Ssam Korean Barbeque

This place was an incredible experience in itself!

The staff was very polite and helpful. They advised us on which dish was most popular and which way it was best eaten.

Lastly I have to give a special mention to the fried chicken, never had any better than what I had here!! I was outstanding! ????

It was a nice evening but nothing special. The food was okay-good, the service was not too good, the prices were a bit high, but the grilling experience was cool as ytcan grill your own food. Beer is just as Boring as always as the Asian restaurants. It's not a must.

Great place for authentic Korean BBQ. Bring time and don’t rush, so you will grill everything slowly and enjoy the time with your friends. The seafood platter for two is amazing.
Only thing that’s a bit of a pity…you need to bring cash. But other than this the good is great

Meat was very delicious, we took two beef options for Korean bbq. Some of the side dishes like cabbage have been kind of dry but it still tasted well.

I liked the integrated grills into the table.
Service was friendly and helpful. Overall I can recommend you to go here.

The food was OK. Indeed, it is hard to go wrong with Korean BBQ, since you grill it yourself, mixing with your own choice of vegetables. Frankly speaking, my review as also biased, as I had my best Koren BBQ experience in the best one in Berlin. My minus points, regarding this case, is the lack of bringing the inclusive stuff with your order. Rice is extra and overpriced, which I was surprised about the charging and the quantity. By saying lack of extras, I had to ask him that we still had choice of vegetables and he said sure, but they only bring if we ask. Well, since we were three, we had to have two main grill dishes, as their policy. Then, I would expect a better service. The staff was friendly though. The restaurant was clean as well. Overall, service, price and experience considered, I gave a three

Okay hands down i give it to SSAM ???????? their food is amazing!
If you are just beginning to dig Asian food and want to try some Korean cuisine or you are die hard Asian food lover, this place is perfect for you! Also the excitement of grilling your own meat is definitely not overrated especially when you are in good company.
Mind you it gets pretty warm when your grill comes on.

The meat (chicken, lamb, beef etc) are well seasoned and marinated with a delicious flavour. Trust me if you don't like spicy food you are definitely in luck. We had a completely spicy free meal! I think my best part is the radish. That damn radish was so good I asked for seconds (and yes it is free) you can ask for vegetables refill and it is free. Did i mention it also comes with rice you are not charged for? Omg the rice was amazing. You get two sauce dips with kimchi, cucumbers, zucchini, beetroot, peppers(not the hot kind) mushroom, onions, carrot and a bunch of other stuff. I kept telling my friend "we have to get the full experience"
I ordered the famous "SOJU"- if you are not much of a vodka fan. I don't advice this.
Service - 5 stars! They were kind enough to tell us the best way to enjoy our meal the Korean way i.e. making the wrap and the dips to use. They actually have someone going around to see if someone needed anything and if we were enjoying our meal. I think it's super nice of them.
All my friends 100% certified they had a great time. I was happy because I was kind of the one that really wanted to go there. P.S. Please don't forget you are in Berlin. Cash only!
Oh I also have before and after photos ????????❤❤????

On the plus side:
An amazing experience with all the flavours. So lively atmosphere. The staff can speak very good English. We were sitting there and chatting for 2 hours and time passed so quickly because we were also so busy making our food :)

BUT:
The chairs did not have a back so not comfortable. The food was overpriced compared to the quality.

And sth funny that may also consider (it has nothing to do with the restaurant) , after all the cooking and smoke you're clothes will smell like all the smoke :))) so make sure to not have an important meeting afterwards.

All in all, so fun and a good way to change the scenery and get out of conventality.
