  Oh how I missed Asian food... I was tired of Portugal's one kind of cuisine and decided my trip to Berlin was going to be my chance for tasty ethnic foods. I had a mediocre Thai food experience on my first night which made me wary of Berlin Asian food but Madang was the real deal!
  
  I wished my bf was with me so we could have ordered the bbq but, since I was alone I ordered the beef bibimbop and a Korean pancake. It was delicious! The bibimbop was sizzling and spicy, the egg was runny, and there was a nice crunchy crust to the rice. Even the side dishes were prepared with care--the kimchee was perfectly spicy and the fermented beans (which I usually skip because the flavor is overpowering) were much better than normal.
  
  The service was nice and friendly and they have English menus. I only have one complaint about the whole meal. I ordered the pancake because I was starving. So I thought they would bring it out as an appetizer rather than with my bibimbop. But this was a small oversight.

  The food was overpriced for Berlin. And it also did not taste the best. The meat quality was kind of disappointing.
  
  Service was friendly and helpful. Overall we had a nice experience here but there are better places to get Korean food.
  The stone bowls were good but there was hardly and beef in them. So I guess pay the 2€ extra for more meat.
  We also had the glass noodles with chicken which were not very flavorful. On the plus side: the rice tasted very nice!
  Also it was a nice atmosphere to sit outside on the terrace. Maybe try a different Korean place first.

  The place is on the smaller side. There are no built in grills so they use a portable gas stove with a grill plate which is okay. Although there are no air vents so it does get a little smokey depending on what type of meat you or your neighbors get. There were 6 Korean side dishes with rice that came with our meal. Lettuce, soy bean paste, and oil salt dip as well.  We got the pork grill plate for two. There is traditional seating in the back which was cool to see. They show you how to grill the meat and prepare it a bit when it is done as well. They were a little busy so service had a slow start but they were attentive once the food got there.
  
  Der Ort ist auf der kleineren Seite. Es gibt keine eingebauten Grills, also verwenden sie einen tragbaren Gasherd mit einer Grillplatte, die in Ordnung ist. Obwohl es keine Lüftungsschlitze gibt, wird es ein wenig rauchig, je nachdem, welche Art von Fleisch Sie oder Ihre Nachbarn bekommen. Es gab 6 koreanische Beilagen mit Reis, die mit unserer Mahlzeit kamen. Salat, Sojabohnenpaste und Ölsalz tauchen ebenfalls auf. Wir haben die Schweinegrillplatte für zwei Personen bekommen. Es gibt traditionelle Sitzgelegenheiten auf der Rückseite, was cool zu sehen war. Sie zeigen dir, wie du das Fleisch grillen kannst und bereitest es ein bisschen zu, wenn es auch fertig ist. Sie waren etwas beschäftigt, so dass der Service einen langsamen Start hatte, aber sie waren aufmerksam, sobald das Essen dort ankam.

  It took me two visits to come up with an opinion about this place. It is very original and the food there is also quite unique. Though in my opinion unique does not mean very good. It is ok-isch.
  
  Starters were very small and had little taste. The main dish - grill plate, was big enough for two people, accompanied by various side dishes. And again, I was expecting much more taste. It was plain. We did not touch the desserts as the selection was very limited.
  
  So all in all I am not a fan of this place. I would describe it with one sentence, taking into account all the cooking that takes place in front of your eyes: much a do about nothing"...

  The quality of the food is good but it's slightly pricey for what it's worth. My friend and I ordered the classic bibimbap and seafood sundubu (soft tofu soup). We also got makgeoli so we spent a good amount of money (I think ~€18 each). The soft tofu soup was quite good, as was the bibimbap. I don't know if I'll return because I would rather explore other places that may be cheaper.
  
  Also, they give a couple banchan with the main dishes but you can also order the banchan separately. It's weird because I don't ever think banchan should cost money!!!!! That is a rule in Korea. Come on now!!!!
