Volcano Chicken & Healing Broths: Inside 89Anju, Munich’s Korean Gem

The vibe inside is electric, with exposed brick walls, sleek wooden accents, and pops of neon lights that give the space a cool, urban edge – like a stylish Seoul street food spot, right in the heart of Bavaria.

But the real thrill is the food. Every dish shows the kitchen’s passion—flavor-packed, beautifully presented, and served with lightning speed.

Here are our top recommendations:

The first bite is an explosion of textures and tastes—spicy, tangy, smoky, and umami-rich, all in one dish.

The fermented kimchi brings a punchy, sour-spicy kick, while the runny yolk from the fried egg adds a luscious creaminess.

The dish comes topped with nori flakes that add a deep oceanic umami and savory depth.

Sweet sausage cubes (spam) give a subtle meaty sweetness, balancing the kimchi’s acidity.

Zucchini and onions lend a light sweetness and freshness, keeping the dish juicy (not dry at all!).

Toasted sesame seeds bring a nutty aroma, while a smoky char from the wok lingers in the background.

Pro Tip: Mix everything together—the yolk, kimchi, nori, and sausage—for the ultimate comfort bite. The flavors are pickled, spicy, and slightly sweet – it’s hearty and addictive!

A masterpiece of slow-cooked goodness. This hearty beef short rib soup is simmered for hours until the broth turns rich, brownish, and deeply flavorful, while the meat becomes fall-off-the-bone tender.

The soup is lightly peppery, deeply umami, with a sweet undertone from collagen and marrow extracted from long, slow stewing. It’s not salty or heavy—just clean, beefy flavor.

Floating inside are green onions, slippery, slightly chewy glass noodles, white radish and generous chunks of short rib. The meat is lean, mildly chewy but tender enough to dissolve with a slight pressure.

The salt and pepper mix is served on the side to tailor the taste. Bath a spoon of rice in the soup, it’ll turn into a comforting porridge-like bite that’s incredibly soothing.
