Prague has a lot of vegan options, but one area where it does not thrive is Korean food. So when I’m in other cities I’m always looking for vegan Korean eateries to try, and Feel Seoul Good has become a must-visit in Berlin. While the food itself is excellent, my positive associations with it are helped by the fact that on both of my visits we’ve sat outdoors eating at sunset, enjoying watching life pass us by. But make no mistake: the food is good too!

This pancake is listed as a snack on the menu, so ordering it as a starter is a bit ambitious, though nevertheless I have done it twice. It’s quite a thick pancake but maintains a nice crispness at the edges, and the peanut sauce is really flavoursome. Do bear in mind that this is more of a light meal than a starter.

Dr HH tried the ketchup crunch, which is a very unappetising name to me. The crunch part is the coating of these soy chunks, and they’re sitting a nice spicy sauce. Despite the name, this is a dish that is very much up my street, I love a good mock meat.

On our second visit, Dr HH ordered mandu kimchi for his starter and raved about them. He convinced me to try one, even though I’m not crazy about kimchi. They were indeed fantastic! The flavour wasn’t too fiery, so they were perfect for me. We both ultimately preferred this dish to his previous crunchy starter.

This is certainly one of the wok tossed dishes of noodles, vegetables, soy chunks, and kimchi, though we didn’t make a note of which one of the four. The freshness of the vegetables balances out any oiliness in the dish, and we really enjoyed it.

On our last visit, we ordered the BBQ menu for two, and it was quite the experience! Neither of us had ever had a dish like this before, so we were a bit worried about our ability to cook our own meal at the table – fortunately, the instructions from the waiter were perfect and he came back to check we’d switched everything off properly at the end. We got a plate of noodles, saucy soy meat, and raw veg, and cooked it up at our table.

It took a while, of course, but it was really tasty! And it was a very generous portion, I really didn’t need that pancake beforehand. The meat was the highlight, really saucy and flavoursome.

It was served with pickles and rice, making the meal even heartier. We were absolutely stuffed by the end, but very happy as well. It’s always fun to try a dish that you can’t get locally, and I’m already perusing the menu to see what new dishes we can try next time!
