There are at least three. Actually, I didn't like it, because the waitress was not Korean but Thai or something similar not knowing anything about Korean food. I missed all the typical noodle dishes and I found that the menu seemed quite Chinese apart from Bibimbap, Bulgogi and some dishes with Kimchi.</p> <p>I find that "Tobagi" in Leipzig, "Maru" in Dresden and "Mr. Lee" near Frankfurt/Main station or the one in Adalbertstrasse in Frankfurt are authentic and good Korean restaurants. Anyway, in and around Frankfurt are really a lot of Korean restaurants. I was told that the Koreans from Hyundai Frankfurt prefer the expensive restaurants around and not in the centre of Frankfurt.<br /> However, I can speak only for cities I go frequently. I read also about good Korean restaurants in Berlin. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/in-germany-fuchs-chili-flocken-instead-of-korean-red-pepper-flakes#post-5066 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 13:12:52 +0000 Maangchi 5066@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Thank you very much for posting your tips here! It will be a big help for those who can't buy hot pepper flakes in Germany! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/in-germany-fuchs-chili-flocken-instead-of-korean-red-pepper-flakes#post-5063 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 21:49:38 +0000 San 5063@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi,<br /> so this weekend I made my first ever batch of (emergency) kimchi and it was delicious.<br /> That being said I had a few troubles getting the ingredients, unfortunately my asia store didn't have the korean red pepper flakes. (They had one pack but it was expired!) So I bought "Chili Flocken" from Fuchs, which you get in any normal german supermarket, a 60g bag for ca 3€. Since I had no idea how this would turn out, I only used HALF the amount of what Maanghie's recipe called for (half of a 1/3 cup)!! </p> <p>As I've said, it turned out fine. So in a kimchi emergency in Germany you can use those Chili Flocken and you'll only need half of what the recipe calls for. Which is practical considering the price. ;) </p> <p>Enjoy. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/first-dish-to-try-in-a-korean-restaurant#post-4050 Fri, 05 Nov 2010 03:26:42 +0000 AsianFoodLover 4050@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I'm with FusionKnight, Kimchi jjigae is really great and well..to me..isn't too spicy, just warms your body up just right </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/first-dish-to-try-in-a-korean-restaurant#post-3981 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 05:08:22 +0000 FusionKnight 3981@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>If you are ever in the mood for something spicy, definitely try some Kimchi Jjigae. :) </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/korea-restaurant-kim-strohsack-passage-in-leipzig-germany#post-3740 Tue, 14 Sep 2010 19:06:52 +0000 San 3740@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Located in one of Leipzigs many Passages it isn't easy to find, but it's Leipzig only korean restaurant. It is opened for lunch hours and then again for dinner. Prices range from 4€ for kimchi salad to 15€ for one portion of bulgogi. </p> <p>The interior is a bit cold and uncomfy, but the service and the food make up for it more than enough.</p> <p>I've had bulgogi and it was fantastic. Same goes for the other dishes that my dinner companions enjoyed. The kimchi is fresh and spicy. Since it was my first time ever I can't say if it was good or not. But I liked it even thought it was a bit to hot/spicy for me. </p> <p>All in all, I can recommend the Korea Restaurant Kim and not only because of the cute waiter. ;-) </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/first-dish-to-try-in-a-korean-restaurant#post-3739 Tue, 14 Sep 2010 18:35:43 +0000 San 3739@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Thank you all for the suggestions.</p> <p>I'm just back from the restaurant. I've had bulgogi with kimchi as side dish. </p> <p>IT WAS FANTASTIC. I LOVE Bulgogi, kimchi is a bit too hot/spicy for me. </p> <p>Anyway even my mother liked bulgogi and she isn't someone who quickly likes something new. So this dinner was a success. </p> <p>South Korea watch out, here I come. ;-) </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/first-dish-to-try-in-a-korean-restaurant#post-3709 Fri, 10 Sep 2010 09:20:38 +0000 Souavarat 3709@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I agree with unchienne. You can't go wrong with bulgogi or bibimbap. Try kimbap also. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/first-dish-to-try-in-a-korean-restaurant#post-3668 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:18:34 +0000 unchienne 3668@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Based on what my non-Korean friends enjoyed whenever I took them to Korean restaurants, I'd say get some mandu or seafood pancake as an appetizer and try the bulgogi or bibimbap if you're not wanting to be too adventurous. My friends found most of the stuff to be too spicy, but really enjoyed the meats and the various banchan. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/first-dish-to-try-in-a-korean-restaurant#post-3154 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 06:31:18 +0000 San 3154@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Leipzig, so I'm just around the corner. ;-) </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/first-dish-to-try-in-a-korean-restaurant#post-3151 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 11:08:24 +0000 kumaxx 3151@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>try samgyobsal. i never met a german who didnt like samgyobsal. couple of beers, soju and you have a party. and they can try banchan for themslves... where in germany do you live? </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/first-dish-to-try-in-a-korean-restaurant#post-3150 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 09:41:20 +0000 San 3150@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hey,<br /> I'll go to a korean restaurant for the first time this or next week. What should I eat there. Except for Maangchis rolled egg omelette I haven't eaten korean food so far.</p> <p>Thanks for your ideas.</p> <p>Cheers,<br /> San </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/hello-from-germany#post-3148 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 09:20:44 +0000 San 3148@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hey there Maangchi and everyone else.</p> <p>Thank you for this site, the recipes and the videos. </p> <p>My love for everything korean started with korean movies on youtube a few months back. Now I'm hooked on Korea.</p> <p>I just made my first ever korean dish yesterday: Rolled Eggs - Gye ran mal yee. The rolling was tricky but I succeeded and today I've took some with me to work for lunch. Yum. Yesterday I saw chinese cabbage at my local super market so I'll make my first kimchi this weekend. Yeah.</p> <p>To my utter astonishment there is only one german book on korean food in print. I just bought it, but I'll probably order two english books this weekend. Cookbooks, love them.</p> <p>Pictures from my first korean dishes you find at my blog: <a href="http://the-man-made-project.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://the-man-made-project.blogspot.com/</a></p> <p>Cheers from Germany,<br /> San </p>
