Luisenstraße 47, 80333 München, Germany · Korean restaurant, Restaurant · 4.5/5 Google (1577 reviews)

Reservations · Delivery · Takeout · Outdoor seating

Modern Korean spot with standout fried chicken and desserts, quick service, and a 90‑minute seating limit; prices lean high but portions are decent.

Why it gets a B+ for overall quality

Anju delivers solid neighborhood Korean dining with strong food quality in standout dishes like double-fried chicken and Lotus cheesecake, supported by friendly, attentive service and quick pacing. However, inconsistent execution—particularly sauced items losing crispness— and cramped seating with a 90-minute limit prevent grade A territory. Competitive with Munich's better Korean options but lacks the polish or distinction of top-tier establishments.

Restaurant Summary

Lively and modern, this central Korean spot buzzes with K-pop posters, quick pacing, and a firm 90‑minute seating rule. Service is often friendly and swift, and plates land fast. One diner noted, "Food came quickly and the team stayed upbeat." Prices feel central-Munich, with portions that usually satisfy. The cooking leans comfort-first Korean with crisp double-fried chicken, japchae, bibimbap, and a few modern sweets. When the kitchen is on form, chicken crackles and sauces sing, though sauced pieces can soften. Desserts like the Lotus cheesecake win fans despite a petite slice. Expect bright, accessible flavors more than deep traditional intensity. Families will find kid-friendly options like boneless fried chicken, mild japchae, steamed rice, and sweet popsicles. No kids menu is listed, but portions are shareable. The lively room suits earlier dinners with children; late peak hours can be loud, and the time limit shortens leisurely family meals.
