Top 5 Korean restaurants in Berlin

Coréen restaurant in Berlin

If you're on the lookout for delicious, uncomplicated Korean food then this is the place for you! Coréen Berlin is a place to relax in a laid back atmosphere and be treated to tasty Korean delights. Welcoming you at Coréen Berlin are goldern lantern lights and a neon green sign reading "Annyeonghaseyo" (Guten Tag in German). Visit this restaurant for hearty Korean feel-good cuisine with a smile. As well as the lunch bowl, I recommend the bibimbap which is served in a hot stone bowl accompanied with meat, fish, vegetable or tofu options. Whatever you do decide for here, be sure not to miss the homemade Mandus and the Bulgogi Ramyun!

Dae Mon

Dae Mon near Hackescher Markt is a fine-dining (mainly) Korean restaurant with mild lighting, dark whitewashed walls and classic but colourful interior. In the back of the restaurant, you will find an open kitchen and also large pictures from Berlin artist Tina Winkhaus. Here, food is prepared with love in detail and up to a high standard. The menu offers vegetarian, meat and fish dishes. Dae Mon stands for successful Korean-Japanese fusion cuisine with a European influence. They also offer a very affordable lunch menu for 16 Euro (including entree, main course and dessert), which I can highly recommend.
