"As soon as you enter the restaurant, you can see into the open kitchen, where chef Jinok Kim puts a modern spin on the culinary traditions of her Korean homeland. Using regional ingredients, some from the restaurant's own garden in Brandenburg, she shows a particular interest in fermented foods. The ingredient-led dishes are beautifully precise. Natural wines accompany the five-course set menu (vegetarian or with meat) served on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and the seven-course set menu (vegetarian or with fish) available on Fridays and Saturdays. The space is pleasantly pared back and the service is very friendly. Jinok Kim is also a ceramicist and makes the crockery on which the dishes are served – the studio is also located in the building. The restaurant is located not far from Checkpoint Charlie, on a small square (with a lovely terrace) opposite the Jewish Museum." - Michelin Inspector

The plating is exceptional in this restaurant. All of the food is served on hand built ceramics which is pretty beautiful. The flavors are really authentic to Korea. There were some novel use of fermentation which I quite enjoyed. There were some tastes that I had actually never experienced before as someone that has both visited Korea and also had Korean heritage. Having said that to be honest, I wasn’t blown away by the main courses. We had both vegan bebimbop as well as the Neck of the pork today. From the other reviews, it sounds like the food is rotated so perhaps this is a non-issue from other meals but when I go to a fine dining restaurant, I really would like for there to be something special in the main course. My main course was the vegan Plate and it was just some small Bachchan with some rice served with a radish top soup and some vegetable based sauce. I’ve had Korean food and a lot of different context and to be honest I’ve had a lot of bibimbop in my life and it’s one of my favorite dishes. This one just didn’t do anything for me. The tofu dish right before it was also just OK. The tofu is handmade, but you can get handmade tofu pretty abundantly in Seattle, where we’re from so again, it was hard to justify that this was an entire dish. Perhaps in Berlin this is more novel and I understand that due to a different audience this might be really interesting but for me, it was just OK. If you’re not used to a lot of Korean food, it was a great experience. I’m sure because it was really for the most part. Well done. I love the fact that they have natural wines as a wine pairing. I did like all of the wines except for the last one and I really like the mission that this restaurant has so I really wanted to give it five stars, but I just couldn’t.

The place is definitely must go for food enthusiasts. Not a place to go if you want to leave with a bellyful. Get ready for minimalistic offerings with tastes to build a dream on. Ambience is very good. Wine and non-alcoholic beverage pairings are very nice. Don’t miss to check out ceramics made by hostess and grab one for home.

You can have a chance to enjoy premium and being like authentic Korean cousine. It is differentiated from normal Korean restaurant. A kind of Michelin style Korean experience under the owner's philosophy who has majored vocal music at the berlin university and studied ceramic art and made all food utensils by herself!

Went for dinner, there was either Fish or Veggie menu for today. All three of our group chose the fish menu. Such a great combination of seafood and traditional Korean way of cooking! haven't had such fresh seaweed for a long time 👍 Excellent experience 😉

We tumbled more or less into this place, not know what to expect. There was a menu for everyone at night. It was a composition of the chef put together to a perfect sinfonie of taste. The staff is very friendly and aware of your needs. Even the owner came up to our table and made sure that everything was to our satisfaction. She is a very friendly lady. This restaurant is a hidden gem and we can only recommend it and can come back.

Great and friendly service! The lunch menu has few options. I had bibimbap and it’s quite light and tasty with different appetizers. The appetizers are homemade and very tasteful. The service was very friendly and nice. I enjoy dining there and would go again! Highly recommend.

Words can not describe the joy we felt while dining at NaNum. The food was of impeccable quality and taste. The plates looked amazing and custom made pottery accompanied every course. The chef was really nice and friendly, talking to all guests. The waiting staff was fantastic and explained every part of the courses expertly. A symphony of taste and art! We will definitely come back.

Nice cozy spot at a modernized area with outside seating. The service is nice and the food is overall good but not mindblowing. I personally found the price value ratio not so good. 19€ for a tofu dish and 10€ for an appetizer that hat 4 slices of thin raw salmon was a bit overpriced. The tofu was tasty but slightly too sweet. The rice was perfectly done and the appetizer Meer und Fisch was also very tasty but lacked in portion. I'd come again for lunch!

Such a cute Korean cafe! I walked in and felt immediately at home as it was very cozy and welcoming. There are ceramics everywhere and all of their cups are very beautifully made. They have Korean desserts, coffee and tea here, as well as soju and Makkori. They only offer food on certain days. We got the ginseng tea as well as the Americano. The ginseng tea tasted very healthy - had a nice herbal taste. The Americano was okay, not too bad. What a great little find while walking around!

This is an upscale restaurant with casual and friendly staff and service. The menu is very limited and they only have 2-4 main menu and that's it. Buuuuuuutttt, because they focus so much on those limited menu items, every menu item I tried have been consistently good. Their homemade kimchi is quite yummy and I wish they do give a bit more portion than what they usually give. You have to pay extra if you ask for more. Service is quite fast, friendly, and accommodating. This is one of my favorite places to come for lunch and dinner.
