Jana A. KriNovember 6, 2019Top-notch quality, this place (which is tiny btw!) will make you fall in love with Korean cuisine. It’s not cheap, but everything is tasty and visually luring. Great natural wines on the menu.

Inga BergmannJanuary 24, 2016We had a great evening w/ delicious food and spectacular drinks. We felt warmly welcomed by Bini and her colleagues. The dish of the day (Teltower Wildschwein) was absolutely fantastic! Will comeback!Upvote1Downvote- Giannis TsopelasNovember 9, 2015Great food.Especially sea food soup was amazing and so were the lobster dumplings Very friendly service. Good value for money.Upvote1Downvote
Jia O.November 14, 2014The lunch special was better than I expected, which included beet soup, rice cakes (authentic) and dessert, overall it was good value for 8 euros.

Martina IllysFebruary 20, 2017The tapas options are crazy innovative and delicious! The mains are not bad either,but the tapas are definitely their strong points

Anechka M.May 12, 2016Crazy about Korean tapas? Visit this place. Every tapas consists of 3 pieces, better order several and share. The service is outstandingUpvote1Downvote
Vuk TrifkovicApril 8, 2014Lunch option is just right. Portion is well measured, but nice to get 3 courses and everything is just so. Pulls off a delicate balancing act of being just chef-ey enough and relaxed enough.UpvoteDownvote
Winnie SheuMarch 5, 2017Good service and friendly staff. Bibimbap was over-priced but taste is fine. I ordered kimchi for starter without knowing main dish comes with a small kimchi plate, ended up with lots of kimchi. :DUpvoteDownvote
T. LowApril 20, 2022They remodeled and focused their offering, no more a la carte. Be prepared for a Korean inspired fine dining experience. Not cheap but worth it.UpvoteDownvote- Maria Ines Guaia KeebleJanuary 24, 2015Incredible Korean tapas, I especially reccomend the dumplings and corn cakes. Very good barbecue! For dessert, try the pancake, it comes hot!!UpvoteDownvote
Jonathan CourtneyOctober 5, 2014First time I came here it was great. Food was prepared well and service was great. Second time there was a huge difference. The food was generic and the service was extremely sloppy.UpvoteDownvote
Jack GilsonApril 7, 2014Really tasty food, moderately priced. Be sure to have a Soju shot after your meal.Upvote1Downvote
Nicklas AAugust 12, 2015Cozy affordable place. I highly recommend their tapas - especially the vegetarian onesUpvoteDownvote
Arturo ReusstraatAugust 20, 2014Lunch menu is very tasty. You get two courses and desert for 7,9€.UpvoteDownvote
Sebastian NJuly 14, 2017No tap water, even though we asked for it. Wine prices are in 0,1l, so be careful when ordering they gladly double it (for double the price obviously). Food was alright, but on the expensive side.UpvoteDownvote
Leonard LinAugust 19, 2014Nice ambiance and service, I actually quite liked this place, but the bibimbap was sadly not so convincing.Upvote1Downvote
Jan FormanekMarch 6, 2020Such a sad, unfortunate disappointment - I remember raving about it 2 years ago, but it is now all but a shadow of it's past; bland and uninteresting.UpvoteDownvote
MatthiasSeptember 18, 2013Nice idea but long wait although not that busy and quite pricy...UpvoteDownvote
DCMarch 9, 2017Kinda pointless to have a "menu in English" if everything is "Kai zhen shu with mai-tho-phu sauce".UpvoteDownvote1
David LinderMay 28, 2015Interesting Korean tapas, but slightly underwhelming for the price level (ca15-20€ pp).UpvoteDownvote1
Julie LimOctober 24, 2015Very, very, very overhyped. Save your money, don't go. Chef needs a better method to execute fusion, did not do Spanish or Korean food justice.UpvoteDownvote1
Enrico KalinkaApril 12, 2015Die Tapas sind fantastisch, gute Größe, super abgeschmeckt und perfekt zum teilen! Der Service ist sehr freundlich und das Restaurant gemütlich, der Geräuschpegel ist angenehm!UpvoteDownvote
Rebecca TpuahJanuary 23, 2017Koreanische Tapas teilen (Hänsel&Gretel = Pilze), Süßkartoffelsalat und als Nachspeise die Pancakes mit Pflaume. Bitte viel Zeit mitbringen - hier wird Essen zelebriert.

Tanja WApril 10, 2016Mega! Tapas/ banchan schmecken köstlich. Und der koreanische Pfannkuchen zum Nachtisch auch. Service sehr sweet!

GalsbaOctober 2, 2015Leckere kleine tapas mit koreanischen Einflüssen. War lecker aber ich mags lieber entweder oder, nicht gemischt. Kleine teure Portionen, gediegenes Ambiente und Publikum.UpvoteDownvote
Do ZiNovember 23, 2015Die vegetarische Auswahl ist etwas beschränkt, das Essen jedoch fantastisch! Netter und zuvorkommender Service.UpvoteDownvote
Alina JuneFebruary 8, 2015fantastisches koreanisches essen - unbedingt den glasnudelsalat mit süßkartoffeln probieren!UpvoteDownvote
Oliver DamianAugust 23, 2015Sehr leckeres und reichhaltiges Bibimbap. Original im Tontopf mit vielen Gemüsen. Ich kann dazu extra den blanchierten Spinat mit Pinienkernen als Vorspeise empfehlen. Schneller und netter Service.

MoniqueOctober 24, 2017Charming Personal, Tapas gehen schnell, Hauptgericht war mir die Wartezeit (1h) zu lang. Geschmacklich experimentell, mir hat es gefallen. Abends sollte reserviert werden.UpvoteDownvote
Joe AhnMay 29, 2014Nette Inhaber, schöne Einrichtung. Das Essen ist aber leider nicht so super. 3x versucht, die Begeisterung endete immer beim Essen. Am besten sind die am klassischsten gehaltenen "Fusion"-Gerichte.UpvoteDownvote1

"Great food, friendly people. Love the kimchi. Tip: don't get a table upstairs, it's too busy near the kitchen."
