give you" i was about to snap and answer back but at that point i had already enough i only wanted to eat and leave, then we get our meat, no tongs or scissors were provided for a good 10 mins, then when finally we got all our tools we realised that the grill plate wasn't lubricated so all food started to stick on to it from the get go, but at this point asking was just gonna make the whole experience worse, being in Germany not everyone is used to Korean bbq so I think a little explanation on how and why things should be done would have made the experience better, I was the only one that had Korean bbq before so was no problem explaining the people with me, but what if it was the first time for everyone?? the food was ok nothing spectacular, but some of the ingredients typically eaten with a traditional korean BBQ were missing or swapped for more western ones, romaine lettuce is used for a korean BBQ? 😂😂 Leaves so small that it was impossible to use them as a wrap, no perilla leaves, some of the typical sauces were not there, kimchi was subpar, but what shocked us the most was the quantity served of each side dish, in one plate there was 2 slices of pickled cucumber and 1 slice of carrot, I mean we were 3 people, what if we wanted to try a slice each? Just unbelievable, I guess we could have asked for more, but the experience was already more than spoiled, I mean we are talking about pickles not caviar, I don't think serving at least 1 slice each person eating would send them bankrupt!!! For the price they charge is definitely not worth the money, we brought a family member that came to visit us from Italy and we felt quite uneasy, we are definitely not gonna go back, there are better and much cheaper Korean bbq in Berlin, even in the same street!!! Shame, big shame!

Food is ok but a bit pricey for what it is. It's definitely not the best Korean BBQ I have tried. Pork belly pieces were extremely thick. Thinner slices would be much better. Sauce can also be improved. The place can get quite loud and smokey depending on where you sit due to all the people grilling on their tables. We spent about 35€ per person and we were not extremely full, so it is quite pricey.

Enjoyed the meat and delicious kimchi stew, all in a pleasant atmosphere. However, the banchan was underwhelming (offering just two pickles?really?). Service was slow and required repeated requests, although the waiters were friendly. It seemed they were short-staffed. Considering the high prices, the value doesn't match up, especially with more affordable and equally good Korean options available nearby (also on Warschauer Straße).

The food is okay but not great. Banchan was very less and the lettuce wrap is wrong. Why would you give romaine lettuce instead of regular lettuce? Its so hard to use it as a wrap. Meat quality was good so I would give it 3 /5.

I went there on Sunday evening. We were starving as we browsed the menu, everything looked so delicious! However, it took the waiter time to actually approach us, I wouldn’t have mentioned it but the restaurant was only 1/3 full! The waiter just talked to his colleagues while we were waiting. Finally he came and told us that half of the menu is sold out. I told him that he could have told us that right when we walked in and not let us go through the menu and make up our mind. He was kind of passive aggressive, told us he’s very tired had a long day or whatever??? Like that’s irrelevant, just do your job. Disappointing and unprofessional.

Interessante Gerichten, die man selbst zubereiten muss. Aber der Service leidet, das Management sollte mindestens einen weiteren Kellner pro Schicht einstellen. Es ist sehr seltsam, dass an einem Wochenende nur ein Kellner für das ganze Restaurant arbeitet. Wir haben 40 Minuten gewartet, bis uns frisches Essen gebracht wurde. Das Essen war ok, die veganen Speisen nicht so sehr.

Mehr Schein als Sein, Desserts gibt es leider nicht zu bestellen und viel zu teuer für das was es ist.

Das BBQ ist schon ein Erlebnis. Die Speisen sind frisch und in guter Qualität. Preis-Leistung stimmen auch. Allerdings ist der Service verbesserungswürdig. Das fängt an bei der Kommunikation, die fast ausschließlich in Englisch erfolgt. Das Personal ist nicht sehr aufmerksam und die Erklärung zum Gasgrill erfolgte auch nur sehr grob. Es wird auch nicht mal gefragt ob man zufrieden ist bzw ob noch Getränke gewünscht werden und sicher ist Friedrichshain eine Touristengegend aber man möchte ja auch vllt Einheimische ansprechen, die vllt kein Englisch sprechen. Die Geräuschkulisse ist auch ziemlich laut. Gemütlich ist anders. Daher nur 3 Sterne.

Trotz Reservierung, mussten wir erst einmal warten. Irgend wann wurden wir platziert und später gar unsere Getränkewünsche aufgenommen und bedient. Dann gabe es die Zutaten für den Grill. Fort an hat man uns keine Beachtung mehr geschenkt. Die Frechheit kam dann beim bezahlen. Der Mensch der uns "bediente", hat all unsere Getränke und Speisen aufgezählt und die Endsumme genannt. Unterschlagen hat er dabei das bereits von ihm selbst aufgeschlagene Trinkgeld. Für mich ist das vorsätzliche Täuschung, wenn nicht gar Betrug.
