    Dined in and ordered via app . Ordered 2 sets of Korean barbecue for 3 people. A bit too much , but the app said only u order two sets, then they let you use the bbq grill , otherwise kitchen would cook for you. Japchae was yum ! Complimentary appetisers provided. Good for group gathering. A girl staff was very nice and she kept changing the grill for us at the first sight of burnt grill. Very helpful! Staff all wear masks, felt very safe dining here Book in advance . Do get busy , even at 9 pm.

    Good food. I've had better Korean BBQ, but the rice and the pancake were very good + the meat was tasty. Great service. But you guys need to seriously work on your toilets, they looked like they were out of a horror movie and they were very dirty...

    Was suffering from holiday blues as we came back from South Korea, so we went to this Korean restaurant in London. This place is very busy, so make sure you reserve a table. We had one with the grill, so we cooked the meat. We ordered Pork and Chicken with various of side dishes. The food was very good and the staff were friendly. The food is ordered by the app (QR code) and it arrived pretty quick. Would definitely recommend this place if you love BBQ food!

    The beef bulgogi and the teokbokki were both 10/10. The restaurant had a nice vibe and the service was quick. My only complaint was that we were rushed to leave, even though it wasn’t that busy and we were still ordering drinks. But regardless, we had a good time. Will be back soon :) Toilets are not accessible FYI.

    The food was really nice, in my opinion, it tasted quite authentic and similar to the taste where I can get from Taiwan. I absolutely love Korean food, especially the spicy part! Went there with friends who are also super into Korean food and it was lovely! We all enjoyed our food, the price is quite alright, not too expensive but affordable. They also have bbq service which I think the ventilation needs some extra works for all the smokes.

    Visited the restaurant today with the Mrs (first time visiting, and trying Korean BBQ . Amazing! The staff were super friendly and helpful. The online booking system is very easy to use (I was able to add more food as needed throughout the duration). I will definitely be returning, really great value for money. Thanks again for the great experience.

    I was disappointed by the treatment and felt as though the staff, although not blatantly rude, singled us out by giving us wooden utensils although everyone else in the restaurant had metal as well as other small things like not explaining how we order food and placing us right in the back by the toilet although other seating was available. The food is overpriced, the treatment we received was almost certainly racially motivated and I will not actively warning my friends and family that this restaurant or and others make a habit to treat paying customers like less than because we look different. I would have hoped to have experienced a welcoming demeanour as we clearly wanted to experience something different but it just goes to show that these chain restaurants only care about their own and make no effort in welcoming individuals who are new to the cuisine experience. So disappointed, worst customer service and treatment I’ve experienced in years. Absolutely shameful.

    We had an amazing time here. Great selection of food to choose from. Atmosphere was perfect. One of the staff members even gave us some tips on how to grill the food and how to eat them (with garnishes). All of the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be returning in the near future

    We pre booked the BBQ table and upon arrival we placed order thru their app. It has all the information about what’s popular & the dishes spice level. We ordered the mixed meat platter with some other dishes. The staff is friendly and efficient to help with the bbq and it’s meat are all well marinated! The glass noodles is delicious and flavorful. We truly enjoyed our dinner and the flavor is authentic enough to my experience in Korea. Recommend to make reservations as they can get really busy during peak dining hours! Would visit again for sure 👍🏻

    Lovely restaurant, great food and friendly staff. If you get a table with a grill, it’s fun to cook some meat yourself. Ingredients are fresh and prepared perfectly. You can order an entire feast for a few people and the price won’t be that expensive, especially for central London. Located a few minutes walk from Piccadilly Circus, the restaurant itself is a little small but is definitely a place for a fun memorable meal out with friends. If you are three or more people get some sharing platters, especially the fried chicken platter and the “all the meat” platter to fry up yourself!

    Food was great. However small portions and no sides, comparing to food we ate in Korea. Service fee of 10% was automatically included in the bill but was not worth it since we ordered directly from the phone. Paid cash, they didn’t have change, so ended up leaving more tips than they deserved.

    Fantastic food. We were perfectly hosted. Had a flight to catch and only 30 minutes to eat. Without question they gave us a table and prioritized us. Food came in under 10 minutes after ordering. Absolutely amazing!

    There are almost all kinds of Korean menus. Especially lunch menu is great value and reasonable price. It is a good place for family and friends dining. Korean BBQ, fried chicken, hot stone bibimbap, galbi tang etc… very delicious!!! I would like to recommend it to people who want to experience Korean food for the first time.

    We usually dine at Piccadially Yori, but on Saturday we were turned away from a table because they said they were already booked, even though there were several empty tables and a queue outside. Not even the manager could make the waitress refuse to sit us. It's unfortunate because I promised my elderly parents to try Korean barbecue. When we attempted to reserve a BBQ table by calling Kingscross, the operator angrily refused us. We decided to go strand branch. There was a huge queue and a lot of people in this place. We received updates on the table from the staff three times, and in twenty minutes, they were able to seat us. It's a bad there isn't a BBQ table, but yet, it's worth attending. We had a great time. The atmosphere at Covent Garden is lively and the staff are fantastic

    Lovely staff!!! Quick service! And great food!! You can complimentary side dishes which is rare to see with free refills. Food comes very quickly too and staff are happy to provide take away boxes if you can't finish everything you order. Highly recommend!!

    Amazing place for the KBBQ experience. Friendly Staff and services although the only issue was they ran out of metal spoon for some reason so had to use a plastic spoon for the seafood soup 😬 Nonetheless we ordered the Beef Bulgogi set which had a variety of pieces of beef meat (it says Beef tongue but you don't actually get it so menu needs updating) Also for ordering you scan a QR code to order on your phone but the signal was pretty bad. Anyways we thoroughly enjoyed the dinner with my wife for her birthday. Avoid the toilet I would say even for the mens one. Overall come for the food and great service! 👍 👌

    Was my first time here. The staff were so so helpful, polite, friendly and even wished us a Merry Christmas as we left. Food was awesome, drink was awesome. I left very satisfied. Will definitely recommend and I'll be bringing some more friends next time.

    Came for a birthday meal and the food was very delicious! The meat was very juicy especially when you wrap lettuce around it, like a succulent meaty goodness in one mouthful. The sauces and side sour salad added that much needed complimentary flavour. We booked a table for 2 and were seated at a roomy 4 person table tucked away by the corner providing that distance from other diners, not something you get often in London. It definitely made our meal more enjoyable. The glasses, utensils, plates, seats and table felt very clean. The flavour of the Korean fried chicken was a bit disappointing though, full of batter with no white pickles, but a generous portion size which we liked! Price is ok for London? Not the cheapest but not the most expensive. Toilets were absolutely tiny and could have been in a better condition.

    I really enjoyed my dinner in there, lots of Korean food which is quite authentic and almost same taste as in Korea. Friendly staff and great location for sightseeing after dinner. Would definitely recommend and come back.

    Even if the place was very busy, they made everything we can to make us feel welcome and have a pleasant experience. Particular mention for Ha and Dhava that were very nice during the whole dinner. We’ll come back soon, thanks!

    Been here several times and have loved it every time. Excellent service and the staff were lovely and attentive - especially Girish who was very kind in assisting us during dinner. Online ordering system made it very easy to order and food came out very quickly! I ordered the spicy pork belly withe egg fried rice and it was delicious. Would definitely recommend the restaurant!

  • 5/5 Lubomira_Dimitrova -. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    During mine and my husband's recent visit to Yori, a delightful Korean BBQ place, we were fortunate enough to be served by two incredible waitresses, Ams and Ha. Their kindness and attention to detail truly set our dining experience apart. From the moment we sat down, Ams and Ha went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. They were not only attentive, ensuring our time spent there was perfect and our sides plentiful, but also displayed an infectious enthusiasm and knowledge about the menu that enriched our meal. Very lovely and amazing darlings! Will visit again especially just to see their bright smiles again! ^^

    This was my first time at a Korean BBQ place. The food was fantastic and the variety was brilliant. Really good portion sizes. The customer service was great and the staff are really nice and friendly.

  • 5/5 Nathan L. 1 year ago on Google
    This small Korean resturant had amazing and tasty food, as usual with korean food it is tasty, however this resturant has made its way to one of my favourites. There is usually a long queue formed regardless of lunch or dinner time, so make sure you are early enough to skip that queue.

    I don’t go for K BBQ anywhere in Britain because I think they are generally expensive and not so value for money as compared to just anywhere in Asia outside of Korea. But if I have a craving for it Yori is where I go. The selections are decent and the service friendly and quick even during peak hour. I’ve yet to try the very popular K BBQ in Chinatown but the queue is always so long…

  • 5/5 S L. 3 months ago on Google New
    This place is small and not fancy - don't bother dressing up for it. You have to order and pay via a QR code on arrival at your table. However, the food is absolutely scrummy - we had a lovely young woman server (Danielle?) cook our food on the BBQ table grill. Everything was truly delicious...we had the Kimchi pancake, soy chicken, bimibap and BBQ grill. Highly recommend for great food, kind service and fair prices.

  • 5/5 Eva D. 3 months ago on Google New
    Very lovely and polite team, tasty food and cool atmosphere. Prices are ok for the quality, I recommend that! 👍 (Be careful it's so spicy 🌶️)

  • 4/5 Tanja L. 3 months ago on Google New
    This was one of the best Korean Barbecue Restaurants that I have visited in Europe. Food was good quality and Service friendly. Most of tables with grills, table grill possible with 4 people or more.

  • 2/5 IAIN S. 8 months ago on Google
    Perhaps controversially, I feel the need to write a review which seemingly contrasts with many other seen for this restaurant. The food was good. Staff did a good job. The prices were OK (but only when considering the location maybe - otherwise, for example, £3.50 for 5 round lettuce leaves seems on the steep side). The service was perfectly pleasant and decent but I have to question what ‘service’ was actually received. The whole ordering experience was via an app so opportunities to offer service are quite limited. When wanting to ask a question about the menu it was left for me to call over a member of staff (there was no attempt to ask if we needed assistance or guidance). The response given was clear and helpful, as it should be, but I’m not sure where the ‘service’ was. Drinks were brought promptly but there was a presumption we would drink from the can and bottle - no glass was offered, it had to be requested. The table wasn’t cleared of finished plates/ dishes throughout the meal. The (free) tap water ordered on the app never appeared. Overall, staff interaction was minimal so it genuinely angers me to then me forced to pay the 10% additional service. I could go on here but point made I hope. Above all, I wanted to say how unclean the whole restaurant felt. Clean tables, cutlery, dishes and glasses but this restaurant need lad a good deep clean. Grubby and grimey are the most suitable words here. Needless to say, I won’t be back.

    I come here several times a year when I visit London to enjoy Korean BBQ. The food is tasty & authentic, and the staff are attentive. I recommend the spring onion pajeon (pancake!). You can reach this restaurant easily from Leicester Square or Piccadilly Circus stations.

    Had a fantastic dinner. Very tasty, great service and reasonably priced. Will definitely come back!!

  • 4/5 Eu Jin S. 1 year ago on Google
    I visited YORI on a Monday evening with a huge craving for Korean BBQ and I haven’t left disappointed. This place gets very busy in the evening so I highly recommend booking this place in advance if you’re planning to get a BBQ grill table (as they are limited in store). However, if you’re happy with them cooking for you the wait will be much quicker to get in too. We got the All Meat Set which includes 2 different cuts of beef, as well as marinated pork and chicken included. The meat were fresh and very well seasoned, however, I feel the portions were slightly smaller than if you order them separately or grill it yourself. Overall, the food was great and so is the ambiance, but we felt the portion was the only critique I have for price we paid (£42 after GST).

    The food was good, squid a bit spicy for me but very tasty. But the service was outstanding! one of the waiter was ending his shift and leaving the restaurant when he saw that we wanted to pay. He came back immediately , dropped his stuffs and asked if we needed any help. Nicest person ever, highly recommend

  • 5/5 Charlie H. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been many times to Yori. The food here is delicious. And the staff is nice, helpful and friendly. Very appropriate for having a meal in the cold winter. You can directly place your order via the QR code, which is convenient!

  • 5/5 Grigoris G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to have a couple of nimbles and a drink! If you have the appetite you can always go for BBQ and cook your own meat! The service is friendly and the prices are reasonable for Piccadilly standards! Easily my favourite place in the area!

    Food was lacking in flavour and oddly didn’t even emit any food aroma! Not authentic Korean cuisine, more like a very westernised version. We were in a rush and only ordered 3 items, they only brought out 2. My husband hates wasting food, but felt compelled to leave the Korean pancakes as it was bland and undercooked. Definitely will not be returning

    Service at this restaurant was outstanding- prompt and attentive. Almost mind reading! Was thinking about asking for tap water and next server to walk by asked me if I wanted some! And the beef bulgogi was delicious- the portion was generous, but so good I wanted to stuff more in to just to keep enjoying it the flavour. Things came out very quickly as well. Highly recommend this place- excellent food at a reasonable price!
