I must have just hit lucky as myself and my son got a table straight away, the waitress explained the menu as neither of us had tried Korean food before,we had the Bibimbap which we both agreed was completely delicious
First time eating Korean food and it was delicious! Would definitely recommend it!
Had lunch there yesterday with my 3 teenage daughters. The food was fantastic and the staff were very friendly. I will be back next time I am in London. Loved it. Now looking for a bibimbap in Glasgow!
It was my 3rd time visiting Bibimbap Soho and I can wait to come again. The food is so fresh and tasty. The service is quick and polite and the beer is cold. Definitely my favourite place to visit when in Soho.
I love the chilli chicken bibimbap here. Can't find that taste anywhere else. I'm a regular customer here and their service and hospitality never disappointed me.
Never eaten anything like this! There's a first for everything and this food was insane�
Delicious food, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and quick service!
We love this Korean restaurant in Greek Street. My daughter is dairy-free, so the food is perfect for her. The squid is amazing, really crunchy and spicy. Pork and vegetable dumplings are delicious and full of flavour. We always have the bibimbap and love the different textures and flavours all in one bowl.Service is always quick too & it's amazing value for money. This was our fourth visit & we'll definitely be back
Amazing food, friendly staff and they cater for vegans/ vegetarians. I'll definitely eat here again next time I'm in London
Excellent service, food and price! Highly recommended!
Excellent Korean food, so I recommend highly in London's eternally fascinating Soho district.
We loved the food here. Although the tables are a little small to fit in the big bowls, the food is amazing. We tried Korean Fried Chicken, Chicken Ramen and Mixed Seafood Bibimbap. We loved it all.
Korean food and yes I am there....ample options for food ...must try their pancake, bibimbap, korean chicken everything tastes so good. ..you will definitely come back for more.
This place is great. The staffs are very nice and quick. We ordered seafood pancake, kimchi, korean fried chicken, ramyeon, and bimbimbap. The star is the ramyeon, I think it is the best! A bit disappointed with the fried chicken, the batter is soggy not crispy at all. Bimbimbap is okay but I have eaten better, I would love to have a lot of gochujang sauce in there. Seafood pancake also not exceptional. But I will definitely go back for the ramyeon!!
Bibimbap in Soho is famous for the Korean dish of the same name. This place has a no-frills approach to the décor and overall ambience but that is because the focus is on the food (where it excels). For those not familiar, Bibimbap literally means “mixed rice” and it is rice topped with mixed vegetables, sauces and then you have options of egg, tofu or meat. The dish is served in a hot stone bowl which cooks the ingredients as you stir them up creating a sizzling delicacy.

For my very last office lunch in Soho, the guys and I headed around the corner to Bibimbap. As you can imagine, it’s a focus on the the signature Korean hot stone bowls of the same name. Bibimbap literally translates to “mixed rice’ and the dish was conceived as a means to use up leftovers. These days it’s a bespoke experience and at Bibimbap you can choose what kind of rice, topping and if you want an egg as well. It’s at a neat price, most of the options would end up under £10. I also got a side of the Korean fried chicken which I quite enjoyed, I did find the pieces not so meaty though. It was coating heavy but a nice coating at that. It’s a generous size and the beef I had on mine was tasty. There’s a diverse mix of vegetables for mixing in and I enjoyed the bibimbap like I always do. The high temperature of the bowl keeps it toasty for a good while. This almost encourages you to take your time and savour every bite. You do need to mix in some soy or Gochujang as it not that flavourful without it.
Quick to get a table with friendly service. The food was great ~ beef cooked to perfection. Highly recommend and price is worth the amount you receive.
Awesome price for quality ratio. Extremely central, good, affordable food. The hot stone bowl is great but will come back for the dumplings!!
Arrived 5 minutes before they stopped receiving last order. But as recommended, the bool-go-gi / bulgogi bibimbap was very tasty. Tried it with brown rice, completed with fried egg and topped with chili sauce (forgot the name of the other sauce inside the yellow tube). A bit rushing while eating (because they were going to close) (and the food was hot) but it didn't matter because the food was pleasing.
A vibrant Korean restaurant at the heart of Soho. Pricing is surprisingly reasonable. Had Beef Bul-gogi Bibimbap, came very quickly and still hot in a stone bowl. Tasted nostalgic, not unlike what could be found in Seoul. Do use gochujang (spicy bean sauce) and mix veggies, beef and rice thoroughly (after taking pics and) before eating.
Spaces are limited so expect to queue, especially on weekend, even past lunch time. Decor is youthful with K-Pop posters pasted on the wall--again, just like how it was at trendy Seoul eateries.
It was probably the first time I was introduced to Korean food.
I went there with colleagues. I wasn't sure what to get but with some help, decided to go for Dol Sot. It was basically rice served in a hot pot, topped with an fried egg and veggies.
The food was an absolute delight. Have been enjoying Korean cuisine since then.
Bibimbap serves good, inexpensive Korean food right in the heart of Soho, at Greek Street.... I ate at this restaurant some time ago, on the recommendation of a friend, having never tried Korean food before.
The service is quick and do try the kimchi pancakes.
Calm place, nice enviroment and good service.
The food was tasty and very good for the price. I recommend it if you feel like trying something new :)
This is one of my favourite places in Soho. It’s always a delight eating here and can see why there are always long queues. The menu is simple but the food is done so well. I have only tried the vegetarian dishes but find them all fantastic I can never say no to their Kimchi pancakes too. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants any authentic taste to Korean food.
Brilliant, simple and wholesome Korean food served in a hot stone pot with a perfect balance for meat and veg and flavours. Good for a quick, healthy and yet delicious meal in Soho! Highly recommend.
Loved the sizzling hot bibimbap! I had the brown rice Dol Sot bibimpbap and it was delicious. Soho branch is cute and vibrant and was pretty packed despite it being Tuesday lunchtime. Definitely worth visiting 😋
Came here for a girls night dinner, really loved the spicy pork bibimbap served with a raw egg! The portion size was quite good, definitely more than enough to keep you full. Service was great, we wanted to split the bill paying seperately and they were more than happy to help us do that!
Lovely food, reasonable prices, must try the kimchi, decent vegetarian spread :-) ...
Place gets crowded and doesn't take reservations hence get there early or be prepared to wait 15 min or so. But I d still wait cos the food is so worth it.
Korean food is the new trend this season apparently, forget burgers, it's all about grilling at the table and raw food in hot stone bowls!. I went to Bibimbap in Soho to try out the national dish of bibimbap and a few extra bits - it'd be rude not to. Raw beef, raw egg, vegetables and rice in a hot stone bowl. After quite a bit of mixing my beef was cooked and it was delicious. It's a bit of a novelty for non-Koreans I guess, as you sort of end up cooking it yourself (CIY instead of DIY) in a way.

I had this on my list of restaurants for a while. When out on a rainy day in Soho we decided to give this place a try. It's a tiny place on Greek street that is more like a cafe than a restaurant. It's an ideal place to catch up with friends over a steaming hot meal on a rainy day.
We all chose the Bibimbap with different kinds of meat. Bibimbap simply means mixed rice. They provide you with steps to choose the various elements and then assemble the meal accordingly. You can choose between Brown Rice or White Rice, then the type of meat (spicy chicken, spicy pork, bulgogi beef, etc.), choice between a raw egg or fried egg and finally if you want it in a hot stone bowl or a regular bowl. Each of us chose a different variation however we all went for the hot stone bowl. As a part of this meal they also provide pickled cabbages and mushroom. I went for the chilly chicken option and was not disappointed. It was packed with flavour and delicious. The only thing missing was that the spice level was medium and I was hoping it to be spicier. But they provide you with chilli sauce and chilli powder to spice it up to your liking.
Perhaps ( my understanding through some other reviews I read on Zomato) the food is not authentic and mainly adapted to the western palate, I would still go back there for a meal. I would say the meal was an interesting one.
I’m attempting to eat around the world without leaving London and this week I had Korean food at Bibimbap. Bibimbap is small chain of three restaurants that are scattered across the capital; two in the Soho area and one in the City. We went to the one in Soho which is spread out across two floors. It’s a very casual restaurant with a food bar upstairs and a larger seating area in the basement.
Delicious food served in piping hot bowls. The variates of flavour from the affordable dishes encourage you to take your time and appreciate every bite.
I recommend the iced lemon tea which is refreshing in these summer months.
Awesome staff who are more than happy to help and will chase You down the street if you Leave anything behind, as I did.
Cute Korean restaurant in Soho – great food, decent portions and
friendly service. All dishes are served in a hot stone bowl so they remain hot
(which is good for slow eaters like me!). 3 of us went and we had the tofu, pork
and beef - all about £7 each. You can add an egg on to the top as well! We also
had the pork and vegetable dumplings which were delicious! would recommend.
Could do with some free traditional side dishes like most Korean restaurants provide, but their Dolsot Bibimbap never disappoints. Highly recommend trying it with their nutty brown rice - yum!
Cute, quaint, clean.. Good food, reasonable prices, healthy options, charming and clean atmosphere with walls plastered in polaroids.
Mind the bowl... It's bloody hot. Well this was a fun meal out. Quick, simple and tasty. Rice, combined with a variety of fresh veg and meat - depending on the variation of the dish you chose - with an optional fried egg on top.
Bibimbap is, according to the menu, a dish which was served in the royal court. A piping hot stone bowl into which the ingredients are arranged. As you mix it all up, the stone bowl cooks through the dish. But be sure to keep mixing as it doesn't stop cooking until you've finished the lot.
The menu has other choices but why would you come here if you weren't going to try the signature dish.
An inexpensive, quick and satisfying meal. Perfect way to start a night out in town.
First time in my life I tried Korean food, this place isn't a famous restaurant but it's enough to have a nice food experience and discover new savours. I ordered Bi bim bap soya tofu with mixed vegetables and extra eggs on top which was delicious hot but also cold.
Bibimbap is a Korean rice dish, served in a hot stone bowl and usually consisting of julienned vegetables, meat and a raw egg. It’s all mixed together with Korean hot sauce (gochujang) and the heat of the bowl cooks the raw ingredients, as well as leaving the rice at the bottom deliciously crispy...
There were also some chives mandoo (£4.45) shared – fried chive and vegetable dumplings – which were perfectly good.
Don't expect character, or any kind of real dining experience, but if your hungry and in a hurry, Bi Bim Bap isn't as silly a choice as it is a name for a restaurant. Just make sure you order more than you think you should, and don't touch the bowl, because my finger is still blistered.
Try it at least once to get a look at the kitschy polaroids adorning the walls, and to eat out of the sizzling stone bowls. Oh, and the miso sauce they leave on every table is TO DIE FOR. I haven’t found another place which so liberally lets you at this fantastic stuff.

I seem to favour this place for its relaxed chill out environment, it feels very home like and I love the idea of having poloriads of the customers all over the walls. I had this craving for Bibimbap, jap chae and Kimchi pancakes a few weeks back.
Eating out of a hot stove really makes anyone sweat, Beef Bool-Go-Gi is my absolute favourite marinated in pear sauce with thin slices of beef and an array of colourful mix vegetables. The fun part and way to eat a Bibimbap is to mix all the ingredients together along with the fermented soya paste and chilli sauce for flavouring
My favourite bibimbap - yukwhe (raw fillet beef) which was nice but not a patch on the original I had in Korea...
All served in a hot and heavy stone bowl. My beef bibimbap (£9.45) was a spectacle. An almighty bowl of food. Good balance between the fluffy rice and the delectable toppings. Usually go for an extra of raw egg.
Bibimbap is not only the famous Korean national dish, but also the name of a small Korean eatery in the midst of Soho. It is one of the places that, once discovered, you will keep coming back to for your quick, cheap, tasty and filling Korean fix. Unsurprisingly, Bibimbap specialises in bibimbap . Hot rice served in a sizzling stone bowl topped with your ingredients of choice, such as vegetables, strips of beef and egg (fried or raw). The ingredients are then stirred together (bibimbap translates as "mixed rice") into a delicious one dish meal. Pure comfort food. Korean Wine @BiBimBap We tried the Beef Bulgogi Bi Bim Bap . Bulgogi is a certain way to prepare meat by marinating it in a soy based sauce and then grilling of pan-frying it. I loved this dish and couldn't stop before I had picked up the very last rice grain with my chopsticks, even though I was full to burst. Beautifully flavoured beef, crunchy vegetables heated by the sizz
Bi Bim Bap is a bright, colourful and fun Korean restaurant in Soho that specialises in, as the name suggests Bi Bim Bap. Bi Bim Bap (mixed rice), according to Wikipedia is the national dish of Korea. As all great dishes of the world, it is a simple plate of food. Basically it’s a bowl of rice topped with vegetables, meat and a red chilli paste and curiously either a raw or fried egg are added on top to finish it off.

Bibimbap means mixed rice in Korean. It is a bowl of warm white rice often served with vegetables, sliced meat and a raw or fried egg. It is also the name of a relatively new Korean restaurant in Charlotte St (with another branch in Soho) that specialises in... bibimbap, surprise surprise.
We ordered kimchi pancake and vegetable dumplings to start. I loved both; they tasted fresh and neither were greasy or stodgy. Both came with simple yet effective variations on soy sauce.
We then all had bibimbap(s?); I had chilli chicken, two of my friends had beef bool-go-gi (specially marinated beef strips) and one had fillet beef (strips of raw seasoned beef fillet that cooks once mixed in the stone bowl). The last is clearly the most adventurous as she also had a raw egg whilst the rest of us opted for fried. I really enjoyed my bibimbap, as did my friends. It was extremely tasty and the perfect level of spicy for me. The one recommendation I would make is to use more vegetables or chicken and less rice and I was full up very quickly.
We were also provided with two sauces; chilli and miso. Interestingly, the miso sauce came in a yellow mustard dispenser and the chilli sauce in a red ketchup dispenser. Whilst both sauces were great additions to the dishes, their packaging was quite confusing since I, like many, expect to get ketchup out of a red plastic dispenser and mustard out a yellow one. Whilst it didn't diminish the enjoyment derived from the food, perhaps they could invest in some alternative packaging.
Another little shocker; no desserts! Not even a mini Korean chocolate pancake to satisfy those with a sweet tooth.
We indulged in a bottle of wine between the four of us (after stressful days at work) - this set us back £22.50; had we stuck with water the meal would have been just over £10 which is great value given that we all left feeling full. Also if you are in a rush, this is the place to go as service was great and our food came extremely quickly. There is also a refreshingly casual atmosphere.
In conclusion, there are a few improvements Bibimbap could make, but I would definitely recommend it for a simple, cheap, quick and filling restaurant.

Want a cheap, quick and delicious Korean bite to eat in Central? Head yourself to one of two Central London ‘Bibimbap’ restaurants. Greek Street in Soho and Charlotte Street, parallel to Goodge Street. My lady friend and I visited the Soho alternative. I found the restaurant through browsing the ‘Time Out’s Top 100 must east London Restaurants’. The list, broken into four sections: ‘Affordable, Mid-range, Expensive and Blow Out’ offered a hotchpotch of restaurants for the poor, rich and super rich. I browsed through each restaurant in ‘affordable’ to find the ultimate choice and decided on this popular and vibrant looking spot. Reviews consistently praised Bimbimbap and the menu ticked the boxes.
Korean food is hot right now in London; South Korean that is. Restaurants are popping up left, right and centre and people are really digging it. Healthy, fresh and full of tantalising flavours. If you are a Korean virgin – get involved in the current food climate and entertain your palate. Bimbimbap was my second Korean meal, the first being Gogi in Little Venice. On both separate occasions the super smiley staff were a perfect collaboration with the food. Smiley and genuine service can make or break a restaurant. A recent Sunday Roast in Stoke Newington was a disaster in terms of rock hard broccoli and roasties that had been warmed up in an igloo. However, the manager turned the situation around so much so that I would return offering the venue a second chance.
With conversation in full flow, the 20-minute queue mattered little. I recommend heading there as early as possible in the evening as it has become a hot spot for quick and cheap dinning. Bimbimbap is Korea’s national dish. A rice based dish served in a sizzling hot stone bowl with vegetables, spices, pastes and often beef or seafood and a raw egg. The idea is that apart from the rice, the ingredients are raw and are cooked by the eater at the table. Creating an outstanding fusion rather than a potential scrambled commotion.
At the approval of our server, I ordered a medley of dishes. Pork and Vegetable Mandoo to start, (dumplings) delicately cooked (£4.45). Not the ‘gloopy top-of-the-mouth’ sticking dumplings often received in oriental restaurants. For main, we shared mixed-seafood Bimbimbap – with the raw egg and raw fish (£8.95) and Chicken Ramen – chicken in a spicy noodle soup (£6.45). I recommend choosing the Bimbimbap. It was a delight to eat. I frantically stirred in the ingredients before the sizzling ceased, devoured and had no complaints.
For two people and a couple of beers thrown in, the bill came to £30. My dinner was true value for money. The experience was faultless, the food was quality and the price was minimal. Check it out, you won’t look back in anger.
Having never tried Korean food before, I was a bit apprehensive about it but I throughly enjoyed it.
The food was amazing! Full of delicious different flavours. I loved the fact the food was served in a hot stone bowl, that kept your food warm even when you got to the bottom.
The staff were very friendly and the service was great. I also liked the fact that you could get a raw or cooked egg on top of your meal and some dishes the raw meet cooks itself in the hot stone bowl.
I will definitely be returning!
Having only tried Korean food once before, I was really keen on trying Bibimbap and I was very happy with it! They have a large selection of Bibimbap meat and vegetarian dishes, to which you can add a fried or raw egg. I had the Beef bibimbap, which was very nice and satisfying! The quantities are very generous and the prices very reasonable! Service was quick, and the waiters were welcoming, and happy to recommend the most popular dishes on the menu for people like me who are still somewhat unfamiliar with the cuisine. We also tried the Chive dumplings, which I think I even preferred to my actual bibimbap dish.
Its worth every penny you spend! The service is really good. The spicy pork is a must try!!The portions are good and its really filling for the price you pay!
I think this is a great restaurant to take someone who is trying Korean perhaps for the first time? Although I think it is also great for someone who loves Korean food.
I think their decoration was very cute.
Plus they have more Kpop stars posters downstairs!
The service was really friendly (sooo friendly).
I ordered the vegetarian Bibimbap and tbh I don't alway like vegetables, but this time I did.
Price was very reasonable.
Only thing was that the food was way too hot at the start and me & my friend wanted to not burn ourself trying to eat it for a while or this would get 5 stars :)
Speaking as a bonafide half-Korean, this is my go-to place for introducing my woefully uninitiated friends to the spicy, sizzling joy that is bibimbap. The spicy pork version is the standout for me because they just seem to have nailed it texture-wise (always tender, never chewy) - but the chicken and beef bulgogi versions are also very respectable. One piece of advice: don't skimp on the sauces! The gochujang (chili sauce) is really key here. If I have one gripe, it's that the vegetables are occasionally just a tad too wet and prevent the rice from getting crispy in the stone bowl, but at the end of the day I always walk away from here full of K-town pride (and also kimchi.)

Bi Bim Bap is a very popular little restaurant tucked away on Soho’s Greek Street. Specialising in healthy, fresh and affordable dishes Bi Bim Bap doesn’t aim to be swanky, instead the décor is bright yet simple, with tons Polaroid snaps of happy diners covering the majority of the wall space.
Drawing in a constant flow of the young, hip crowd, this restaurant is perfectly suited to a quick meal rather than a three course occasion.
Would I Want Seconds?
Bi Bim Bap’s speciality are stone-bowl rice dishes of the same name, which typically consist of cooked rice mixed with oriental vegetables and topped with raw meats if requested. Bi Bim Bap serve these in ten different varieties within which the main ingredient varies from chilli chicken, spicy pork or seafood. There is also a extensive choice for vegetarians including mushrooms, tofu, brown rice and even ginseng and gingko.
The main courses are served up in large piping hot stone bowl which actual sizzle the whole way through the meal. Each stone-bowl offers an extremely large serving, which present a feast to eyes with its vibrant colours from the many vegetables. Be sure to add the impressive miso and chilli sauces to your dish as these add an additional depth to the flavour.
There is also a good number of starters on offer including Kimchi Pancake and Chives Mandoo which are also definitely worth a try.
Could I Afford Seconds?
Yes, although you wouldn’t need to order any judging by the size of the main courses. Bi Bim Bap’s aim is to be affordable with the main course costing between £6.95 and £8.45 depending on the choice of ingredients.
Starters range from £4.45 to £5.25. There is also a good range of drinks to choose from at reasonable prices, including Korean beers.
Overall:
The main attraction with Bi Bam Bap is the authentic, affordable and delicious Korean food. Compared to many of the swankier Korean restaurants in London, the food here is definitely better and tastier.
This restaurant is already very popular with queues forming out the door even before it opens and deservedly so.
Looking for a quick, cheap meal in Soho? This is the place, I'm no expert on bibimbap (a traditional Korean dish) as I've only had it here but it was delicious. Basically you get a very hot stone bowl filled with rice, pickled veg & your choice of protein. They crack a raw egg on top which as you mix the bowl cooks in the hot bowl and then add sauces to flavour as desired. Delicious, healthy, cheap & fun!
Definitely give this place a try if you’re looking for speedy service and filling food at a good price!
They have meat options, vegetarian and vegan options. Everyone is welcome!
The staff are super nice and the service is very quick. I was surprised at how soon our food came out after ordering.
Furthermore, the Korean beer is delicious and came in super cute glasses. I would also recommend the Korean fried chicken which was delicious and the kimchi mayo which the waitress suggested.
We will be back for sure!
So glad we came across this gem in Soho. The number of reviews and ratings this place has really shows how well they are doing. The food was amazing, all served together and everything was fresh. We would recommend the kimchi pancakes, seafood soup and their most traditional dish! Highly recommended
Bibimbap is the place for authentic Korean food. We went to this restaurant with Indranil's cousin's brothers recommended this place. The restaurant was cosy our food was delicious. The restaurant is well-organised our food was served on time. We ordered prawn katsu was tasty then seafood noodles, Korean fried chicken&lastly chicken bibimbap was tasty with lots of vegetables &egg. We had Korean beer was very good. It’s a must-visit for people loving Korean food❤️
Authentic Korean cuisine served at Bibimbap with utmost care.
The Bibimbap, Korean Fried Chicken, Prawn Katsu and Seafood Noodles were all lit up with the Gochujang Sauce.
Perfectly nestled in Soho, a must visit.
Very good food. Fresh, a lot of veggies in the bibimbap, super hot stone Bowl - so your food will stay warm for a long time. Super friendly service. Affordable prices.
This one came recommended by someone. What a lovely place to be, I went with my friend for dinner. I had the kimchi pancake and prawns, both amazing! He had beef he really enjoyed. Fast service, nice music, kind staff. 🫶🏼
This is my go to Koren food place. And the best Hot Stone food I've found in london
When I'm London I always go here. The food is always excellent and very good value for money.
Great. A small stable just right in SoHo, serving excellent Bimbimbap — I ordered mine with brown rice (optional) and a fried egg on top. The taste was lovely, just as you’d expect it from Korean food. Same goes for the kimchi pancake, which is always a great starter. Not as spicy as advertised on their menu but then they’ll hand you some spices to pop it up. Service was great, would come there any time again!
Bibimbap was great visually and also in texture. I’ve had better spicy rick cakes, however. It was not worth the price.
Best bibimbap in London! Always a reliable yummy meal. The pork and kimchi soup, kimchi pancake and any of the bibimbap choices are excellent. Friendly and kind staff. The root tea is also yummy. Reasonable price for soho and great location for shopping or theatre afterwards. You can walk right in reservation not needed.
Price increases of recent but still very good value for the area. Best dish raw steak with raw egg Bibbimbap.
Cooks In the really hot bowl it is served in.
Lovely waiting stuff, really accommodating. The food was on our tables in a good amount of time and was very delicious! Would come again next time I'm in London
Nice, modern and cozy place where you can try delicious bibimbap prepared in a dolsot style hot stone, just like the ones in Korea.
Although the flavors and experience of mixing ingredients on your own is here, there is few things to improve:
1. Missing “on the house” side dishes (banchan) like in Korea, at least one or two would be nice.
2. Rice seems to be a different kind than the one is used in Korea, or it was overcooked.
3. I personally wouldn’t put cabbage in bibimbap.
4. Kimchi stew portion is super small which is okay if the price followed, but it was missing broth and tanginess of it.
Friendly and welcoming staff, comfortable seating and nice ambience with K-Pop in background speakers.
Will come back eventually.
Food was absolutely delicious! We enjoyed every dish! Staff were friendly and conversational.
Modern and trendy restaurant. 2 levels, one on ground level and the other downstairs.
Upon entry you're greeted by a friendly member of staff and seated.
We asked what would be best to try (other than the well known K-movie items). We were pleasantly surprised by the 김치 mayo and the peach flavoured 소주.
I was even able to practice my Korean, which was nice.
The side dishes we chose were more than adequate, but we had the chicken teriyaki and beef as well. So worth the money and it doesn't break the bank for tasty food!
Will definitely be back.
Now that I've had such good food, the places I went before no longer seem adequate! It's a shame they're in London, not up North...
Looking forward to our next visit.
These folks out the bib into biblical. Fresh, delicious food in a hot stone bowl, and prices that should be far higher for central London. Bibimbap Soho is a must visit for anyone.
As someone who has spent 4 months in Seoul, I missed a good bibimbap, but this place didn’t disappoint!
The portion was huge, but also more expensive than the prices on their website— a pork bibimbap just over £16
I have the tofu with brown rice. It was delicious. Served on a hot plate. The portion size is good, very filing.

This place had delicious food and I can't wait to come again! After a bad first experience if Korean food I was really hoping that this food would excite my taste buds and it did! Everything tasted fresh and had great flavour to it, even the tea!
I got Special Soy KFC (Korean Fried Chicken), Kimchi Pancake and Beef Bulgogi Bibimbap. The dishes also came with a Miso Sauce and Chilli Sauce.
I will start with the KFC. It was very nice, it didn't really look like the Korean Fried Chicken that I had seen on the internet as it didn't come on the bone, it was just like chicken nuggets. Despite this I still really enjoyed it and they had a very nice 'sauce covering' so, to my surprise, the sauce was covered in each individual chicken piece and bit just on the top. The sauce wasn't too salty or sweet, it had a nice balance.
The Kimchi Pancake wasn't my favourite, I found it a bit too sour but my mum really like it. She said "It had a nice texture filled with flavour. It was a perfect accompaniment to the bulgogi too." It has nice crunchy bits of cabbage in it which I think added to the texture.
Finally the Beef Bulgogi Bibimbap and the sauces. The Bibimbap was really tasty and came with around 5 different vegetables and a hit stone bowl. The rice was cooked beautifully and the beef was delicious. The vegetables tasted fresh and it was an altogether amazing dish. The sauces were some if the best sauces I have ever had. The chili sauce had a beautiful kick to it. It was just spicy enough that it hits you in the back of the thought but not so spicy that it burns your tongue off. For me though, I preferred the Miso Sauce. If you are a miso soup lover like me then you will love this sauce. It had a great salty miso flavour and I found that the even the sauces mixed together taste really nice!
Overall I would definitely come again and would recommend for anyone. There is a great variety of food and there is something for everyone.
