Came here as a group of six people. We had made a reservation in advance.
We asked for some assistance to better understand the menu (portion sizes, how much food we should order for six people). The lady who served us wasn’t especially helpful and offered us no explanation. She was quite unwelcoming to the point that it made our group feel quite uncomfortable, which should never be the case when you go out to a restaurant to enjoy dinner.
Despite the cold and unhelpful service, I must say that I really enjoyed the food. We tried a range of dishes - the seafood noodles and the spicy prawns were especially nice.
This restaurant clearly has much to offer but the overall dining experience was let down by the service - a little bit of training for staff would go a long way, and I would have no hesitation in upping this to a 5 star review.
Had a good experience at Olle KBBQ. Most authentic Korean BBQ place that you can cook for yourself in London. Excellent food - delicious high quality cuts of meat, tender and very well seasoned. Great atmosphere- staff were very attentive and polite. Prices were reasonable for a central London location. Highly Recommend.
A great bbq dinner experience in the centre of London. We had wagyu rib eye, marinated pork belly, bulgogi, prawn tempura, and fried rice. All the meats were delicious, juicy, and melted in mouth. The tempura batter could have been a bit thinner, but overall, it was extraordinary.
If you are craving authentic Korean food, this is the place you should visit. We tried to get reservations beforehand but came to know on weekends they don’t take reservations, it’s first come first serve. When we reached, the queue was long but it didn’t take much time to get seated as they have downstairs seating as well.
Tbh the best Korean restaurant I’ve ever been to in the UK so far! Marinated Pork Belly, and Beef Bulgogi is my favourite. It tastes phenomenal. Korean Fried chicken with Sweet and spicy sauce also tastes very good. The food was delicious and the price was decent. Really enjoyed the food and my time here, great if you're looking for a Korean BBQ experience where you can cook your own stuff at the table.
Overall, it’s a 5-star restaurant. Definitely returning back for other offerings.
Lovely authentic Korean bbq restaurant, brought a variety of dishes and selection B on the bbq menu, the wagyu beef was amazing. All washed down with an array of Soju flavours. Great time and look forward to coming back :-)
Great food and service overall at Olle in Soho. We booked for lunch on a Sunday and sat downstairs. The dining room did get quite busy at one point then with the music became very loud which I guess should be expected with this type of restaurant.
Service was mostly great; friendly and efficient. I did get a bit of attitude when I asked for new chopsticks because the waiter had put one’s we were using for raw on top of the ones I was eating with but this not consistent with the service we had been getting from our waiter who had been fine.
Food was good with lots of choice on the menu for both bbq and non bbq items. Stand out bites were the A5 Wagyu ribeye and the japchae.
The waiters were very kind and attentive. They gave us personalised recommendations which were helpful in deciding what to order. Food arrived very promptly and tasted great. Definitely recommend this restaurant to others looking for authentic Korean barbecue in central London.
I recently dined at the renowned "Olle BBQ" restaurant, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality that set the tone for an incredible dining experience.
Let's start with the food. As a barbecue enthusiast, I have high standards when it comes succulent meats, and "Olle BBQ" did not disappoint.
"Olle BBQ" apart was the top-notch customer service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that I had an exceptional dining experience. The servers were friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, making sure that I had everything I needed throughout the meal. The manager even took the time to stop by my table to check on my satisfaction with the food and service, which truly made me feel like a valued guest.
“Olle BBQ" was a true barbecue lover's dream. The food was outstanding, the customer service was top-notch, and the ambiance was delightful. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional barbecue dining experience. I can't wait to return and indulge in their mouthwatering BBQ delights again!
Korean BBQ at the table. Different selections of meat and vegetables and option to share.
I enjoyed the sweet and sour chicken, a bit spicy. And my youngest enjoyed a delicious noodles soup.
Lovely staff. Decoration is a bit minmum and boring, but the food is really amazing!!
If you’re craving Korean bbq like we did. This spot did not disappoint! The marinated meats served with lettuce wraps was a perfect combo. The stew was bursting full of flavour. Would recommend!
Our first Korean BBQ experience for me and my partner! We loved it, the service and food were great! Bonus on the side is that my partners name is also Olle! We loved the look on the staff's faces when we told them 😁
By far, the best Korean bbq place I've been in London. Authentic Korean food, outstanding quality beef, and extremely friendly waiters. I would definitely recommend this place and would come back again.
I've been to a few Korean bbq places and can say this one definitely has stuck. So glad they were able to fit us in as I did not book prior.
The food was delicious. Everything was well seasoned and cooked well. We thoroughly enjoyed what we ordered. Will definitely be my go to when I'm craving Korean bbq. The japchae was top notch. The only small critique would be the salad/vege which you eat with the Korean bbq could have more of a variety rather than just lettuce, esp as it's £5.
I came here on a Friday night with a friend and we had a great experience. The food was all fresh and delicious and the staff were very friendly. We recommend the marinated pork belly, the chicken mando and the topokki (this was spicy by the way). And we also recommend sharing a bottle of their delicious Soju! Definitely make sure you book a table as it gets very busy.
Ordered the £75 set menu, the Korean fried chicken, the Naeng Myeon (cold noodles) and some steamed rice. We probably ordered one dish too many as we were so full by the end of it. The dishes were very good and the service was good too. However one of the waiters came over to cut the meat and place them onto the grill for us while we were still eating the noodles and chicken. This made us feel rushed as we didn't want our food over cooked especially our beef. We had to pause with our noodles and chicken to eat the bbq meat, however when that was finished, the same waiter came over to fill our whole grill again with all the meat available. I stopped him immediately and said we wanted to take our time eating and didn't want our food overcooked so he left us. He didn't do that to anyone else on the other tables and they were able to take their time eating, whereas we felt very rushed, which is why I've given this review 4 stars. The other waitresses were very pleasant.
Just walking in the food smells was mouthwatering! Upstairs was full, so we were lead downstairs and seated. The service was excellent. We had very friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable waitstaff who went above and beyond for us. The food and drinks were excellent and delicious. This was a once in a lifetime experience for us, and every moment was made special by the food, the drinks , and the staff. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!
We (our group of 5 girls) liked it!
Service was good, I was able to phone the restaurant and they accommodated our booking, no issues. Whilst it was very hot outside, they did have air con and added to this with some additional fans. All the food we tried was good and we over ordered. We had a bit of everything - 2 stews, large Korean Fried Chicken (not bad), pancakes, noodles, and BBQ. To us, this was a good value meal. I would come back again.
