A little treasure on a rainy evening! The staff were friendly but not intrusive. The selections were just right for a small meal. The rice on one selection was cooked with sesame oil and crisped just a bit at the bottom of the bowl to add a nutty crunch. The broth was lovely and subtle. We were the only non-Asians in the place and I had the feeling we had stumbled upon a hidden gem.
My favorite Korean restaurant. I like their chapchae. The atmosphere is intimate and the service very polite and unintrusive. It is reasonably price and liked by Korean crowds.
I alternate between going here and Seoul Bakery. I don't have a favorite between the two, because there are pros and cons to both. Food is definitely served quicker here, though, so that's a bonus.
Not too wide of a selection when it comes to food, but I'm the kind of person who doesn't mind eating the same thing all the time so it doesn't matter to me as much. Slices of korean pancakes are huge and only cost a pound, so I usually get two. With that plus kimbap, I'm set. I think the bibimbap here is ever so slightly bigger than the portion over at SB, but I like to put a lot of gochujang on mine so I'm not really sure if there's a marked difference. Oops.
Still, you can't go wrong with this place. It's right next to the British Museum, so if you play your cards right you can visit the museum for free and then come here and spend less than a tenner for your lunch. Not a bad way to save money in this expensive city, I think.
