Nice little speakeasy bar, plenty of Korean classic street food. They have chosen their cocktails carefully with some imported and made themselves, think it was the rice wine. Very cute just high chairs and narrow but packs a personality
The food was really good, especially the Korean fried chicken and tteok ko chi. The cocktails were also very well thought out. However, some dishes such as the Japchae and the Jeon (special item of the week) were a bit disappointing given their prices. The beef in the japchae was very rough and barely chewable. Everything else was delicious. Excellent experience overall.

An amazing find for Korean food and drinks. The service here was just wonderful and the staff really put their heart and soul in bringing South Korean cuisine and culture to you.
The wide selection of cocktails and drinks is quite impressive. The makgeolli was delicious, particularly the Chestnut flavour which we simply had to take away to enjoy at home. The Happy Pig was a nice cocktail shared between two of us.
For the tapas, we ordered the king prawn fries, kimchi pancake, Korean fried chicken in yang-nyum sauce and the cheese+chicken buldak - all of which were tasty in their own way!
Tip - if you think you can handle spice, the Cheese and Chicken Buldak will certainly humble you. As spice lovers, we initially wanted to order Level 6, however we reduced to Level 4 after being cautioned by our waiter (we are forever grateful). The spice creeps on you after the first bite. I absolutely loved that a spicy dish finally lived up to its name, as this can be a rarity. I will definitely order this again!
I celebrated my birthday here on Friday and it was really special. It is on the pricier side but it is well worth it. Additional plus points for the cleanliness of the restaurant. Sitting at the bar is also nice as the waiters are very social.
Great little bar, serving specialty Korean cocktails. Intimate setting was great for a date and staff were all very friendly. Reasonably priced for the quality, nothing too different from other bars in London. Would come here again.

Love the fancy and creative cocktail menu with Korean alcohol based. I tried Miracle of Han river and Andong sour. My friends had London night, Matcha garden, and more cocktail that I couldn’t remember. All cocktails we tried were nice. The Korean foods were okay but portion size was small. The time slot for Friday evening is limited. We booked at 19:00 and were able to sit until 20:20. This is understandable as it was Friday.
The staffs were attentive; however, I wish you were a bit less attentive. One staff suggested the Korean alcohol by using my phone to follow his instagram page. On top of that, the staffs kept telling us that everyone needs to order 1 drink, but they informed this sentence every single time that 1 of our friends arrived. I understand that it is a business so you need to up-sell and it’s the staffs responsibility to inform your rule, but it just made us feel like we looked like poor customers that seemed not to have money to order things. When we arrived, we immediately looked at the menu as we always want to order asap. We are not type of customers that arrive and keep chatting without looking at the menu or order nothing. Btw, I gave 4 stars as I understand that you work hard, just in the way that is not very correct. So, I wish you improved this.
I’ve visited quite many bars in London since I love drinking, and with a full confidence, I can say that this bar serves the best cocktails - especially the classic ones. Old fashioned, Manhattan, Martini… you name it, the boss TK will surprise you. It now became my habit to visit here to set the ‘standard’ before I visit any other bars and try classic cocktails - no wonder the boss TK has 14 years of experience of working as a bartender.
Of course the signature cocktails here are outstanding and unique, I bet you won’t be able to taste any rice-flavoured drink or home-brewed makgeolli (Korean rice wine) cocktails at any other bars in London. If my review made you curious, do visit here!
Last but not least, I have to mention the foods. As a Korean, this place has the best Korean Fried Chicken among all the Korean restaurants I’ve visited here so far, and the kimchi pancake here is also a must-try (which pairs perfectly with the home-brewed makgeolli as well)!
What a fantastic place. The staff are wonderful. If you have ever been to South Korea you will know about Jeju Pale Ale, wow, I cannot believe they have it! Cocktails are fun and the food is pretty good. A great evening.

Visited this tapas bar last night after several recommendations from friends. I was very pleasantly surprised by the cocktails - so delicious and well prepared. I ordered the 'Miracle of Han River' which is their signature cocktail and it did not disappoint! The cocktail mixologist was good fun and seems to know his stuff! Apparently, the idea for this cocktail was 'conceived' during his travels in Beijing, China - hence, Han River. The cocktails were served, complete with all the theatrics and it was good fun! We sat at the bar, and got to see a lot of other cocktails being made including the Danji (scorched rice drink). Note that this place is a cocktail bar so everyone needs to order a drink but they do not offer soft drinks, only mocktails (for the same price). They also serve little bites and we tried the Buldak Cheese chicken (okay, but not my favorite as I prefer it to be breaded and fried), and the Kimchi Seafood Pancake (was nice and crispy). Prices were slightly on the high side, which is okay for cocktails as they were delicious but could be a little lower on the tapas/food. I also loved the chilled, relaxed environment of the restaurant. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would come back again to try different cocktails.
Make a reservation and thank me later. The cocktails are 10/10 and the food is so delicious. It’s a small place but gives you everything you’re looking for: fun atmosphere, cool decor, fantastic drinks and the tastiest food. You won’t regret it!
Nice bar food (personally, highly recommended chargrilled pork bbq). Cocktails are amazing. But you must try the home-brewed Makgeolli!
Wonderful place! We visit every couple months and always bring new people because we love coming here with friends and sharing the experience. I am yet to have a dish/drink that didn’t wow me (:
We stopped by for dinner and had such a great time! The staff are next leave, and so are the food and drinks—the cheese buldak has six different levels of spicy, and wonderfully enough, when they say spicy, them mean spicy. I imagine most people would be happy at leave 3 or 4. The Mr. Kim of Black Russian was also an amazing drink—really smooth and with a great coffee taste. The only thing we didn't really care for was the Tteok-Ko-Chi—it felt too sweet to be dinner, but not sweet enough for dessert. Overall, it's a must visit, and worth every penny!
Our friend took us here for the Makgeolli brewed in-house - we tried the original, peach, and rhubarb; they were all excellent, but I slightly preferred the original.
In addition to Makgeolli, we ordered the fried chicken, rice cake, seafood pancake, and octopus salad. So far, this place has one of the best fried chicken we have had in London. The other tapas were super tasty as well.
The only complaint I would have is that the bar stools are quite uncomfortable. The space is quite small so you'd definitely need a reservation if you come here. We will likely be back to this place, and I'd definitely recommend trying it out.
The cocktails all look amazing, and there was a lot of care put into making each drink. We sat in front of the bar, so we got to see the artist at work!
Great cocktails and small sharing plates for dinner. Overall very good concept and va cool place
One of the best restaurant/bar/cocktail experiences I’ve ever had in my life.
Went there for a birthday celebration after seeing the bar on a YouTube channel. Had super high expectations but got blown away anyways, the drinks were one of a kind with unique flavours and great showmanship. When both the owner or the waiter talked about their drinks and food you knew that they cared about it. Food was authentic and delicious and paired very well with the drinks, on a 4 day trip to London we stopped by twice because it was amazing and bought a bunch of stuff gone aswell. Will be going to London from Sweden again to eat and drink here, special props to the owner for the great service and to woonie for amazing service and hospitality aswell!
Visited for my birthday after seeing the bar on a Topjaw video and was not dissapointed, cocktails were some of the best ive had, great food and the service was spot on
Had an amazing time with a great vibe. Awesome drinks and the most amazing food. Special thanks to the barman Chang Lee for the great service and stories about the different drinks. Definitely recommend this place!
Really good cocktails and nice food. Recommend 🍹Danji to non-strong alcohol lovers. KFC was crispy and juicy.
I find the drinks refreshing and venue intimate. The owner of this place makes creative Korean infused cocktails and the manager is caring.
