Found this cosy Korean restaurant on my way back to the station which can be easily missed, as the restaurant is actually located in the basement with a small signee entrance on the street. The space is a bit packed but the service is attentive.
Wasn’t feeling too hungry so just ordered the japchae and soybean chige which is a rich soybean soup with seafood, tofu and vegetables. The japchae is very flavourful and it is definitely a good surprise, and in comparison the soybean soup is not as special with lots of cucumbers and spring onions instead of a wide range of vegetables as I previously expected.
This place is easy to miss. It’s at the corner of Regent Street in Cambridge and there are steps down to a basement that lead to the restaurant. Service was swift and friendly, so this is good for work lunch when you have limited time. Bibimbap was delicious and other dishes were tasty and well presented. Great for lunch or dinner. Will definitely return.
We were in the mood for some Korean food the other night and decided to try this restaurant in Cambridge. The restaurant is located in a busy road and the nearest parking is less than 10min walk. No booking was needed, we just walked in. The front of the house was friendly and directed us to our table. The waitress was also friendly and our order was taken quickly. The food was ready quickly and didn’t have to wait too long.
The food was ok but nothing to be excited about. The best dish was the chicken wings and the pork dumplings. It was finger licking good! Portions were decent and we left the place feeling full.
The bill was ok, not very expensive for what we had.

The best kimchi jigae I’ve ever had in Cambridge. Bimbimbap and bulgogi are delicious as well. Fair price and staffs are very friendly. I would go there again for kimchi jigae 😋
Tasty Korean dishes and very friendly staffs. The dishes are served very fast.
Little Seoul is housed in the basement of a building, insulating its diners from the noise of the cars on the busy main road it sits besides.
The waitress was lovely: very polite, patient and attentive. While we waited for our order, she brought us a complimentary egg roll and tofu in soy sauce.
We started with some sweet chilli fried chicken - gorgeous meat, thick breaded exterior, and leaning more on the side of chilli and less on sweet. We also enjoyed the seafood and tofu soup with rice - a decidedly fishy flavour, tempered by the neutrality of the tofu. A bim bam bop of assorted goodies including meat (beef?) pieces and a fried egg came with a miso soup. Lastly for mains, we had a sizzling plate of rib meat with the most wonderful fried onions I've ever enjoyed.
Dessert was a red bean sorbet: an assortment of fruit, red beans and condensed milk upon shaved ice.
I particularly liked receiving my Diet Coke in a glass bottle (it just always tastes better!).
Together with a second drink and gratuity, the total was £55.55.
The only thing preventing me from choosing 5* is the lack of natural light, and the slightly more spicy than sweet profile of the chicken.
The restaurant has a very cozy vibe. Could sit there all day. The staff was very kind and made us feel at home.
They have a great menu with a selection of Korean food and beverages. The food arrived quickly and was probably one of the tastiest Korean meals I’ve had in a while. I would definitely recommend stopping by here.
Food is amazing. Best Korean in Cambridge.
Always get vegetarian bibimbap.
Spicy or honey rice cakes are good, but for the price they cost they could afford to put in extra rice cakes.
Always served with side dishes which taste good.
Overall, really recomend Little Seoul! 👌🏻
I could eat here EVERYDAY!!! The food is amazing and the service is unmatched!! I've eaten here 5 times since June and the food gets better and better every time. Kimchi - PERFECT! Bulgogi - PERFECT!! Budae jigae - PERFECT!! I lived in Seoul for 3 years and this food takes me back there instantly 🙌🏾🙌🏾 I would strongly recommend you cancel tonight's dinner plans and eat here!!
It was so rainy outside and I came in drenched, however, our servers were lovely, especially Anna and Minhha. It was so cute and cosy. I would defo recommend if you want to go for a little date or an evening meal.
My sister and I discovered this place like a month ago and lemme just say: WE LOVED IT.
We were craving korean food and we found this place in the main street. The staff is so so so nice, they helped us finding vegetarian options and their service was incredible fast.
The food was amazing, so tasty and delicious. We loved hearing kpop in the background, it brought us memories from our last trip to Seoul.
We really recommend this restaurant, 10/10, we cannot wait to go back!
Food was very good. Their food is very light so we ended up ordering more which became a little pricey. Overall satisfied with quality and taste.
Amazing food with big portions for the price. Staff is really nice and friendly, highly recommend!
I liked the food and service, recommend 👍🏻
The food tasted very good and the service was at high standard they even gave me 2 small chocolate when I paid the bill 😻 appreciate it 💕
This was my first time experiencing Korean food and I was pleasantly surprised. The portions are a bit small but I guess that's everywhere in England. Overall I enjoyed my food
Delicious food. The best Korean restaurant in Cambridge with quality and very friendly and helpful staff.
Great taste at relatively cheap prices. If you can, go for lunch here: you get 2 small starters, 1 soup and a main for £7.20!
