Korea Restaurant Madrid

Authentic Korean Hotpot

"The sizzling skillets of marinated beef or pork, served with fresh lettuce and spicy sauces, are particularly beloved."

The moment you step inside, you're embraced by a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like a little piece of Korea in Madrid.

The restaurant’s hotpot is an absolute must-try. It’s an interactive and communal experience where you cook an array of meats and vegetables right at your table. This is complemented by an extensive menu featuring authentic Korean dishes such as dumplings, kimchi, and the ever-popular tteok-bokki. The sizzling skillets of marinated beef or pork served with fresh lettuce and spicy sauces, are particularly beloved.

My personal favourite is the lower dining area, with its charming wooden tables that make the experience feel even more traditional. The service here is exceptional – the staff are attentive and friendly, making you feel right at home.

Although it might be a bit pricier than some other spots, the authenticity and quality of the food make it worth every euro. Just be sure to make a reservation, as this gem is often bustling with fellow diners. If you're craving a taste of Korea and a unique dining experience, Korea Restaurant is a must-visit in Madrid.
