I went twice in a few days when I was visiting London on my own.
They had me seated both times right away and made sure I had what I needed.
The food came really quick and was amazing. I especially loved the cheesy Tteobokki!
we slightly over ordered as we anticipated the portions would be a lot smaller for the price, especially compared to other korean places in london. the budae jigae was only £10 !!
the seafood pancake, budae jigae and bimimbap were delicious and we would definitely order again. the only thing that wasn’t too great was the fried chicken - personally i think there is much crisper and delicious korean fried chicken elsewhere (eg. daebak in vauxhaull)
however, for the price, these portions were very generous, and we left with leftovers for dinner too! the pancake is made fresh and not just cooked from frozen like some other places, the broth in the jigae was super flavourful and they are also generous with the ingredients inside! plenty of noodles and meat
overall i would definitely recommend visiting this place, be sure to also bring cash as it will get you 10% off your bill
Delicious Korean food. Great atmosphere. I seriously felt like I was having a Kdrama meal. Good service as well and medium range prices. I especially loved the toppoki with cheese. The pajeon was tasty too.
You must get their cheese tteokbokki! The sauce was literally addicting. The army stew was good as well( better than other korean spots I’ve tried). They do 10% discount if you pay in cash. :)
HALAL KOREAN FOOD
This place feels authentic, and the food has a fresh taste. Most importantly they have HALAL options.
The kimchi pancake and prawn dumplings were outstanding as starters. The Ddeokbokki (fish cake and rice cake dish) was too sweet for our preference, perhaps an acquired taste; we will pass on it next time.
The original Korean fried chicken pieces were tender and tasty, though not exceptionally distinctive. The Chicken Dolsot Bibimbap was good, but the raw egg yolk gave it a strong eggy smell. Despite my usual love for eggs, there was something off about this one. The dish needed a touch more salt and had too much sesame oil flavour. On the other hand, the halal Bulgogi (grilled beef dish) was my sister's favourite. The beef was well-cooked and packed with flavour!
The venue can be noisy due to its small size and loud music, but they turned it down upon our request.
I had a great time here, and I'd definitely recommend it.
It was my first time getting Korean bbq, the staff was extremely nice and helped us cook the meat. The ribeye steak was so incredibly soft. Great kimchi and even better prices.

Had a lunch bento offer which was ok, that did match my veg requests, the atmosphere is like an Asian rice and noodle bar which is fun but I wasn’t very impressed with the food . It felt like a nicely made up leftover. However I’ve seen ( and smell) around more interesting dishes so would give it another go
There were some highlights, which at its brightest would have to be the LA Galbi. Great marinade and the rib seemed of very good quality. The only other elements of the menu I would recommend would be the Banchan / Side dishes. All were clean and refreshing, especially the bean sprouts, spinach and cucumber kimchi.
The lows: The soggiest fried chicken I ever did bite into, which is pretty much the last thing you expect in a Korean restaurant. The kimchi pancake was far too spongy and oily, it was all flour no veg.
Mixed bag for me, but it's a shame Google doesn't offer half stars. It feels wrong giving 4 stars, but I would return solely for the BBQ element.
The food was decent. I loved the prawn dumplings and the cucumber kimchi. Definitely going back for those. The deep fried pork in sweet sauce was not that great. The Korean fried chicken’s sweet and chilli sauce was amazing but the chicken was not crispy. We didn’t try the Korean barbecue but it looked great!
The last delicious Korean 🌶 Spicy Oxtail Soup 🥣 I had was in Ottawa,Canada. Highly recommend this dish in this place. The oxtail meat is boiled to a tender texture and is such a flavourful and hearty dish especially in a cold weather. I can definitely not find this dish of this quality in Hong Kong 🇭🇰. I rate it 8.5 of 10. I’m here two days in a row for lunch. I’m only confused that paying in cash in cheaper than paying by card. I don’t have any cash as a tourist, and so I paid a bit of a higher price.
By far the best korean restaurant I have been to! Manager is very warm and kind hearted, servers are so attentive and lovely! I will always be a regular here from now on :)
The flavours here are spot on if you're looking for great tasting Korean dishes (real Korean taste for me and the best I've tried in London)! Absolutely loved every dish - all with delicious bold, deep and layered flavours. Came here with friends and everyone walked away with full stomachs and feeling satisfied. I highly recommend trying Jjambbong, fried chicken, spicy oxtail soup, cheese dakgalbi, and kimchi pancake, you won't be disappointed. Really good portion sizes and pretty decent prices for their quality of cooking and ingredients.
The staff and service were fantastic, super friendly and caring service and an all round seamless service. Would highly recommend. Less than 5min walk from Borough station.
Worth every penny!
Lovely food, we ordered way too much. Another case of eyes bigger than the belly. Beef dumplings and Takeyaki were a bit disappointing but the rest of the food was great. Would recommend
Unassuming place but very tasty, we overordered by far but enjoyed every bite. Booked a table with both grill and skewers
This place is my favourite Korean in town!! I like dining here, and today I tried LA kalbi doirak lunch box and it was a pleasant surprise! Beef was tender and juicy, did perfectly match with side dishes and the portion was generous. Will certainly go back to try some more!
If my friend asked me any recommendations for Korean food in London, I will definitely recommend Seoul tokyo!
Soft tofu Jjigae, seafood pancake, spicy chicken feet are the best🤍
Already came here around 10 times🥰
