If you want to try real korean taste this is the place. This place serve amazing Korean food, it was hard to make a selection The atmosphere was also much nicer than the photos on Google Maps made it look. This is now my favourite restaurant in Central London. Strongly recomended!!!!!

    Friendly service, quirky menu. Stopped here for lunch. Loved the volcano rice and fried chicken with sticky sweet soy sauce. Will definitely come back to try other items on the menu.

    The best one so far in town. My bf and I come here every week. Tried all food on the menu, we would recommend everything, especially shrimp tempura and soups as they are very rich and tasty. Very authentic Korean food. Note to the owner: keep going, you are on the right track!

    The best korean restaurant I've been to & its actually true. I can say this is the most authentic korean restaurant in london. They offer really high quality food, Ive tried everything in the menu and I recommend all of them especially the shrimp tempura and kimchi jigae. Amazing staff and very welcoming.

    This was my third time eating Korean food, and my expectations were met having very good food. We kicked off with some dumplings, then ordering a second round as they were gooood! I was mostly excited to starting my adventure in getting to know Korea's fried chicken, and have some more bibimbap. However a new experience was the Yuk-gae-jang that had Oat Meal in, a good kind of different.

    Went there on a sad drizzling evening but lit up by the spicy seafood ramen... :) Thanks for the good wishes! Just thought it might be cuter to play some K-indie (instead of just instrumental piano) songs. Tons of playlist on YouTube! Will revisit.

    We had lunch here and everything we ordered were really delicious. The restaurant is airy and spacious, and on a sunny summer day, thereโ€™s plenty of lights coming through. Staff were friendly. Toilets were clean. It was overall a really enjoyable experience.

    Really great service from the servers, who were very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious, smaller portions than I thought they'd be, however the food was hot, delicious and tasted great. One of the few places where the seafood pancake was not greasy but very crispy. It was very quiet when we went for dinner as the restaurant opened at 5:30. The atmosphere was very chill, calm and relaxing. I'd definitely recommend this place for Korean food lovers.

    Really delicious food, but was a little disappointed with the size of the tteokbokki which was really small and the bibimbap wasn't made from the kitchen and it's not in a hot stone pot. Also there weren't any side dishes :(

    I came after seeing some review saying this is authentic Korean. I donโ€™t see the same, as there were no free cold dishes being served as starters. The beef ribs were ok, although too sweet and I felt if it was reheat from a frozen ready-cooked. The rice cake dish felt the same. One good thing Is they cook rice in Asian way. If ยฃ30/person for two frozen packs purchased from an Asian market is the price of authenticity, I would rather go somewhere else instead.

    Incredible Korean food! Flavor was amazing, our new favorite Korean place in town. Portions were filling and immensely satisfying. We will be sure to come back and bring our friends and family. Our only regret, is not discovering this place sooner.

    so happy with this place. I'm leaving my work (near there) next week and I am genuinely gutted that i do not get to go there more often. I ordered a sweet and spicy chicken as a lunch meal - was glorious. I do not think i am lying to you by saying that that was quintessential Korean Fried chicken in the nutshell. Glorious. The sides were very nice, tea was glorious, someone offered more hot water free of charge too so that was lovely. Genuinely enjoyed it, the food tasted authentic and it was genuinely made with love. super happy with i!

    Everything tasted delicious. I especially loved the beef bulgogi, one of the best ones I've ever tried! Cute small restaurant with lovely staff, great food and portions are big and filling.

    Seafood pancake and crispy fried chicken was really good. Blackberry soju was exquisite. Overall ambience felt authentic. The only negative feedback would be the prices for the portion size you get.

    Went for a lunch in Dodam and was blown away how great food was. Staff were very friendly and atmosphere was great. I would give more stars if I could.

  • 5/5 Hyewon S. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best Korean restaurants in London - the korean fried chicken is phenomenal if eaten in store! I think they are more focused on deliveries, as the store ambience isnโ€™t as fancy as some of the other Korean restaurants, but if you live around the area I would strongly recommend visiting. ์‚ฌ์žฅ๋‹˜ ๊น€๋ฐฅ ์žฌ์ถœ์‹œ ํ•ด์ฃผ์„ธ์š” ใ… ใ…  ๋„ˆ๋ฌด๋„ˆ๋ฌด ์ข‹์•„ํ•˜๋˜ ๋ฉ”๋‰ด์ธ๋ฐ ์‚ฌ๋ผ์ ธ์„œ ์Šฌํผ์š”โ€ฆ

    Good service and tasty food but a little overpriced and rice isn't included with the BBQ dishes. I would visit again though.

  • 3/5 Melissa C. 4 years ago on Google
    Came here on my own for lunch as my office is nearby. Would recommend this place for a treat, as food is good and healthy too. But portion sizes are small and expensive for what it is. Bimbimbap not served in hot stone, was a bit disappointed, but the colourful rice was really yummy and felt very healthy. I would say it is authentic.

    We went here because we saw it had good reviews, we were not disappointed! All the dishes were nice especially enjoyed the seafood pa-jeon. Service was fast and friendly too! We did spent quite a lot as the drinks are a bit pricey. But felt worth it in the end
