    Absolutely incredible food and wonderful service. Highly recommend, booking is essential, only get 1.5 hours for a table as they're so busy but that's long enough. Top tip, get the seafood pancakes and the sweet chilli chicken, you won't regret it !

    Sehr leckeres koreanisches Essen, vegetarische Optionen. Wir waren ohne Reservierung da. Kommt man in das Restaurant sieht es zunächst sehr klein aus und wir dachten, es wäre alles voll - fragt aber unbedingt trotzdem nach, denn es gibt noch eine obere Etage, die von außen über ein Treppenhaus zu erreichen ist. Das Essen war sehr gut und authentisch, wir würden wiederkommen

    Revisited here again with my family last week! Fresh and delicious selection of dishes, all incredibly seasoned and delicious but their Korean fried chicken was to die for. *drools . Amazing food, quick and friendly service as always. Highly recommend :)

    Presentation: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Taste: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just when I thought the taste of their food couldn't be better, they managed to surprise me with an even better taste of authentic Korean food. Their sweet chilli fried chicken is a MUST, it had the right amount of pretty much everything.

    overall: one of my go-to in london. they mastered balancing spiciness with other flavours, the correct spice should actually give you an addicting tingles or kicks. great place for groups as most dishes are sharing portion size. tip ❗️: restaurant is separated into 2 parts: main dining & pocha upstairs. menu is slightly different (i think?), but the vibe upstairs is louder & for drinking (tho drinks prices are no jokes). kimchi jeon 🥞: not the crispest i’ve had, but still a good crusty edge. but i love the unique spicy kick that comes after, which is normally lacking in other restaurants sea snails noodles 🐚: noodles are very thin. noodle texture is quite soft, but the crunchy veggies & super chewy sea snails makes up for it. love combination of the spicy sour sauce with the sweet fresh pears. yang-yeom chicken 🍗: just the correct balance of sweet & spicy. you know it’s perfectly deep-fried when the batter is still crunchy after being coated by a layer of sticky sauce.

    FOOD poison !!! BE VERY CAREFUL! We went to this famous restaurant, ordered famous chicken feet, however it tastes wrong, strong fishy smell. But I told my friend this restaurant is very popular so they won’t have not fresh food so we still ate half dish. But we both vomited and went to toilet many times after eating it. So be careful on which dish you’d like to go for! £100 for Food poison 🥹🥹🥹🥹

    Service was very slow but food was decent. Have had better korean food at lower price points. Overall a decent place but not sure I would visit again. The seafood stew was overly spicy - so much so that you couldn’t taste the food or enjoy it

    Went for dinner with Han Kang - was able to book table before visit and it can get busy during weekends hence recommend book before visit. Food is overall good, some dishes are better than the others for example we found the Japchae is nicely done but the very basic korean dish - fried chicken is not so much (chicken is not very well marinated and inside was still slightly raw for larger pieces). Price wise okay not too expensive and server is good and fast.

    I go to Han Kang for one specific dish and that is their fried chicken. Probably be best Korean fried chicken I’ve had in London, always fresh and flavorful. Don’t forget to make a reservation, this place just has a few tables and is always busy. My friends and I made this mistake and almost went away crying, but the helpful staff ran after us and offered us a table that just opened up! Also, I recommend going in a group of three or four and sharing a few dishes.

    Food = 5/5. Taste very good and authentic. Big portion servings. Service = 3/5 Cleanliness = 4/5 Vibes = 2/5. Very small place. Quite dark. K Pop music too loud. Price = quite steep

    Mixed feelings about this place/ 불친절하고 거의 무례함에 가까운 직원 Restaurant: When I went yesterday with my dad, we were waited on by the most unfriendly waitress I've come across in a long time! Any request, i.e. something simple by a request for some rice or an extra dish and spoon was met with utter reluctance and almost a sense of being judged for asking. 아주 불친절한 인도계 여직원있었는데 그 분 우리 대우한 방식 때문에 많이 불편함. Pocha (visited in Jan): Delicious food, quick service and decent sized portions. Had jjambbong, dakgangjeong and stir fried udon between 3 hungry people and we left totally satisfied! The interior is really Korean, feels like a restaurant young people/ people after work would go to in central Seoul :)

    Fried chicken 🌟🌟🌟 Definitely recommended especially with the huge portion was worth to share Sam gye tang 🌟🌟🌟 Not much comment but comfort food for sure during the cold weather and it taste kinda authentic. Bibimbap was not bad and there’s vegetarian option available which is great! Kimchi pancake is quite average, not really necessary to order. The service of the waiter was a bit pushy and we were feeling like being rushed in order to finish our food. That’s probably due to his tone but we weren’t really happy and comfortable about it to dine in.

    Nice restaurant, friendly and helpful staff. Shame we were sat upstairs so we didn't get the full experience of cooking the food on the tables. The food was quite overpriced, a dish of beef and dish of chicken were £20 each and they were pretty small, we weren't able to order noodles on the side for anything less than £15 so we got a bowl of rice instead for £3.50 to bulk it up. 13% service charge on the bill too, so total bill was £75 which was quite steep considering we only got 1x beer and 1x coke! Would return if we could have the experience of cooking food on the tables but wouldn't rush back if not

    Food was good- we shared 4 dishes for 3 people. Took the recommendations of the hostess and was not disappointed. Service was very prompt. Really enjoyed the small private atmosphere.

    This would be the worst Korean restaurant I had been. First the lady waiter is very pushing, kept recommended me to order more. She told me the soup is of a very small size. So I ordered two soup ( one is even with rice ) and 3 other dishes ( which she also described of only a small size ). Then when the rice cake served, I realized it was not a small size as she mentioned, her attitude became very rude. She continued to scold me as I was the one who made the order. When I told her I asked her twice whether it was too much, she kept emphasized all dishes are of small size, her attitude became even worse. Anyway, she finally cancelled two dishes. I am so glad that she did it. As the taste of the food is so terrible that I could not even finished half of the soup. I could not imagine a tofu soup I requested was full of egg. The soup was very salty and seems salt is the only thing I tasted. I started to miss the coffee shop of St Giles hotel. With half the price of the soup here, I could have a much much more delicious mussels soup ( with white wine ). Be a smart consumer. Stay away from restaurant being so expensive with terrible taste.

    The Korean fried chicken here is great. I haven’t found anywhere that is as good as this. The other dishes were really good too and also something that I haven’t found anywhere else.

    Banchan tasted crunchy and well-marinated! Seafood pancake was crispy outside and tasted amazing as well.

    I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding dining experience I recently had at Han Kang London. From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism by the staff. The service throughout the evening was impeccable, and the team's attention to detail truly enhanced the overall atmosphere. The servers were attentive, courteous, and went above and beyond to make our dining experience memorable. The food at Han Kang was nothing short of extraordinary. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, showcasing the chef's skill and dedication to delivering exquisite flavors. The menu offered a delightful array of options, and every dish we tried was a delightful journey for the taste buds. I must commend the manager for creating a welcoming and enjoyable environment. Their presence was felt throughout the evening, ensuring that every guest felt valued and attended to. It's clear that the management team at Han Kang is committed to providing top-notch service. The wine list at Han Kang deserves a special mention. It featured a curated selection that complemented the menu perfectly. The sommelier's recommendations added an extra layer of sophistication to our dining experience, enhancing the flavors of each dish. Overall, my visit to Han Kang London was an absolute delight. The combination of exceptional service, delectable cuisine, and a warm ambiance has left a lasting impression. I would like to extend my gratitude to the entire team for their dedication to creating a memorable dining experience.

    Gamjatang, KFC and seafood pancakes were all good... BUT we did get kicked out 😞 GAMJATANG came late and after eating gamjatang 15min they asked us to pay and leave as the next reservation will be taking place.... They did offer takeaway box but that is also paid.... They shouldve told us to not order gamjatang in advance then... Anyway Will not be back here.... SEOULTOKYO have better foods and they don't kick you out...

    I really enjoyed the food there. Theres a limited amount of veg/an options but the options they have are good and taste amazing too. It was busy the day we went and hadnt booked a table but managed to get one. Friend chicken, soondubu jiggae(soft tofu stew) and kimchijeon were delicious.

    Food was excellent, especially the spicy octopus!! Best one I've ever tried. The staff was really friendly and offered us new plates once it got dirty. The space was cozy as we were seated in private dining area. Highly recommended!!

    Don’t come!!! Very pooooor food!!! Not eatable at all!!! Don’t be cheated by their “reputation”, really doubt they paid for social media ads. I was very hungry and waited half an hour to get our food. This is what they served. I tried very hard to find something eatable but literally can’t find anything. Too bad to even eat anything. The famous cold noodles is served just like that, don’t have any respect to food. The pot is served with rubbish. In the end I had to leave the restaurant to find something else to eat. Also, the restaurant is located in a dirty smelly street. The environment is noisy and dark. The menu they gave was dirty and used. Don’t come.
