This is a Korean & Japanese restaurant that's tucked away in this apartment complex. Turn left when you reach the cylinder building.
Yes they do All You Can Eat Sushi + 7 hot food items for £16.80, within a 1.5hrs sitting. But tonight we decided to go for their Korean options. We ordered a kimchi pancake to start, samgybsal - grilled pork belly to share and a bibimbap each (prawn for me and bulgogi beef for my friend), which also came with miso soup. We failed to read that on the menu but I thought they should have said something when my friend ordered an (additional) miso. However it was pretty good miso and I have high standard of miso soups. Our bill came to just under £21 each but we may have over-ordered (eyes bigger than stomach etc).
I have to say that was a very enjoyable kimchi pancake. I have had some terrible ones, which are wet and falls to pieces when you pick it up with your chopsticks and generally making it looks like a dog's breakfast. This one comes cut up into pieces and with a yummy dipping sauce. We ordered our bibimbap with an egg added, I was disappointed it was a fried egg, not a raw or even a runny fried egg. I had chickened out and went for the seafood sauce instead of the spicy sauce, and regretted that this was not spicy at all. However my friend's bibimbap that should come with the spicy sauce doesn't seem spicy either. Overall the bibimbap was adequate and a good portion. The grilled pork belly was something else, it didn't look too much like pork belly with the fat showing but it was so delicious. It came stacked on top of onions on a sizzling hot plate (no cooking required from me), and I feel like I can just be happy with this and a bowl of rice.
This is a pretty good suburban restaurant. I haven't tried the Japanese offerings so can't comment on the quality (and quality is especially important when it comes to Japanese and raw fishes). It is quite clean, a fairly large place that is family friendly and offers takeaway

I tried only Japanese dishes and what a great food experience it was! Everything ordered was very tasty and full of flavour. Service was friendly and kind. I only wish I live closer. But this place really inspired me to try more Japanese food and make miso at home.

Dined here after a motinee at The Space and was not disappointed. Staff were super polite and friendly. The are separate menus for Japanese and Korean dishes which makes it easy to select what you want. I ordered the prawn gyozas and king prawn bipambap all of which was fresh and delicious. I was asked if I wanted mochi and couldn't be rude. Lovely way to finish off my meal. There was no rush to leave and I did not feel awkward dining alone. Will definitely visit again.

It’s not a bad spot for some local Korean and Japanese food. The service was good though. For the Korean Fried Chicken they used chicken thigh which was good as it was still juicy and tender.

Worth your taste buds... I was looking for somewhere oriental to bring the family and landed upon this place cause it was nearby and had a mixture of two cuisines which was just perfect. They do say there is parking but we were not sure if you could park just outside or down the main road, we didn't risk it so went with the latter. The location wasn't hard to find, just one of the inside roads which leads to the restaurant. The interior was pretty nicely setup, had a nice aura about it. The main reason to pop down here is for the food, they had many options of the two cultures to choose from. The sizes of portions were larger than we expected, which meant we had to doggy bag just less than half of what we ordered. Food quality was rather good too, tasted pretty fresh that day. The staff were helpful in helping us with things we needed to know, which is a great help. They also do takeaways, we noticed that they had plenty of delivery drivers picking up food to be delivered meaning business was good. Highly recommend.

Surprise visit and surprise food/service. All I can say is, the food was very good considering the prices. Service by the staff was good and everyone seemed super nice. I would recommend coming here, I mean we trekked from the Royal Observatory to work up an appetite! Yum! Very likely come again...

Thoroughly enjoyed the food here. Korean was better than Japanese IMHO. Had Vegetarian in party - they really enjoyed their kimchi and Bibimbap. Meats: Korean Fried Chicken was on point. Really really good... Otherwise: Parking is a bit of a pain... Have to find somewhere on nearby Westferry Road and pay via phone (~£8 for two hours). In short: RECOMMEND.

Clean and authentic style restaurant. Very welcoming staff and amazing food. The place is slightly off the main road but is a true gem in the area, overlooking the riverside. Japanese and Korean cuisine here dishes with a range of Rice, Noodle, Soup and BBQ / Sizzling dishes. 10/10

When you can't choose between Korean and Japanese cuisine, have both! I've been to this restaurant a few times now and it does not disappoint. It's cosy, relaxed and the service has always been great. If you love sushi and wasabi, I highly recommend the Hot Special Roll - Tower Bridge. It's the main reason I come to this restaurant and in my opinion, the best sushi special in London!

Very pleased with our Bibimbaps! We ordered a Tiger Prawn Bibimbap, and also a marinated beef Bibimbap. They arrived promptly after with miso soup and chilli sauce. We also ordered a 6pc sushi maki dish with salmon and avocado. The portion size was generous and were bigger than usual maki St other restaurants. We probably ordered too much food for 2 people, but were delighted and will definitely return!

Overwhelming portions! Me and my partner love korean BBQ so we gave this restaurant a try. We ordered a set BBQ platter and the amount of meat and veg was amazing! Didnt seem frozen and taste realy good. We also ordered one of the Japanese pancakes. We struggled to finish it all and had to take half of the pancake home which the staff were nice about giving us a box to put it in. Compared to places we have been in central London this place is well worth going a bit out of town for. I would highly recommend. Make sure to take cash as they offer a discount if you pay with cash

Amazing Sushi at this place, in particular you must try the London Bridge roll. It is very unique and unlike any other roll I have tried. The Korean is also pretty good here.

Little hidden gem. An extensive menu of Japanese and Korean favourites! We really enjoyed the sashimi, KFC, and pajeon. We'll definitely be back to try more soon.

We had a birthday dinner yesterday evening, the food, portions, service and prices were amazing! This is a hidden gem in the docklands, highly recommended. Looking forward to my next visit. The Salmon Teriyaki was so good...

As a Korean, it’s hard to find a decent Korean restaurant in London but this one was pretty good. Nice atmosphere and decent price! Tteokbokki was very similar to what I eat in Korea and good portion.. but I don’t recommend sundubu-kimchi jjigae cuz it tastes more like ramen soup than kimchi taste what it’s supposed to be. I was disappointed of it but japchae was good. We sat at the edge and waiters seem forget about us even tho there were a few tables eating. We had to wait a lot. Overall food was fast but service was very slow.

Went here for my birthday last week, Yokoso have friendly staff, the options on the menu made it hard to choose because so many good things to order. Would recommend getting the Cheese Buldak, Chahan (Japanese Menu), Pa Jeon and Yangnyeom KFC washed down with some Soju. 10/10 would recommend. Definitely coming back.
