My mum was in town and I wanted to take her to a Korean restaurant, the only problem was that it was a Sunday... most Korean places are shut Sundays. I decided on Hanok due to the article in Tip online and was surprised that the restaurant had undergone a huge transformation since the article was written. It's now super chic and pricey.
We started with mandu which were excellent. The sauce was very tasty too.
We asked the waitress about the portions, whether or not it would be easy to share a main dish. She said most definitely if we were considering Japchae, which we had already discussed. We ordered it and at 28€, better to share ;) The portion was more than plenty for two people. We like things a bit more spicy and asked for a hot sauce which they brought. It turns out it was made there and absolutely incredible. The five side dishes were all excellent as well.
The cinnamon tea at the end was excellent and reminded me of when mum made it when I was growing up. We always had some around. Great!
I am no expert in Korean cuisine. Having had a rather unimpressive BBQ in Seoul, I wasn't raising my expectations too much, but this was delicious!!!
We shared the BBQ spare ribs and crispy pork which were some of the best I've even. Ever. The flavours were crisp and the quantities generous. Excellent fresh ingredients and a very friendly and efficient service.

Located in the west side of Berlin, it has a very modern decor and tranquil atmosphere. I was kind of surprised to see the restaurant completely empty which was on the very busy street of Kurfürstendamm. There were quite a bit of pedestrians walking by, so I wondered if the service or food was bad. Maybe it was the time of day...it was early for dinner...(it was 4 or 5pm)
Having grown up on the West Coast of Canada where you're surrounded by Asians who spoke their native tongue (be it their Asian language or English), but never German, it was an interesting experience. At that time, I didn't know any German, and I tried my best to say some things in Korean instead...at least I was able to order my dish saying (This please.) as I pointed to the menu. LOL...hahaha...
The dishes' portions were small, but good. The banchan (side dishes - typically you get small 4-5 side dishes with kimchi, potato, salad, cooked yam, etc that you can eat with your meal) were really good as well. Much pricier than the Korean restaurants in Vancouver. But, nicely presented. Fresh food. Satisfactory service.
Unfortunately I only had the pleasure of trying the Bibimbap there, but it was a very nice experience nonetheless!
First of all, the ambiente there is very cozy and beautiful, the service was also really nice; our waiter was exceptionally friendly (we even got two miso soups for free).
I was there with a friend and we both ordered Bibimbap, which was really delicious. We also got banchan (korean side dishes), which you (unfortunately) do not get in every korean restaurant, so that was nice.
The prices were okay for the most part - our Bibimbap was about 10€. There were also more expensive dishes on the menu, but I haven't tried them (yet ;)), so I cannot say anything about them.
Overall, I was very happy with the food, atmosphere and service - definitely a recommendation! 4/5
The seafood pancake was delicious, as was the miso-marinated pork belly. The bulgogi was mediocre though, as most beef dishes in Germany are.
I was there twice .. Never got disappointed. This is a definitive recommendation if you like Korean food!! And even if you never had tasted it before: Just give it a try! Whenever I will visit Berlin, I try to get there. The quality of the food is great and the size of the servings is more than enough. Food is also cooked near your table on heated plates .. A great experience ..
Delicious.
Stylish at least for that part of Berlin.
Perfectly friendly and maybe a bit to cautious:
u might not like the octopus prepared as koreans like it
the recommended sepia & beef bbq was great, and superior to other berlin based korean bbqs.
pricing fits.
As a Korean living in Copenhagen, where there is almost no Korean food at all. I come often to Berlin to eat korean food. So far Hanok is the best restaurant I've ever been , they serve very authentic Korean food, :)
I have been coming here over the past ten years. A recent renovation followed the transfer of the business from mother to daughter. Everything is more stylish, the prices have indeed increased. And yet, for the Seoul man inside me, there is no better place in Berlin to enjoy the authentic Korean food, K-pop in the background. Needless to say, the staff and many guests speak Korean.
