LA Kalbi Haus

Lovely authentic Korean food. It's a cozy little restaurant run by an elderly couple. Really enjoyed the food and probably the best kimchi (in my opinion) in Berlin. You can feel that it's food made with passion.

Felt like one of these little Korean restaurants in a back alley designed for the workers to have lunch. Food was good. Not quite close to what you find in Korea, but still relatively authentic. Mandu Guk was lacking a bit of depth. Sadly the mung bean pancake wasn’t as thick as the one in Seoul, but that is hard to achieve without the grinding stone. LA Galbi was good. Overall, for Berlin standards actually quite a good place Sad thing though, mungbean pancake came without dipping sauce and no makgolli 😭

I recommend here as a korean who lives in Germany for 8 years. Foods are nice and price is fair super clean and chef is very nice. So nothing to complain. L.A karbi is also very nice. Must try.

I like the food so much! I had the Zhang ppong Which is sea food chili soup with noodles It was really good the portion is big so I recommend come hungry because you will be more than satisfied

A Hidden gem near Mierendorffplatz! We found this restaurant accidentally by browsing Google Maps and i could remember that at the same spot there was a korean "restaurant" before. You can eat outside which is awesome in summer. The inside of the restaurant it very clean and cozy. The Menu Card is handwritten(!) in german and korean in various colors. There aren't many things to choose from the card but every single dish on the card is worth the price!!! Less is more so the card is perfect! 2 Starters around 6-8 main dishes The Owner of the restaurant is super-friendly and i liked to talk to him. He told me about is cooking skills and where the kimchi recipe is from. The Owner and his wife are great people and i can see the effort they put into the restaurant....so lovely. The Music in the background is some kind of classic korean music and sometimes some K-Pop. The Food is authentic as it can get and it tasted wonderful! We spent there over three hours and we felt so comfortable. We will definetely come back soon to try some L.A inspired dishes! So everyone who's reading it....take your time and visit this awesome restaurant! It's absolutely worth it!

LA kalbi are a bit on the sweet side & not the most tender but still delightful. Their Kimchi bindaetteok is my favorite. Service is good, the couple running the restaurant are very accommodating even though it was a busy night

I ordered food worth €11.80 and wanted to pay by card but he said I had to pay in cash or there’d be an extra charge. I gave him €15 and he only gave me back €3(the owner said the remaining 20 cents was for “service”, which wasn’t mentioned anywhere lol)also the food didn’t even have all the ingredients shown on the menu!

I wish I lived closer because I could eat here every day. After waiting almost two hours for my appointment at the immigration office, this was exactly what I needed. The place is sweet and simple. The owners are lovely. The space is light and cozy. I will most certainly be coming back. 감사합니다!!

English review: Racist owner treats every non-white, non-korean person like absolute piece of trash. I've never in all my life with restaurants, experienced anything like this. I should've read the 1 star reviews on google. The food is way too sweet, overpriced for its portion and quality and definitely far away from tasty. I cannot understand the good reviews Detailed German review: VORSICHT!! LESEN SIE DIE 1* BEWERTUNGEN. Sie sind wahr! RATE IHNEN SEHR STARK VON LA KALBI HAUS AB! Ich habe heute nach tausenden weltweiten Restaurantbesuchen mein mit Abstand schlechtestes Erlebnis gehabt! ... Vermeiden sie dieses Restaurant 1) DER BESITZER WILL NUR IHR GELD Wir kamen zu fünf und haben drei Gerichte bestellt. Zahlten insgesamt 60€. Der Chef hat mit seiner Mimik und Aussprache klar und deutlich gemacht das wir mit drei Gerichten bei fünf Personen absolut unerwünscht sind. Was ist passiert? Die Flasche Wasser kam mit 2 Gläsern. Wir haben dann nach 3 weiteren gefragt für die anderen Gäste die am Tisch saßen. Unfreiwillig erhielten wir dann unsere 5 Gläser. Als das Gericht kam, wurden 2 Bestecke ausgeteilt und erneut mussten wir nach 3 weiteren Bestecken fragen. Diesmal brodelte es deutlich beim geizigen Chef. Als dann keiner ein Teller hatte, fragten wir nach 5 Teller (Das dritte mal das wir anfragen) und nun Platze der Chef. Verwies das wir laut Hausordnung kein Besteck kriegen wenn wir kein Gericht bestellen. 60€ ist dem feinen Herr beim leer stehenden Restaurant zu wenig 2) RASSISTISCH BELEIDIGT Als asiatische Gruppe wurden wir mehrfach rassistisch vor anderen Gästen zum Erstaunen anderer beleidigt. Nach dem wir dem Chef verbal mitteilten das wir uns vom Service mehr wünschen, verwies er auf seine Unzufriedenheit unserer Bestellung und fragte mehrfach aus welchem Land wir kämen. Als wir sagten "das spielt nicht zur Rolle und hat sie nichts anzugehen". Kam ein "Chinese! Japaner!". Das ist absolut unterirdisch. Vor unseren Eltern und meiner Frau. Schlimm genug das sie vom Tisch essen und dann so behandelt werden . 3) GESCHMACK Ich weiß nicht ob die Reviews von Freunden oder gekauft sind. Aber das kann doch keinem Menschen gut schmecken. 6 galbi Stücke für 20€ ist alles andere als fair und geschmacklich liegt hier tonnenweise Zucker. Sie haben uns nicht nur den Freitag versaut, sondern mit ihren frechen art ihre Gäste vergrault. Am Ende nicht mal sich zu entschuldigen und zu sagen "zahlen sie und verpissen sie sich" bei wirklich freundliche Gästen, ist absolut unverständlich, rassistisch und nicht zu glauben.

Why can't I find kalbi (Korean marinated beef short ribs) anywhere in Berlin...except here?? You can choose between having your grill (2 portion minimum) or having it pregrilled in the kitchen. The owners are a super sweet Korean couple. The kalbi was tasty - just like I would have it in LA. Highly recommend!

They have both Korean BBQ but also delicious individual dishes in various styles, including dumplings. They do offer appetizers ("banchan", if I'm not mistaken) and they might include items not always present in other Korean restaurants around Berlin. Like a couple other restaurants in the neighbourhood, it has a deceiving low-key atmosphere that doesn't match the superb taste. The owner's super friendly, and speaks German, Italian, Korean (and probably English?).
