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/greetings-from-germany#post-3923 Fri, 15 Oct 2010 10:34:28 +0000 SunHee 3923@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>yeah - i thought kimchi princess was a bit german for a korean restaurant - even one of the waiters was german and when i spoke to him in korean, he was confused. ha ha.</p> <p>thanks for the tips - I will try them all for sure.</p> <p>my husband works in dreilindin so it's much closer for him for us to live in Potsdam then in Berlin. Plus it's so green and peaceful here, we thought it would be a good environment for my son - which it is! The only drawback is the lack of ethnic food and ingredients but I don't mind driving into the city to stock up (or fill up:) when the cravings hit.</p> <p>Hope you had a nice dinner last night and thanks for the tips!! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/greetings-from-germany#post-3920 Thu, 14 Oct 2010 19:26:24 +0000 kumaxx 3920@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>oh.. potsdam is a totally different thing. what are you doing there?</p> <p>kimchi princess is okay. a bit pricy but its more for the german crowd anyways.<br /> try bulgogi at hodori, its really good.<br /> if you have some time, try ichthys. an old ajjuma cooks everything fresh from scratch so it takes a long time but yuggaejjang is really good.<br /> there is a new restaurant called madang. i was there only once and i thought it was pretty good. i will go there tomorrow again and let you know.<br /> in steglitz, there is seoul kwan. everything is pretty good there. thats from the top of my head. if you are coming from potsdam, try seoul kwan. its the nearest.</p> <p>switzerland is crazy expensive, especially if you are from berlin. berlin is foodwise pretty cheap even for german standards. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/greetings-from-germany#post-3919 Thu, 14 Oct 2010 16:53:31 +0000 SunHee 3919@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi Kumaxx,</p> <p>Okay, I should have been more specific - I live in Potsdam and I'm pretty sure there's no good Korean restaurants here. If there is, please let me know!!</p> <p>As it is, sometimes we get a babysitter and we go into Berlin for dinner. I've tried Kimchi Princess and thought it was pretty tasty but I'd love to hear any recommdations if you have any :)</p> <p>I agree about switzerland - ha ha! plus it killed me to pay something like 20 Francs for bibimbap when in the states that's like the cheapest thing on the menu. Anyway, thanks for the note!! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/greetings-from-germany#post-3918 Thu, 14 Oct 2010 13:00:52 +0000 kumaxx 3918@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>hey sunhee... you live in berlin? welcome welcome. of course we have good korean restaurants in berlin. although nothing beats a korean homecooked meal. keep in mind, berlins korean community is the biggest in germany so we are of course pretty good covered korean-food-wise.<br /> at least it is much much better than in switzerland. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/greetings-from-germany#post-3917 Thu, 14 Oct 2010 08:08:47 +0000 SunHee 3917@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hello Maangchi,</p> <p>I am so glad to have found your website. I am Korean, but raised in the US so while I have a taste for Korean food - I can't really cook it (my mom did all the cooking and I never learned!) </p> <p>But now that I am a mom, and living in Germany - I really miss eating good Korean food. There are not that many good Korean restaurants here, at least I haven't found any! Thanks to your website though, I found a Korean import store in Berlin and got all the essential ingredients and made my own kimchi. It's a start! </p> <p>I am looking forward to cooking my way through a lot of your recipes and introducing some good homestyle korean food to my own son (half Korean, half Swiss).</p> <p>Thank you for your website, recipes, and directory!! SO HELPFUL! </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/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>
