My favourite Korean restaurant in London! Good location, great food, friendly staff and the price is reasonable. Just wondering if they have re-opened after the pandemic? As the phone number is not working anymore...

When I was there for the first time food was very good. After some time when I came back food wasnt good. I ate much better Korean food in London. I hope that it will be better again. Waiting for dishes is quite long too.

Absolutely loved this hidden restaurant, very quick and attentive service and the seafood dish I had was gorgeous. Very generous serving, and affordable too. I will definitely be back as I want to try all the dishes on the menu!

If possible I would have given zero stars. Food was’t that great and staff were downright racist. They simply denied a table initially and only gave table for 15 minutes, though there were no one waiting and plenty of tables empty! Never go there.. not worth it!

I am pretty sad. Because of the resturan...I am Korean, but I don’t want to recommend here.Small plate, tasty isn’t good.Other Korean restaurants are better.Hopefully, they improve the service about food.Have to have good quality.There are many people who want to try Korean food!

I wish I could give this a higher rating, because the food was really quite good, but unfortunately I have to agree with most reviews here in saying that the service is poor. The staff were actually mostly okay, but the restaurants owner is terribly rude and comes across as an arrogant jerk.We didnt want to order dessert because wed eaten a lot of food and were honestly quite full. This wasnt to the owners liking and he immediately brought us the bill, even though we still had half a bottle of wine to finish. We left the bill lying for another 15 minutes, since there were no people waiting for a table (it was 10.30pm and at least three tables were empty at this point) and we wanted to finish our wine. After those 15 minutes, he stomped back over to our table, with the card terminal in hand, saying (and I quote): sorry, youll have to leave since we need the table. Again, there were empty tables and no people waiting. He actually threw my friends credit card at her instead of politely handing it back.I dont know what was going on, but that was the poorest Ive ever been treated at a restaurant. If you can get past that, though, then this is worth a visit cause the food is nice.

Wonderful experience. I made a meal out of four appetizers. Excellent dumplings. Perfect Korean Fried Chicken. Kimchi! Soup and Hite beer. It could have fed two very easily.

Central location in London. Good food not excellent but nice theatre being about to cook your meat, fish or veg on a hot plate on the table.

This place is one of my favorites! Reasonable rates, big dishes and the employees are constantly very friendly.

Wow what an amazing place would 100% reccomend the customer service was absolutely great thank you to Joe and Megan for giving us a special birthday treat to our friend Winnie. We are so grateful. The food was so delicious and thank you for also helping us the the bbq, would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to have Korean food. Been to many Korean restaurants but this is hands down the best!! Thank you again for a great night will definitely be visiting again.

Went there for a birthday party on a SatHad private room, it was a really nice restaurant & but too busy that night, so services was poor, plus they ran out of rice so we only had 1 bow of it between 7 of us. At least the Food was well presented & tasty. Its not cheap either as we didnt order much drink or food & it came to £35 per head, I had to eat again when I got home.

I visit this place a lot since I work close by. I must say their service is always excellent and they keep the spot clean regularly. Rates are reasonable and they serve large portions.

A RESTAURANT THAT DOESNT WANT CUSTOMERS...This was definitely my guests choice and not mine (I preferred to try Hibiki down the road but she didnt fancy anything on the menu).Im always extremely fearful of restaurants that have out of date reviews plastered all over the outside. In this case it was a Time Out Review 11 years old. If youve done nothing worthy of getting a write up in 11 years you probably shouldnt be putting anything outside your venue.As we descended into the restaurant there was a sense of a lack of cleanliness, things that were old, torn and worn.Even though the sign outside clearly stated that last orders were at 14:30 at the restaurant closes at 15:00 our arrival at 14:20 was greeted with a Kitchens closed.I protested and another waiter asked how many of us were there (I wanted to make a gesture of shouting upstairs and saying come down everyone, as it was clear there was only 2 of us) and miraculously upon stating the bleeding obvious the kitchen reopened.You better be quick, Ill give you 3 minutes before I come and take your order was our waiters receptive greeting.As it happened we knew what we wanted, having selected our items from the menu outside, so was well prepared when he came back within the allotted time.We had tap water to drink and she ordered the Bokum Myun £8.50 and I the Tofu BiBimBap (which came with Miso Soup & pickles) £9.80.The dishes were brought with haste 5 minutes later.They looked fine, but not particularly appetising. They tasted ok. The hot stone bowl had over cooked the rice on the base.We were engrossed in conversation when the waiter came back a few minutes to tell us they close at 15:00 and wed need to hurry up.Normally when a restaurant closes (like a pub) you usually have 30 minutes afterwards to clear out.Not here.The pressure to get us out became so much that I asked for a take-away container to take nearly half my dish as I wasnt prepared to rush it.This didnt seem to bother any of the staff, though first they bought a container & a bag and I had to ask for disposable cutlery and was expected to transfer the food myself (not an easy task from bowl hot enough to burn fingers).The restaurant was literally dead when we arrived and at 3pm on the dot we were the last leaving.So definitely wont be back. The food is adequate and nothing more. The ambience stilted quiet and worn at the edges, the Michelin & Time Out Reviews long since lost to the annuls of time and the service totally unacceptable.Wouldnt go as far as steering away at all costs but with a better Korean (see above) just a few steps down the road it would be impossible to suggest even a try.Overall: Long since passed its sell by date.

I like this restaurant. Very good taste and good service. If you want to have authentic Korean food, I strongly recommend this restaurant.

Very decent price for the lunch menu. £8.50 for this whole plate of Korean style fried chicken, rice and salad. Lunch time is always quite busy. Service is okay. Just outside Holborn station.

Cosy, underground restaurant with delicious Korean food. The staff is very polite and helpful with the whole barbecue experience. Highly recommended.

Nice BBQ! Nice dessert and plentiful! ^^

Food ok, prices ok, service grumpy

Came here for lunch after a long long break (10-15 years perhaps). If the sundubu chige is representative of their overall quality, it is as good as I remember. Definitely will com back for dinner

The food is good, but there are better Korean restaurants in the area. Staff arent the friendliest.

My favourite Korean restaurant in London.

Decently priced - authentic food but smallish dishes. I’ve placed below for reference what a £12 beef dish, and a £12 chicken dish will get you. So not much as you can see.p.s If you thought this review or the images were helpful then please do like it to show your support :)

Recommend: bibimbap with raw beef and egg

Great experience and Korean barnecue

Very nice atmosphere and a good selection of meat based dishes as you would expect from a Korean restaurant. Not so good for vegetarian and worse for vegans. A good selection of teas offered hot or cold with the Korean root tea being a very strange yet interesting taste, well worth a try just to experience it!

Delicious bibimbap with a good value for money in central London!!!

Very good food but small portions and a bit pricey. Good atmosphere but they dont seem to have enough waiters around. Didnt have KBBQ so cannot speak to that. Wouldmmend for good Korean food in the area, but Oxford Circus does have better options in my opinion.

Once upon a time, I was a regular at this place.. This particular experience was my last:I had booked a table/private room for 9 for a family birthday, however we were made to wait a good 40 minutes past our reservation before the room freed up. We were made to stand at the bottom of the stairs, and my poor grandma (aged 90) had nowhere to sit during this excruciating wait. We had asked for a chair for her, but were told they had none free....When we finally got to our table/private room, my grandma and dad couldnt read the menu and so we brightened the lights (not massively), only to have someone coming back in to dim the lights each time. This back and forth happened maybe 3 times, before the manager came in to yell at us. Even after explaining the reason, he gave no apology, and expressed zero interest in catering to us. This the one and only time my family have ever done this, but we got up and left. Never in my life have I ever experienced such horrendous service.This happened a few years ago, but reading recent reviews, it seems nothing has changed, so thought Id contribute my experience. In the past, we had celebrated engagements, birthdays, and general gatherings at Asadal. Its a shame that they took a turn for the worse.

Reply: I had complained several times before, right after the food was served. As I’ve mentioned already in this review, none of your employees cared / provided appropriate service accordingly but instead they ignored me. I finished the food because your waiter handed them out late and I was absolutely starving. Since I never came across such ridiculous situation before, I must admit that I was naive at the scene. However that doesn’t justify the quality of service and the price for the dishes.I mentioned my father’s business with expectations for your fairer judgement and conscience since you were spewing out multiple of excuses by making assumptions that I’m not from here; that this is normal in London. Anyone, whether they’re locals or not, shouldn’t be treated like I was that evening. Lastly, I did not ‘feel’ interrogated. I was, you, asked repeatedly despite my refusal. I must correct your statement there.Avoid at all costs. I’m saying this as a Korean British. I know how expensive the food can get in London. Nevertheless, this place serves the worst Korean food ever. 1 person portion bulgogi(£9.5) is the size of my palm, dry, stringy and most of sauce got stuck right onto the grill. It really looked and tasted bad. I’m convinced that the meat’s been in the freezer for a very long time- judging by its texture and irregular sizes. Bulgogi can’t taste bad. But Asadal proves it can.A small sized stone bowl of Sullongtang(£10.50 + £2 for another tiny bowl of rice, which usually comes with the soup without extra charge) contained 4 slices of another bad quality meat in it, the broth is obviously not done right either, it lacked in depth of flavour(but it’s a beef bone broth) with a very few ingredients. It looked completely different from menu pictures- that’s against the law. Never have I tasted such low-quality Sullongtang in my life. It’s too generous to call their dishes ‘overpriced’.It gets even better with the quality of service. I have never been treated like that as a customer in my life. The critiques of this restaurant aren’t exaggerated. From what I observed, this business is still up and running by mostly ripping off non-Korean customers & tourists who doesn’t know about Korean cuisine well. During the meal, I complained to the owner’s wife and waiter but they really couldn’t care less. They’d unenthusiastically stare at me and the lady said “whatever” in Korean and walked past me. The grumpy-looking waiter did nothing but closed the grill with a lid and walked off.+ Ended up complaining again before asking for the bill cause I genuinely felt scammed and there’s no way I’d pay over £22 for such nonsense. This time, I asked if I can talk to the owner himself. Not only was he in denial the entire time, but he also interrogated me to find out where my father runs his business(are you freaking out of your mind?). I refused to enclose the deets but he asked me again and again. I really had enough with his rudeness and irresponsible attitude- 0 morality and conscience.I asked him to get rid of bulgogi in my bill but he insisted he wouldn’t and instead gave it a 50% off. Even that, he attempted to trick me so that he can charge a little bit more extra. Speechless. He mumbled ‘don’t pay then’ audibly as I walked out! I’m not interested in how shameless you are but you gotta stop degrading the impression of Korean cuisine and shut down the business if you’re too lazy to improve it. Disgraceful and sickening.

Superior quality and a generous portion for the price! The restaurant had very reasonable offers for lunch. I also had a very pleasant experience with the restaurant’s service. Strongly recommend for everyone looking for warm savoury comfort food!

I loved the food: sundae gukbap and kkanpunggi were rich not only in the quantity but for its quality. The service was superb, hope to go back soon. Really enjoyed the meal!

I always love Korean food and am very happy to have found this place. Food is amazing, so authentic with a reasonable price. The ambience is so relaxing and you can actually have a nice conversation with your friends without having to shout like some places Ive been. Staff are very helpful and friendly always willing to explain the menu. I would highly recommend this place.

Amazing Korean place - try the fried spicy chicken! Very clean, lovely space. As a group we enjoyed a multitude of bbq dishes and they were all amazing! I’m not sure why people have said the service was not good, we found it very responsive and warm! Definitely would return!! :)

I don’t know what everyone’s talking about. People are saying that this place is bad, but this was one of best Korean restaurants I have ever been to.The staff were very nice and the food was outstanding. If I could rate hygiene I would rate it a 4 since it’s a fresh and clean environment. The portion of the food was decent. Lots of people are talking about the portion size being small but I really don’t understand. My family and I love going to Asadal. No one should be caring about privacy since you can just book a room as well.Finally, I would definitely recommend everyone to have a taste of this wonderful restaurant and it’s a restaurant that no one can get away from. I am sure that I’m coming again and I hope that everyone else does too.

Absolutely AMAZING service. Joe was so lovely and welcoming. My friend Winnie had a lovely birthday there. Also thank you Megan for the delicious cinnamon drink. We will 100% come again :)

Food was excellent

I was regular customer for more than 1.5 years until last week they charged me £90 instead of the £8.5 plus 0.5 card payment fee. First of all the waiter who did it didnt even gave me a receipt from the card payment terminal and after he walked away my phone sent me notification that he took a payment of £90 from my Apple Pay. The manager came over and he wasnt really bothered about the whole thing. He said he wont do cash refund and he did a £81 refund which I have to wait 3-5 working days to receive back and they think its completely fine. Waiter personally never came back to me to apologise and nobody seems to be bothered about the whole thing. Just wait for your refund that was all the comment. This is the kind of experience what they want you to have if youre a regular customer and going to eat there on 2-3 times on monthly bases for more than a year. Also after this I went back again and they selling Rice cakes and fish cakes on the menu but actually they only give you the rice cake and they still expect you to pay the price they displaying on the menu for the price of rice plus fish cake together. They answer for this is just dont eat it if isnt like that. Manager has bad attitude and just coming up to argue with regular customers instead of he should just change the item on the menu and sell it as a rice cake only for a lower price because theres no fish so he shouldnt charge for something actually you never get. Also he were telling us that he dont want us to go there again. Well theres plenty of restaurants in London so I dont need to go to a place full of scumbags and unprofessional waiters who cant figure out a simple primary school math 8.5+0.5=9. Also the food quality is very poor, not like couple months ago, service slow and terrible and the management and customer care is unprofessional and not up to standards. Im not recommending this place to anyone, but if you decide to eat there try to avoid card payments because they might try to charge you 10x times more and then they will just get moody and give you attitude.

I dont understand all the low ratings. the atmosphere of the restaurant is great. the foods all have amazing tastes. i had a nice time and the staff was very kind and had good attitudes to customers. the portions of the food was just right to share with my friends and had good plating that will satisfy many aesthetic food pictures for Instagram. will visit soon again

Been a regular customer there due to their great price and food. However, the service is very poor, particularly by the owner. I believe the owner is rude because he knows he still has many customers coming. Who does he think he is? The only guy in the world giving us food? Its only a matter of time before regulars like me get sick of his rudeness.There is a reason why the service by the rest of the staff is poor too. They are quite frosty and not as friendly. This must be due to the vibe and attitude of the owner. If you are a regular to different restaurants, its obvious how the owner-staff relations affect the whole service.

Dont understand the low ratings here - been coming for years, bringing friends and recommending. Never been disappointed. Food always great, staff always nice. Will be back very soon

I don’t understand the low rating of this place. It’s definitely more than the current rating. Good price and really great potions especially the rice menus and Korean pancakes. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Its a great place for korean food... hope it will reopen soon.

Amazing place, great food. Well hidden, you would never think that this place is next to the tube station. The waiter was quite unfriendly though

Overpriced with the most ignorant and obnoxious staff I have ever encountered. The look of indignation on the waiter and waitress when I pointed out small portions caused amazement to both my wife and I. Living locally I know of several other Korean restaurants that are better in terms of food quality, significantly cheaper and will not insult their customers.

Overall food(specifically Galbi) was great and but portion was a bit small for its price considering normal portion for ordinary adult.But aside from that staffs were nice and a head manager of the restaurant was super helpful and thoughtful! Recommend for parties or some kind of social gathering

This is my favourite place for Korean food in London, they introduced me to the wonder of bibimbap. Food always top quality and service swift and friendly. Been coming for years and will continue to do so!

Excellent place. Very nice food. The barbeque was delicious and quite large. The owner is friendly. Recommended

It is really nice Korean restaurant. That gives you the experience of Korean cuisine. Also with lovely staff.

Lovely Korean food, especially good value around lunchtime!

Only four stars because of the owner she is nasty. Go on Monday cause she is not there. Despite this all the dishes are very good.

Amazing food

Great Korean restaurant, I had lunch on a Saturday here, didnt have Korean BBQ but normal menu.This is a very comfortable restaurant, food seems authentic, portions are quite big.tip: the green tea they have there is wonderful, absolutely not the tasteless kind you get in a typical chain restaurant.

Love this place. The hot bowls are out of this world. Never disappointed coming here

It’s actually insane how unfair the negative reviews are on here. I’ve been going here for years and Asadal is great value, the barbecue is always really tasty, and comments about service are totally unwarranted. The bossman is super nice and only ever accommodating.

Classic Korean food in a lovely atmosphere. Easy to miss the entrance though!

A shop that we will never returnService was awful , waitress attitude and expression show that she doesnt care about customer.

Fabulous food and a very keen attention to detail. Service was fantastic!! Could not recommend highly enough :)

Amazing service and great food! Asadal were extremely helpful in surprising my friend for her birthday! Thank you!

The quality and standard of the food is very good here, but unfortunately the service is not the best. We went there for lunch, and there was a 10 minute gap between my husbands food arriving and mine. When it did arrive there was no apology. The table next to us had exactly the same issue. We waited for ages for the bill and eventually just got up and paid at the entrance. It is a shame, as the lunch menu is interesting, but the service really does let it down. I had the beef lunch box which came with miso and a selection of sides. I dont know what they were, as they didnt explain! My husband had the seafood bibimbab which he said was flavoursome and well done.

Didn’t think broth was up to an adequate standard. Bbq might be better. Service was very quick.

Staff were super attentive and considerate. Food and experience was definitely worth the price and would visit again.

Service is very inconsistent at this restaurant. On most days, the waiters are rude and unfriendly, and they seem to rush you through your meal.They serve the smallest portions in London, e.g. they expect you to share their tiny ‘complimentary’ pickle side dishes between the whole table. They won’t give you extras regardless of your table size. What a joke.The quality of this restaurant is at an all time low. I suspect that the poor service quality is due to the management style of the owner. He should realise that there are better Korean restaurants that offer better prices, larger portions, and tastier food, that are within a 5 minute walk from this restaurant.Not recommended. Go elsewhere!

Service is poor. They questioned why we asked for chili sauce and then brought up a tiny saucer of soy for a table of 7. Took a while to get the bill. Food was good so give it an extra star.

Great little find, you will miss it though if your not looking for it. Right next to the station there a small door that goes downstairs! Great Korean food, been several times and it’s never disappointed, the Korean BBQ is great and there’s lots of mains to choose from too

Prepared BBQ for 1.5 hour??and no sorry or any excuse, just ask do you want to cancel? I had Korean food for many times and ever lived in Korea and Japan for many years, worst service!!

Lovely food, attentive staff and reasonable prices! Dont listen to the low reviews, they dont know what theyre on about!

I really don’t understand the bad reviews, I love this place! Staff are always lovely, and the food is great. My favourite dishes are the seafood pancake and the sweet chilli chicken, and their kimchi is so good! We go often and will definitely be visiting again soonUpdate: Have just visited again this evening (1/7/19) and it was great, once again. 10/10 guys! Good service & really lovely food.

Found this little gem on our first night in London - food was good enough for us to come back a second time!Authentic Korean with tasty, well-priced food coupled with relatively attentive service. Would recommend for anyone who enjoys Korean (fried chicken and bimipaps were amazing!)

Ive been going to this restaurant for over 10 years now and have introduced all my friends and they all have introduced theirs. It sickens me to read some of the ridiculous 1 star reviews and if you havent guessed already these are competitors who are using social media to attack what is widely considered as the best UK Korean restaurant AMONGST KOREANS!! And you know what they say about restaurants full of locals ... the guys who own this place paved they way for korean food in the UK from the beginning ... dont be fooled by theses hopeless attachers ...

Very poor food and attitude from all servers in the joint. Definitely won’t recommend anyone to spoil their day here

The place is truly amazing. The food is on a really high level while you are left with a classy and sophisticated feeling after your stay there. The Korean culture is very interesting, and so are its meals. I recommend the restaurant to everyone who is in the search for a new and interesting lunch.

Very good food, been there few times with groups of 4-10 people and everyone consistently loved it.Average meal (starter, main, drink) costs 20-30£.Great selection of meat, but some vegetarian mains would be nice to have, please![For vegetarians/vegans: the Bibimbap base is vegan, egg is extra]Would love to see some nice desserts on the menu too.

Really good and affordable set lunches here.the decor is very nice.service is good.great place for lunch but be prepared for a slight wait.

Authentic Korean food. Try the pancakes for starters. Single hotpots better than big ones. Full dinner including wine and tip about £35 per person.

Surprised the average review is not higher. Super convenient location as right next to holborn. Great food, extensive menu and as a Londoner, i appreciate a spacious and good venue which is exactly what this place is

We booked for 6 people for 7:30pm. We were told that we if arrived early we would be seated early, so some of us did. But were then told to wait in line. After everyone was seated in a little corner tucked away and resembles a private room (which we quite liked as the place is very loud) we then waited for over 30 minutes before anyone came to get our order. This was after we sent someone out twice to get their attention.The food, once it came, was overall good. The meat were well marinated, soft and juicy. The desserts though was just average. The green tea ice cream wasnt smooth and fresh, which was disappointing as its an Asian speciality.I would go back but this place is really interchangeable with a lot of the Korean restaurants around the area, so I wouldnt rush back.

Great place , great tasting food friendly place. Good service.

Nice place. Quality was so nice , good to visit

I’m a royal customer. Always come here for quick lunch or dinner but the services have been poor as always. Impatiently waiting for me to order and escorting me out right after I pay the bill when the restaurant is not even that busy.! Seriously what is the rush here!!

It was alright, food was nice. We were in a large group and the staff bought the raw meat over and cooked it for us off the table, which kind of took the fun out of it as we were just paying £9 or so per dish of already cooked meat... Kintan is the best. If you can hold out, I would go there.

Quiet and reasonably-priced Korean restaurant that is located next door to Holborn station. Ive tried the bibimbab and chi gae. Both were good

Visited several times. Large and spacious environment located at the basement. Serves traditional Korean food from noodles and rice (under £20 )dishes to Korean BBQ.(around £35 per person).

Ive eaten at a number of Korean restaurants of late and this is my favourite in London so far. The barbecue cooked at your table is fantastic and the wait staff are really nice!Personal highlights are: beef rib barbecue and the dumplings. Seriously great quality food for the price!

It was one of my favourite Korean places in London.Today, I took a friend who came all the way from the states to visit me and wish to spend Thanksgiving together, I wanted to show her how amazing this place was, but the whole experience was dreadfully awkward.Ive been attending Korean lessons for a few months and made a lot of friendly Korean friends, so I thought it would nice if I could order our food in Korean which Ive done before and all went OK, some Korean waiters even taught me a few phrases, well I didnt expect that. After I spoke a few Korean words, the elder waiter seemed very snobbish and interrupted me outrageously.“Chinese or Korean?” “Chinese speak English OK?”.What kind of attitude was that? If the restaurant was busy I wouldn’t have spoken in Korean but it wasn’t. After he put an affront upon me, the entire lunch became really cringe. I don’t understand how can someone command his customer with such an abrasive attitude like a North Korean solider trying to stop people across the border:) To someone who loves their culture and food? What a shame! And how frustrated those people who put efforts to popularise Korean and its culture will be? ! Please appreciate and respect your job! Treat your customer in a proper way! And thank you for ruining our thanksgiving!I wouldn’t choose to go back. Please avoid at all the cost unless you really want to be treated like a North Korean prisoner!

Wow. Just wow. I complained about the portion of my food and the waiter said i didn’t cook it. And left. The nastiest attitude. I’m upset i came to this restaurant without looking up the reviews. Message to the owner: there are so many bad reviews here about your rude service, why don’t you fix it.Don’t come here. Avoid at all cost

Tasty Korean food - I get my bibimbap with soju. Nice relaxing ambience for which one can chill out with friends for the whole evening. A 3 star review because they charged me £1 for extra fresh chillies - like, really?!

BBQ Beef, lettuce,spring onions, mild chilli sauce ....... Brilliant. Tea and soup to start £25. Nice place, dont be put off by the cellar entrance next to High Holborn tube station.

It was recommended to me this retaurant is a great venue and to my surprise, it was an understatement! Amazing authentic korean food! Highly recommended.

Beautiful BBQ meats. Amazing range of starters. Helpful, friendly staff who guided us through the menu. Maybe a little pricey.

Horrible place. Overpriced, small portions, terrible service, was a big mistake going there for such an expensive horrible meal. Do not go there!!!

I wouldnt recommend. its pricey and the dishes are too small. the fried rice cake could not be worse--I could do better myself. the service varies. A strong waiter was especially rude when we asked are the dishes enough for four he just shrugged and said nothing and walked away with our menus --of course they turned out to be too little. but another old lady was much more patient. Overall, wont go again.

Amazing food! My go to korean place in london and easily accessible by underground

Whoever classifies this as authentic Korean food probably never had Korean food. It wasnt bad per se but it did not taste like Korean food at all. It tasted more like a weird Chinese/Korean combination, but with much less spice and rather sweet. Really overpriced for this quality, especially when there are better options in the same area. The kimchi was honestly the worst kimchi Ive ever tasted.Again, not bad but not great either. If you havent had much experience with Korean food, you might find it more enjoyable.

Good food, polite staff, convenient location. Always quite busy, but not a long wait. Booking ahead is a good idea.

Service is quick during lunch time rush hour. The food is tasty too. We love the pajeon the most!

Im a regular. It certainly used to be my favourite Korean but its standards have dropped. Staff friendliness is also not the best.

I have been here with my partner and a friend. We did not have a reservation but we were accomodated with a table immediately which is more than rare in most places on Friday nights.The ambiance was really nice and the place looks generally quite lovely.We ordered the recommended amount of food but it was nowhere near enough and, even after having added an extra bbq portion, we definitely left hungry.All the food was generally good but very few things actually stood out, our favourite was probably the chicken.The staff we had to deal with was quite nice apart from a couple of people who seemed annoyed at us and one waiter who spilled sauces on our table and did not bother to clean it. The conversation was disrupted by the continuous traffic of people at our table who were cooking for us which makes it not the nicest place for conversations.At the end of the dinner, with a grand total of 193£, of which only 17.50£ for a bottle of plum wine (the only drink we ordered other than tap water), I felt quite ripped off.As an additional recommendation, if you like to cook your own meal when going to a bbq place this is not the place for you. All the staff cooks for the diners to the point it feels suffocating and two waiters ended up unknowingly fighting over the temperature. It went much better with the extra portion we added later as we had only one person taking care of our bbq which was very well looked after.

Looks really tatty from the outside, but was extremely pleasantly surprised at how great the food was. One of the best Korean’s I’ve had. Will be back.

A great Korean restaurant but there is a real difference between lunch and dinner.I would suggest going for lunch for a huge plate for less than a tenner.Dinner is great if you want to go for the full on Korean BBQ but it can get a bit pricey quickly.

Not my favourite Korean restaurant. I went for dinner few days ago with my friend. The first thing is that they took ages to take our order. Not only this, but also, my food was delivered 10 minutes earlier than my friends order (what is pretty unacceptable as gives a clear idea about how disorganised the kitchen is). My friend complained about this, the waitress just said Im sorry. When I order the bill, I had literally to raise my hand to catch someones attention, as not a single member of the staff was around, and they did not even removed the service charge for the inconvenience caused. Food was okay but its clearly overpriced, not only about the quality of the food but also about the service.
