Namu House Vibes✨
🍖 Dining Experience (BBQ Set + Kimchi Soup)
Okay, let's get to the fun part — a quick recap, as if we'd just returned:
Atmosphere & Service
• The restaurant is decorated warmly, with some trees and soft lighting, making it feel like a cozy cafe. But the smell of Korean food fills the air.
• There are tables with grills, and some even have a hot pot (hotpot) in the middle of the table.
• The staff will explain how to grill/boil each dish, which is helpful even if you've never done it before.
• The service can be a little "unsatisfactory" — some reviews mention being treated like a "sloppy" by the staff. The service was "rude", which was disappointing, even though the food was good.
Menu / Food Options
• For BBQ — Minimum order of 2 people.
• There are several meat options: Iberico pork, roast beef, shrimp, squid, vegetables, tofu, etc., which can be mixed and matched according to the package ordered.
• For Hotpot / Soup — If you choose the soup option, you add various ingredients to the soup pot and bring it to a boil, such as vegetables, ramen noodles, seafood, etc.
• Kimchi Stew (Kimchi Stew) is a dish that should be included in the hotpot / soup category. You get beef / pork / tofu + kimchi in a hot, medium-spicy broth, not too sour.
Taste & Eating Experience
• When grilling — The aroma of sesame oil + Korean sauce is overwhelming. The outside is slightly charred, but the inside is still juicy.
• Kimchi Soup — Boil until it's boiling, the broth permeates the soup, giving it a spicy flavor. There's a distinct kimchi aroma with a slight saltiness, but it's not overly spicy.
• The side dishes (banchan) are complete—kimchi, fresh vegetables, bean sprouts, seaweed, and various dipping sauces—which enhance the flavor and balance the main dish.
• While eating, the staff will help change the grill or bring out the cooked dishes—which is great for sharing in a group.
Points for Improvement/Warnings
• If you're traveling alone or ordering a small amount, it might not be worth it—as some dishes (BBQ/hotpot) require a minimum order of two people.
• Some reviews mention poor service from the staff—if you're unlucky, you might encounter someone with unsatisfactory service.
• While eating, the smell of food might cling to your hair or clothes—not a big deal, but if you're wearing light-colored clothing, some marks might show.
• It's quite time-consuming—because you have to grill and boil it yourself, so some dishes might take a while to prepare.
To summarize for my friends:
"Hey, if you ever get a chance to go to Karlsruhe, I highly recommend stopping by Namu House. It's located in the basement of Kaiserstraße 150, near Europaplatz. It's very cozy, and they have both grilled and kimchi soup to choose from. You can order a variety of dishes, grill them yourself, and boil them yourself. It's fun. It's even better if you go with a group. The taste is really good. But be prepared for some less-than-perfect service. If you're lucky, you'll find someone who provides good service." This will be an absolutely amazing meal!”
