Review from Miriam W.
Jajangmyeon?
Jjajang myun?
Zha jiang mian?
Here at YamYam it's cha chang myun, but alternate spellings aside all you really need to know is that their take on this classic black bean sauce noodle dish is super scrumptious. Seriously, the stuff is faultless and would stand up to any authenticity test; its savoury, inky sauce studded with pork, onions and potato. And it comes with a side of kimchi!
I could not ask for more.
Except maybe for YamYam to accept credit cards. My dining companion and I might have liked to sample more from the menu but only had €15 between us. As a result we had to forgo our thirst beyond tap water (though a beer would have been nice with the noodles) and our hunger beyond my cha chang myun and her rice bowl (no mandu for us!)
I suppose the good news here is that you can have a totally filling meal for €15. Just make sure you bring the cash to pay for it!Listed in: Dinner in Berlin's Mitte, Noodles in Berlin

Wait, I didn't realize Yelp was in Europe now...this would have been useful last semester.
ANYWAY.
YamYam was around the corner from the hostel I stayed in for a week, and it was fantastic. I went for dinner almost every day. It was lovely to be in a city with relatively inexpensive food in a nice atmosphere that wasn't shwarma (as was the only reasonably priced food in Copenhagen). The vegetable bibimbap was particularly memorable, as was the ramyun with egg. I definitely will return if I'm ever back in Berlin (which hopefully will happen asap.) -

I'm always a bit hesitant/wary of eating Korean food in countries other than Korea and parts of the US. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the food at Yamyam.
I've been there twice and so far I've tried their Doeji Bokum and their Bibimbap with meat. I was craving spicy food both times and I was definitely satisfied :D.
The Doeji Bokum is flavorful and spicy. The only thing I was disappointed with were the side dishes that came with it. The kimchi was okay but the spinach was soggy and the cabbage slaw/salad was kind of flavorless.
The Bibimbap is pretty good. I wasn't sure if they would serve it in the hot bowl but I was glad that they did (the best part is always at the bottom when the mixed rice gets crunchy). The meat that they added was kind of tough and chewy but other than that the dish was good.
The restaurant is kind of small and it can be hard to find a seat when it's busy, but the food comes out really quickly. -

This is the first place I ate at when I arrived in Berlin. The place was super cute and clean.
I think I ordered 8a. It was good, but I didn't realize how much rice was in the bowl. I am not a big fan of rice. Anyways, I thought the food was really fresh and tasty. There was a lot of food even in that small bowl.
I didn't pay attention to the inside, mainly went in there to order my food. I did notice it was small, and they have outdoor seating. -

Yam Yam should rename themselves to Yummmm Yummmm! The quality of the food is great, very fresh ingredients! The menu is extensive so there is always something new to try. There is not a very large beer selection, only a few bottled brands. You have to order at the counter, but the service is very quick, and wait for food is not long.
The decor is stylish and minimalistic, and the neighborhood is very nice. The outdoor seating is a bit cramped and can get competitive but if you do manage to score a spot it is very nice to sit, eat and people watch! It is great place to grab a quick but sophisticated dish before an evening out in Mitte!
A reservation for weekends is not necessary but would probably be helpful. -

I am normally not the biggest fan of korean food, but yam yam is really good. The place is really small with only some tables, so I would imagine it getting crowded during rush hour. The food is good and the service really quick. The price is also ok. not the cheapest, but then it's mitte so the prices are ok. if would def go back when i am in the area!

though it may just looks like a hipster hangout, it's really good! i used to think that good korean food could only come out of homes and dumpy-looking, dimly lit restaurants... apparently not in germany. i got jjajangmyun and it was just perfect. the only thing i would have added is sea cucumber, but i'm sure it's a rarity if it can even be gotten in berlin. my friends got the dumpling soup and kimchi stew, along with a little side dish of kimchi. i would have liked more side dishes. the kimchi was just okay. fresh, still crunchy, a bit sweet, not very spicy. they have rice wine and soju! (:

Great Korean place with many Koreans eating korean which means it is good food. Healthy, friendly, cheap and a hip crowd. It does get too full at rush hours, so come early or late. Outside seating on the street.
