YamYam Berlin in Berlin

We ordered the rice with fried tofu and veggies. It came with kimchi and was super tasty. Only thing that could have been a bit better was the speed of service but given that the place was near to full, it’s understandable. Now I need to come back to try the bibimbap!

Really cute restaurant. The service was extremely nice and accommodating. My friend had Jjajangmyeon noodles and I had the bibimbap, both were delicious. Additionally we had the Gogi Mandu which were very crispy. Feini. The only deduction is because it was quite tight to sit on our side (they were on the left side of the wall when you go in), so that you don't have to keep the jackets on your lap. There are hooks on the wall for hanging up, it gets a bit tight in the winter with the thick jackets. For someone who is taller or needs a little more space it was very tight, but it was ok for me. Maybe chairs with backrests would be a solution? But I can't say about the space. Overall it's very good there, we can recommend it for people who like authentic Korean food or want to try it :)

Very tasty food and very courteous service. We'd love to come back!

The taste is very ordinary and the portion is very small. I ordered a fried tofu and it was very dry and tasteless.

Delicious, friendly and authentic - absolutely a recommendation if you like Korean cuisine 🤩

The most delicious kimchi beef hot pot I have ever eaten in my life, the soup has a strong flavor

The food here is SO GOOD. And the neighborhood is so pleasant and perfect on a sunny day :) The service here is also very pleasant. Definitely recommended! 🙌

The restaurant is always worth a visit - from the food to the service, it's simply top!

It took 30 minutes from our accommodation, but I went there because I really wanted spicy Jjamppong. To be honest, the kimchi pancake was disappointing because it had a strong taste of flour and store-bought kimchi, but the jjamppong was spicy in its own way. My younger brother had kimchi stew and it was a bit sweet. But of course it's not Korea, so I understand this much. Even though I was leaving the country the next day, I went home after eating well.

One of the few places which offers really good naengmyeon in Berlin (on a hot day). You get asked if you want mul of bibim naengmyeon, which tells you they know what they are serving. Really good mul naengmyeon, extra gochujang is available to make it nice and spicy. Totally recommendable!

Very friendly service and delicious food. Selection was good. Highly recommended. Gladly again.

Personally, I think the food tastes average, nothing special.

Excellent Korean with a nice vastness of choice, we tried the bibimpap and for the first time the nokdu choen (green bean pancakes, with vegetables and seafood) and we loved everything. The desserts were also well made. Very kind staff. Definitely recommended place.

The drink with Basil 🌿 was the best. The food was good but all the restaurants are exaggerating with the prices of the food. The old Berlin has disappeared. PS: I would suggest maybe a curtain close to the door to protect the clients from the cold 🥶

I ordered the pancake with spring onions, unfortunately it was burnt and didn't taste good. The burnt taste was very strong. When the waitress picked up the plate with the uneaten pancake, I informed her about it but she didn't say anything about it. Unfortunately I won't go there anymore.

I had dinner here and it was really good. I just bulgogi bobbab here.

As I saw in the review, the kimchi stew was a bit bland and sweeter than the ones I had in Korea, but it was tasty enough and the portion was just right so I was satisfied and enjoyed it. When I went there after 4:30, it wasn't crowded. It was nice that it wasn't too noisy and both the interior and bathroom were clean. I will come again next time! (I'm a Red Velvet fan, and I was very touched because Red Velvet songs often appeared ㅜㅜ And the wine-colored haired female staff member was so kind and helpful, so I was very grateful🥹)

Very tasty food and super friendly staff. We felt very comfortable. :)

The lunch box menu is called Jjimdak instead of Jjimdak? Haha, and when I said it was soup, it was steamed chicken. It had a lot of soup and a strong ginger scent. The amount of chicken was generous and soft. The rice didn't seem to be Korean rice, but they gave a lot of rice and the kimchi was good! But they say they don't provide water in the lunch box menu. It's because they are so cruel. There was a little dust on both the kimchi and the rice, but I just ate it. It would be nice if hygiene management was a little better. Still, among Berlin restaurants, the food was served very quickly and the taste was not bad by German standards, and I felt like I had a good meal for the price.

Food is good, but as a larger group (10+) you have to pay an extra 10% service fee

Very good place for Korean food.

Price-performance doesn't quite fit. But nice staff.

the food they served is not very stable, one time is okay but the other time I went the bulgogi dish is very salty.

We had a great meal, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Perhaps the only flaw is the prices: especially as regards the side dishes, they seemed higher than the competition. Still, it's worth it and we'll happily go back again!

Super nice service and yummy food!

Nice place with good bibinbab. But pricey.

Would come here again and again. Very good Korean cuisine. Went there with colleagues who were vegan and really liked it there. There is something for everyone.

A nice Korean restaurant. The food was good, but the atmosphere could be more authentic.

Cool little Korean restaurant. Cozy Atmosphere, friendly staff & really good food.

Wonderful selection of authentic Korean dishes. The food is fresh, tastes excellent and seasoned perfectly. The bibimbap and Korean dishes are particularly recommended. The atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy and inviting, and the service is friendly and quick. A great place to enjoy high quality Korean cuisine.

Too expensive, small portion of meat, medium taste, inattentive service

I had a great experience here! The atmosphere is great, and the staff member that served me was wonderful. The music choices were also great. The food was slightly disappointing, only in that it lacked a bit of flavour. The kimchi in my Bibimbap was yummy, but otherwise I had to add a lot of soy sauce and chili sauce. The egg was not runny, so no yolk to mix in. In saying that, I’d be eager to go back and try something else. A good spot for a cosy winter meal.

When I saw the kid’s menu I was so grateful. My child deserves nutrition when we go out to eat as well! He loved the presentation, it was so special and is the new standard for restaurants. Additionally, we love to sit together in the back with the lower tables. We love the atmosphere with the workers and music. The workers have always been so kind and helpful. Such a win for this mom 🏆

Food without fireworks. Spicy but unseasoned. We ate dumplings with shrimp and beef, plus a dish with rice and squid - I had to add soy sauce to give the dish some character. Fortunately, there was some sauce left from the dumplings 😉 On the plus side, there was algae soup with tasty broth 👍

A charming and simply furnished restaurant with a particularly friendly waitress. We enjoyed the food excellently and found it pleasantly mild – completely different to what you might expect.

Great location, very minimalistic furnishings, but still very inviting. The dishes were beautifully prepared and very tasty. Attention: spicy also means spicy. Just right for me, but some guests would probably be surprised. What was a bit strange was that despite having a reservation, we had to wait about 10 minutes in the cold IN FRONT of the restaurant. Otherwise everything was great and would be happy again.

The food was not tasty, way too salty and expensive for this quality. I ordered kimchi soup tofu inside was almost invisible

If i had to choose a place to have one last meal, it would be this one.

The food was delicious, just the right portions and spiciness (take the chili peppers seriously!) The staff was very nice and helpful, and service was quick!

Great Korean dishes for a very affordable price! I also tried the seafood rice bowl or something? What ever that was, was great!

Vey nice Korean. Good quality-price.

Amazing food !! We went here on our first night in Berlin and loved it! Healthy, fresh and delicious. Definitly recommend. We were served by this one waitress who was smashing it pretty much on her own. Such a good vibe and atmosphere! 🌟

I was there for the first time about ten years ago and since then I've taken every opportunity to come back. We also received great service on New Year's Eve, the food was delicious and I'm already looking forward to the next visit.

Best Service we’ve had in Berlin!!! Food matched the service as well! Thanks for a dope time!

Just outside the center is this Korean cuisine restaurant with excellent staff trained in the language and welcoming, excellent dishes.

Very good food - authentic! But you can't do it without dessert: Macha ice cream and popcorn ice cream!!

After waiting almost 2 hours, my order was simply canceled without giving any reasons. ADDENDUM: I didn't order over the phone and no, it's not a mix-up.... I can upload photos of the order here as proof

We reserved a table for 5 people online in the system for today (December 26th) weeks ago and it was confirmed by email. Unfortunately when we arrived today the restaurant was closed🫠 The booking system needed to be edited...

Unfortunately I didn't like the food. It was actually just spicy with little “umami” flavor. Unfortunately the price-performance ratio is not right. But the service was very nice and the toilet was relatively clean.

Good food. Great and nice people. I really recommend it.

Very expensive compared to the food quality

Very nice service and food was exceptional :)

Food authentic and tasty, staff very friendly.

It was the first time I ordered Korean food, I ordered delivery and my order was not complete. Honestly, the gimpap was not delicious. I don't think I will visit the restaurant.

Love the food, very flavorful! Highly recommended!

The atmosphere is good and staff also

Tried Zampong, which is a spicy seafood dish. Was very tasty. Moderate spice levels for people used to Indian food. Update: Tried Spicy Bokum with fried pork as well, and blown away by the taste. Had to just finish even the last tidbits off!

Supplier couldn't find my address. Never again

We ate on site. Since we like Asian food, the dishes on the menu were very appealing to us. Beautifully authentic. The waiters were also very polite, friendly and helpful. Even though there was a lot going on during our stay, they took the time to inform us about the dishes and give us advice; at no point did we feel uncomfortable or “handled down”. And the food served based on their recommendation was simply amazing. So I can only recommend YamYam. Would definitely come again.

Delicious food in a casual atmosphere, pleasantly attentive service, would be happy to come again at any time. Thank you very much.

Cozy little Korean restaurant in Berlin city center (Mitte). We had Kimchi and Gim as starters and Bibimbab and Bulgogi as main dishes. We really enjoyed it. Restaurant was fully crowded but still the Service managed to be there on-time when needed and very friendly. The Korean Ginseng Tea was very good also. Highly recommended!

If you like good Korean food, this is the place for you. Always my pleasure.

"Myself and other six friends recently had the pleasure of dining together and I was blown away by the delicious food and friendly service. Food was absolutely amazing – the flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was stunning. The staff (sonia)was very attentive and helpful, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Korean food."

Ordered via delivery service, after 3 hours. An unclear information via telephone call with the final dismissal of the conversation. No refund, no service, no agreement... I can only recommend everyone to order somewhere else!

Nothing much to say except that you get everything you expect. Friendly and fast service as well

Delicious and authentic Korean cuisine. Highly recommended. Unfortunately there is no Korean beer.

That was delicious. Kimchi is love, Kimchi is live!

The foods are very good and worth to try. They don’t have so many kinds of foods but what they offer are really nice and I always want to go and eat something. The restaurant is quite busy.

We visited here on Nov 12 and ordered seafood pancake, Kimchi Stew and Chicken Bulgogi and all of them were so good. The service we received from waitress was also good. Only thing we found inconvenient was that there was no water service. (I googled afterwards and seems like it’s not legally required to provide water here in most of Europe. If someone is from North America just like us, be aware that you need to actually PURCHASE water and it’s pretty pricey as a water)

Food and service was very delicious. Unfortunately no chicken options.

Cute Korean corner, lots of veg options available, friendly staff. I'd suggest to go there before 2pm because of the lunch promos, which are ideal to try more from the menu.

Super tasty and lots of variety. We will definitely come again.

we were here last weekend and it was pretty full, nevertheless the staff were super friendly and arranged a table for us! I usually take the Bibimbap here as its fantastic but I tried the glass noodle soup. Holy this was amazing! Quite spicy though but great flavour! Perfect for cold days. The ambiente is quite average, pretty simple and cold, but well the food is top!

Too bad I live in Paris; otherwise, I would have gone to eat at this restaurant every day. I loved it—a place with incredibly delicious dishes. I’ll go back to Berlin just for this restaurant! Thank you for the warm welcome! Thank you for everything; everything was perfect! ❤️❤️❤️

These are scammers, they brought me things I didn't want, I definitely don't recommend them, they threw away the order and ran away. They didn't answer the phone when they finished their work.

Mein Freund und ich haben dort Bibimbap gegessen. Als Vegetarier hatte er ebenfalls super viele Optionen. Das Personal war auch total freundlich und hilfsbereit, obwohl es sehr voll war. Auf das Essen mussten wir ebenfalls nicht lange warten. Wir können es nur empfehlen! :)

Food was good. Service very nice

We had to wait 3 hours for our order, we were informed again on the phone in 15-30 minutes, after 30 minutes another call and the same thing again and again. Food was correspondingly cold. So just bad!!!

I visited during my trip and I think I will come again. I think it's worth it to have food of this quality in a place like this with a view like this. I came across the old price on Google Maps. I felt the power of time being strong, but I also used the bathroom and the day suddenly became cold and chilly, so I just sat down while looking for soup. 13.9 euros The earthen pot felt a bit small. First of all, I don’t know how to evaluate the taste. It's just as delicious as you would eat anywhere else. But in Korea, even if you order beef stew, which usually costs about 15,000 won, it is full of water and doesn't have much substance. The contents of the earthen pot are just full. It contains enough meat to keep eating large chunks of beef. It contains vermicelli, eggs, etc. It was a good meal and I am grateful.

Very cute restaurant with very tasty food, fair prices and very friendly staff. It is a bit small so reservations are recommended during peak times. There are also many vegetarian/vegan dishes, which was very appealing to me. I was very happy with everything and would love to come back :)

Love this place for years, super tasty authentic food. The prices went more up but I always come back when I am in town. Love the spicy dishes, especially the seafood soup, yum

The food is extremely delicious, I had the M2 for lunch. But the portion could really be a bit bigger, even for someone like me

Ambient was great and the service was really fast. The food was good, but I would try other plates in the future. The service staff was nice!

Very nice discovery. Very friendly staff and delicious food

I don’t think this is a Korean restaurant. Korean restaurant in name and menu only You have to pay to order all the side dishes. This is my first time at a restaurant like this I'm angry that this kind of food is recognized as Korean food. How delicious is Korean food? Koreans should not go

I have mixed feelings about this place. We ordered Bulgogi Dobbab - an aromatic dish, but it had a lot of rice and little beef. Tuna gimbab - a total disappointment, a small, not very tasty roll. Hot Ddok - trace amounts of bean filling. I consider the prices to be very high in relation to the quantity and quality of the dishes. Portions are too small. On the downside, the toilet was very dirty. On the plus side, short waiting times and fast and efficient service. Despite this, I won't come back here again. You can get cheaper and tastier Korean dishes in Krakow.

Food was super tasty but lunch menu portions were really too small. Unfortunately we didn't get enough and then 13.50€.

Thanks! Food was delicious. Service nice.

Very cool! Food was very tasty!

I used to like this place but unfortunately the service and their attitude was disappointing and unprofessional. Beware of the tuna bibimbap - tuna is from the can. Disaster. EDIT. As a point of clarification to the owner’s note: - Disappointment is not anger. Reviews are intentionally public to keep business accountable. - Restaurant’s staff first blamed the kitchen and said it wasn’t their mistake, wouldn’t apologize. The other staff member then served all our delayed meals to the wrong table (again!). - We never asked for free snacks and we didn’t eat them anyway. The drinks the owner is referring to - was a bottle of homemade sparkling water YY is charging €4.8 for (hardly a huge discount on a nearly €60 total) - Serving canned tuna on a dish that is supposed to be fresh made is appalling when you’re paying €16.5 for its

Really nice, small shop with nice staff and good background music. The selection of cocktails was mega.

Avoid this restaurant - worst service ever. This restaurant only accepts card payments, but their POS system or card machine wasn’t working properly. I tried using three different cards, all of which failed for no reason, and they didn’t even explain why. My cards have never had issues anywhere else. In the end, I had to pay in cash, and they didn’t provide change. Instead, they asked me to go get change and even demanded that I leave my phone or ID as collateral, as if I was going to run away without paying. This was extremely insulting and unprofessional behavior from the staff. To make things worse, when it came time to pay, one server told me I had to wait for another server to complete the transaction. But the server who had originally taken my order had already left the restaurant. The server who eventually came didn’t even refer to my order and just entered an amount without showing me the bill. I trusted the restaurant, so I didn’t ask to verify the amount, but the whole experience felt like they were deliberately making things difficult for the customer. I’ve never encountered such rude and appalling service in any restaurant. The food was terrible as well. The kimchi pancake was burnt and not crispy at all, with a very poor texture. The beef soup was salty and greasy. It’s not worth the price.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at YamYam, a delightful Korean restaurant in Berlin. However, while the overall experience was fantastic, I found the rice and funchosa to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I prefer a more savory or neutral flavor profile, so this was a minor disappointment.

Decent Korean food. The staff was very nice and friendly and the portion size was decent.

I ordered a bulgogi for 15€ and only got rice and noodles and one piece of bulgogi meat. What the hell is that?

Incredibly delicious food!! Everything we had was great, but dessert in particular is highly recommended!

I've been eating there for years and recently went to eat again. What's sad is that I noticed that the prices are going up and the portions are getting smaller and smaller. Service are OK. The restaurant is generally very put together, so there is almost no passage. However, I don't come back anymore because of the prices and the portions

The food is really good and waitresses are also kind and very friendly to guests. I really recommend this place. Just one cons that price is a bit high but food is delicious

Summary: just yam, not yam yam; ok food with friendly service at an affordable price Best dish: yet unknown Dishes (- negative / = ok / + positive): - Jukgaejang (beef noodle soup): the beef was very chewy, not pleasing at all; the soup base was ok, but somewhat bland Service: + the service was very friendly Price: = ok price for value at €13.9 for the soup, which comes with additional rice Atmosphere: = simple interior design in a nice old building with nice ceiling; more fast food style + WiFi My rating system - i focus on the food first and foremost. I aim to be truthful and try not to be biased by friendly service or other circumstances. 5*: excellent - I am rigorous in handing out 5* ratings 4*: good 3*: ok 2*: bad 1*: terrible

Super good! Abundant and tasty dishes. Some options seem a little expensive to me (16, 17 euros) but they can be okay given the result. Nice large menu with lots of choices. For lunch you can opt for the menu with main, starter (12.13 euros). The only note that I would review towards the customer is making them pay by card and standing there explicitly asking if they want to leave a tip. It can be intimidating. Apart from this and the slightly high price, everything is ok!
