    Decent Korean bibimbap dishes. I was a little disappointed that the bowl was not as hot as it should have been. It sort of missed that good crispiness which makes the dish so much more tasty. It was also too salty for my part.

    It’s fine for German taste I would say. But it’s totally different from the original Korean food. Honestly it cannot be called a Korean food at all, from ingredients to the way you made it! It’s okay to adjust the taste of the food for local people but please dont call your restaurant like the actual one. I’m an easy person but I have to write this review to make sure people can choose the real Korean food for them :(

    We got food to take away once here since we live near it and all the tables were occupied (it's a small place) There are not many dishes to choose so we opted for Bibimbap which were okay but nothing really special in my opinion. Moreover, I was expecting a bit more quantity of meat in the dishes. The price is affordable though.

    Quite honestly I never was a big fan of Korean food, but this little restaurant in my neighborhood totally changed my opinion :). Really fresh food, delicious taste and very reasonable prices. There are some tables inside and outside as well. Very clean, friendly staff, English speaking and quick food preparation. Recommended for a light healthy meal. Vegan options as well, take away, pay cash. Will go again!

    It would have been nice to get some complementary Kimchi, or either make it cheaper. Although it tasted good, and probably home made, even though I am known as a person who likes salt, I though it was rather salty. Nonetheless, the Bibimbap was very tasty and I would come here again to try other dishes they have to offer! Update: the Bulgogi dish was very tasty too!! :)

    Very good! I love bibimbap and this was solid. Delicious with a poached egg as most places I’ve been serve sunny side up.

    Echt lecker und super Bibimbap. Mir fehlt etwas „besonderes“, um sich noch von anderen koreanischen lokalen, abzuheben, aber es ist schon mal toll, dass sie das Bibimpap „dolsot“ also warm anbieten und auch in Salatform.

    I am a big Korean food lover and cooker and unfortunately did not enjoy food in this place at all. Very small menu and the "chicken bulgogi" tasted incredibly bland and boring. The soup we were served was also very bland and oily with some unchewable vegetables. On top of that, one of my friends found a piece of hard plastic (at first she thought it was glass) in her soup. Which made us feel very uncomfortable with what we've been eating. She said it to the owner, who apologized several times, admitted it was dangerous, and brought her a beer and an orange as an apology. I kinda felt bad for the owner as she seemed quite sick/high(?) and acting in a strange/unwell way. Anyway, I would definitely not return and unfortunately can not recommend it.

    The flavors are okay but not authentic, it feels more sauerkraut than kimchi, the waitress couldn’t really explain which dish is which.

    Great service, delicious food. The pumpkin bibimbap is a must. Try it with extra Korean beef.

    (Translated by Google) Due to the many good reviews, we also looked at the shop from close up and even ate there. Outside it was very narrow, the lack of backrest of the beer bench was simply compensated by other guests. Joking aside, the food was very good and the service was great too! (Original) Auf Grund der vielen guten Bewertungen haben wir uns den Laden auch mal aus der Nähe angeschaut und sogar dort gegessen. Draußen war es insgesamt sehr eng, die fehlende Lehne der Bierbank wurde einfach durch andre Gäste kompensiert- raffiniert. Spaß beiseite, das Essen war sehr gut und der Service auch top!

    (Translated by Google) Even though the service was very friendly and the place was cozy, I was disappointed with our bowl. This is known to me differently, with other ingredients and more intense taste. But you can not make everyone right. (Original) Auch wenn der Service sehr freundlich und der Laden ganz gemütlich waren, war ich enttäuscht von unserer Bowl. Diese ist mir anders bekannt, mit anderen Zutaten und geschmacklich intensiver. Aber man kann es ja nicht jedem Recht machen.

    The food was tasty and they have some good options - even organic ones. Also great selection of drinks (including kombucha!). Will come back :)

    Jedesmal ein Erlebnis. Haben zweimal Bibimbap dort gegessen und es war immer fabelhaft. Der Service immer freundlich und nachfragend. Die Mitarbeiter erklärten sehr genau die Gerichte und wie sie am Besten zu essen sind. Auch immer für Konversation offen. Gut die Umgebung halt Ostbahnhof, aber wir fanden das spannend und kamen immer ins Gespräch.

  • 5/5 Oleg L. 5 years ago on Google • 95 reviews
    Highly recommended! Sweet and tasty, nice unpretentious design inside, and several tables outside. Service was very friendly and welcoming. My tofu bibimbap was in a sizzling pot, crisp rice on the bottom, and - a nice surprise - a poached egg instead of a fried one! This is a small family-owned place, so it feels very personal.

  • 4/5 Clinton D. 7 years ago on Google • 16 reviews
    Highly recommended joint as they serve the famous Sizzling BiBimbap and a bucketload of kimchi variations and to top it off weekly specials that just do not seem to disappoint. I luckily was one Of The few to jump into the restaurant when it first opened up during the second quarter of 2015 and 2 years down the line it tastes the same as it did back in 2015.. The consistency is something to admire as many joints loose this a few years down the line. The BiBimbap is The Star Of The joint and the crispy burnt rice at the bottom Of The bowl is literally to die for. A small note: Ask for a raw sunny side up egg and not a cooked one. The raw egg eventually firms up due to the steam giving the BiBimbap an awesome creamy texture. Menu is concise and straight forward moreover the couple running this joint pay close attention to detail and customer satisfaction. One hell of a BiBimbap journey. Cheers!

    Amazing place. Not only is the food tasty and filling, it also super healthy! You can tell it’s a family business for how they take care of their customers. I have been visiting them over the years and this place never disappoints. Thanks!

  • 5/5 Anja 11 months ago on Google • 13 reviews
    Hier gibt es das Beste Bibimbap & Kimchi der Welt ( zumindest für mich) Immer mit frischen Zutaten gemacht. Toller Service > tolle Menschen. Ein kleiner feiner Familienbetrieb. Seit dem es das Kimchi für zu Hause gibt, bin ich ihm noch mehr verfallen. Sehr empfehlenswert und lecker 🤤

    Tasty food and a cute place. Their prices for the large portions are quite cheap and affordable, the staff is nice and helpful, and styling is lovely.

  • 5/5 Govert N. 4 years ago on Google
    This relative small restaurant made me become a fan of korean food. They serve mainly korean speciality bibimbab, which was just delicious. I love spicy food and it was lovely to stop by and have an early dinner at this pretty and very clean restaurant. Service was very friendly and prices totally ok. Will definitely come back! And oh yes, they have craft beer to choose from :)

  • 4/5 Clemens A. 4 years ago on Google

    We love Korean Food Stories! The food beats every Korean place I have been to. The service is super friendly, the ordering process is easy and intuitive. Dolsot is great in outdoor table even if it's cold outside. Kimchi - delicious!

  • 4/5 Kelechi 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent service and food! Bibambap arrived in a sizzling bowl :) Not sure why the sides are so expensive though - €3.50 just for kimchi?

  • 5/5 Alex B. 2 years ago on Google
    Love love love this place. I eat here all the time. The freshest ingredients, and everything is so tasty.

  • 4/5 Bengi K. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s a cute place to have dinner, friendly stuff. However I must say, I have had way better Korean food before, so for me considering the price the food was very average. But my boyfriend really liked it, so maybe it’s just me.

  • 5/5 Harry R. 1 year ago on Google
    When it comes to eating in Berlin, I find myself a little overwhelmed: packed restaurants, tense customer service, and misplaced orders. I think we can all empathise with service staff -- it is a tough job. Korean Food Stories has always been a comfortable, warm atmosphere; it's now my go-to restaurant I visit at least once a week. The food is fantastic, and incredibly healthy. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. There's not much more I can say, it's just damn good. Lastly, the staff have often gone above-and-beyond; and, all with a smile. If you're looking for a good place to eat with a welcoming atmosphere, this is it.

  • 3/5 Elliott F. 1 year ago on Google
    Whitewashing at it finest, not sure how they’re calling this Korean cuisine. The food isn’t bad just far from authentic. I had the beef bulgogi bowl, was pulled beef, rice and cabbage, zero Korean flavours or finesse. Very confused by all the reviews praising the excellent Korean food 🤷🏼‍♂️

  • 5/5 Michele M. 1 year ago on Google
    Best bibimbap I've ever had in Berlin. Will definitely come again!

  • 5/5 Dominik B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Great lunch at fair prices! The restaurant is very small but very inviting. We were greeted warmly and so it was immediately ensured that everyone from our group ordered together at the bar so that we could eat at the same time. The food was plus drinks at about 10 euros - this is also the amount from which card payment is possible. The price is completely justified because you get a completely freshly prepared dish with crunchy ingredients. The bibimbap is delivered hot and sizzling to the table and immediately envelops the happy recipient in the smells of this delicious dish. Tasty 1+ with asterisks. Well seasoned, crispness. The crowd is perfect for lunchtime. Simply great - thanks! (Original) Großartiges Mittagessen zu fairen Preisen! Das Restaurant ist sehr klein, aber dennoch sehr einladend. Wir wurden freundlich begrüßt und so gleich wurde darauf geachtet, dass am Tresen alle aus unserer Gruppe gemeinsam bestellen, damit wir auch gleichzeitig essen können. Das Essen war zuzüglich Getränk bei ca. 10 Euro - das ist auch der Betrag ab dem Kartenzahlung möglich ist. Der Preis ist komplett gerechtfertigt, denn dafür bekommt man ein komplett frisch zubereitetes Gericht mit knackigen Zutaten. Das Bibimbap kommt heiß und brutzelnd an den Tisch geliefert und hüllt den glücklichen Empfänger sogleich in die Gerüche dieses köstlichen Gerichts. Geschmacklich 1+ mit Sternchen. Gut gewürzt, knackige Schärfe. Die Menge ist perfekt für die Mittagszeit. Einfach klasse - Danke!

    Small place in PBerg so you should definitely make a reservation. We went there for the bibimbap and the two dishes we tried were good. We also ordered an appetizer (kimchi) but it never arrived to our table.

    Super fresh ingredients, and delicious flavors! They mixed the pulled pork and chicken for me - ??

    (Translated by Google) It was my second time here. Everything was perfect the first time, I had a Korean Beef Bibimbap Salad that was really great. Yesterday I ordered a Korean Beef Dolsot Bibimbap (9.95) and another Bibimbap Salad (12.00) to pick up. In the description and last time there was no hot sauce on the salad. However, yesterday was so much on it that the food was inedible because it burned so much when eating. Furthermore, I do not understand that the Dolsot is 2 EUR cheaper than the salad if only the rice is missing in the salad and this is replaced by 5 additional lettuce leaves? Unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. (Original) Ich war jetzt zum zweiten Mal da. Beim ersten Mal war alles perfekt, ich hatte einen Korean Beef Bibimbap Salad, der wirklich großartig war. Gestern habe ich ein Korean Beef Dolsot Bibimbap (9,95) und wieder einen Bibimbap Salad (12,00) zum abholen bestellt. In der Beschreibung und auch beim letzten Mal vor Ort, war keine scharfe Soße auf dem Salat. Gestern war jedoch so viel drauf, dass das Essen ungenießbar war, weil es so dermaßen gebrannt hat beim Essen. Desweiteren verstehe ich nicht, dass das Dolsot 2 EUR günstiger ist als der Salat, wenn im Salat nur der Reis fehlt und dieser durch 5 zusätzliche Salatblätter ersetzt wird? War leider eine sehr enttäuschende Erfahrung.

  • 5/5 Jonas A. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Super bibimbap. The best in Berlin in my opinion. Prices are ok. The only problem is, since the shop is very small, it is more difficult to get with more than 2 people.

    Delicious Korean style dishes with very good value for money. Staff is super friendly. We haven eaten inside and also ordered to take away. Worth going!!

  • 5/5 guii l. 4 years ago on Google
    Great typical Korean food. I had a bimbimbap and it was amazing. The attendant was very kind, and explained to me everything about the plates. The menu is a perfect size to have in a typical place, few options but all very well made and delicious. There is this pepper sauce on the table which is very delicious, but watch out, because it is strong (I loved it even more).

  • 5/5 Oleksandra A. 4 years ago on Google
    It's a great place for lunch. It's a bit small, but you can seat in the nearby place too, and they have tables outside. In my opinion, it's a bit pricey for everyday lunch but is okay for a small treat. Their bibimbap is great, kimchi is one of the best I've tried in Berlin and I also like sandwiches. Portions are big, for me it's hard to finish and I feel full after it. You can pay with a card, which is always a nice option.

  • 5/5 István K. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice little Korean restaurant. Seating is limited but there are extra tables in a nearby shop - which is strange but it works - and some more outside. They just have a small menu, specialized for lunch. The bibimbap and the salads are delicious and good quality, the staff is nice. The prices are a bit higher than the average in the neighborhood and sometimes the meet is still cold when you get your bowl. I don't know if that's intentional or is only because of the rush, some might not like it. But it's still 5 stars.

    (Translated by Google) A very small and cozy restaurant, with nice music. Despite self-service, the food is served. The Bibimbab is very tasty and contains many components and the meat is very tender and you do not have to wait too long. BUT you have to come early to get a table. The service is very friendly. It is worthwhile to come here (Original) Ein sehr kleines und gemütliches Restaurant, mit schöner Musik. Trotz Selbstbedienung wird das Essen serviert.
