Tucked away from the madness of Oxford St, this little Korean place offers a great value lunch menu and efficient service . The spicy pork and rice dish was delicious! Book a table as it gets busy.

Jason Hirst

WOW!! This is a brilliant place for a cosy romantic night with your better half or a fun night with friends! Fantastic food with a fun atmosphere !

Jaime Cárdenas Castro

The good: great bbq quality, good location, meat is cooked in front of you. The bad: a bit pricey , why do we have to pay for lettuce/kimchi?! (it's usually free!)

Bijan Young

Really good food. Barbecue selection main & soft-shell starter a must. Miss cocktails - too sweet & long to make. Go for their take on sake . Staff officious but really cool when you break the ice.

Lester Kan

Korean BBQ and food is good and well presented. Good ventilation. Staff rush and lack awareness. Beer not served chill cold. Food 7/10, service 5/10, ambience 7/10, value for money 7/10

Jules Belcher

Very nice food and quite a unique dining experience. However, it won't fill you up unless you order a loads (but then I do eat A LOT!). Definitely worth going to - you won't regret it!

Arturo B

8/10. Not the cheapest place for Korean BBQ , but the quality is great. The chimney cooker hoods make for an interesting dining experience. The Kalbi was delicious.

Anise Hsin

Really nice authentic Korean bbq in London. They cook the raw marinated meat in front of you. Not a lot of korean restaurants in London do that, but I like this is the best way.

Kim Pham

Stellar Korean BBQ - get the ribeye , ox tongue , and pork belly . The mochi ice cream is a great treat too!

Aivory Gaw

Surprisingly delicious - and you don't leave with your clothes smelling like BBQ . We went for the marinade BBQ selection with tofu kimchi and japchae as a side.

Carrie W

Japchae , tofu jjigae, fried chicken and bulgogi bibimbap are all very tasty. But the smell of Korean bbq will stay on your clothes ...

Adam Fowles

Great experience for a special occasion ! Go for the BBQ plater if it's your first time to get a real taste of what's on offer.

Mat Smith

Lunch menu is delicious and reasonable. Dinner goes a bit pricier ....

Brad T

One of the best Korean bbq places in london for sure. Grab the Koba bbq for two for a great cross selection of meat and seafood .

Kukkii Koppee

BBQ is a must and the assorted kimchi was surprisingly good. Leave room for mochi icecream dessert .

Michael Lange

Top notch. Grand quality. Highly recommended! Plenty of Koreans visiting. Do make reservation even for lunch . ????

Kostas

Kind of a fine-dining Korean BBQ . Definitely worth a visit. Staff was helpful and the atmosphere is nice.

Valerie Marouche

The barbecue is just fantastic. High quality meat and seafood , Koba BBQ Selection highly recommended. Staff could be a bit friendlier though.

Maral

Korean BBQ is one of my favourite cuisines!!! This place is not the best I have been to but definitely is one of the best in London...

Scott Bridges

Fantastic Korean food . Better than Po Chung Ma Cha. Sit at the bar or a BBQ table with own extractor fan.

Paprika Lau

Foods are tasty. I already recommend my friend to visit.

Jennifer Ross

If you're new to the whole Korean BBQ thing the staff will gladly help you cook your food and explain everything on the menu.

Jules Belcher

Fantastic, unique dining experience in central London.

Avril Jiao

you need to try this pork belly ! So tasty ~

Anthony Cameron

Really good bibimbap and BBQ (especially the Pork belly )

Becky H

The seafood and tofu stew is soo good, the best I've had!

Anthony Sexton

A couple of dishes are great but on the whole, most of the food and the service (especially) are bit of a let down.

Letitia Allman

The Kimchi fried rice & Koba BBQ selection were great!

Enes

Very nice Korean spicy and BBQ food ????????

Paprika Lau

not my first time here but this time it really disappoint me. I cannot stand the poor service. For a better experience, If there’s no enough assistants maybe u’d better not received the reservation .

Najube

Shame about having to pay for things that are normally complimentary like kimchi , bean sprouts , spinach , etc, but the service was very friendly and attentive.

Christopher Fonseka

Fantastic place, great food, friendly staff

Rory

Nice counter bar so great lunch place if you're eating by yourself.

Thomas Neumann

The BBQ was nice. Liked the tofu with kimchi and pork as a starter.

Paul Lindsell

Bibimbap and tea are really good

Jade Tokarczyk

Always good food and friendly staff ! Have the Sogogi chapssal gooi.

Ramona Comanescu

Good selection of meats

prima fili

Pancakes were delicious. Not so impressed with the bbq , it was a bit tasteless and we ended up smelling of bbq because the ventilation is lacking.

Soy marinated beef

Marjorie C

Have to pay for sides that are normally complementary in other Korean restaurants but service was really friendly and helpful.

Matthew Ng

Pretty decent korean food but portion is small

Mathew Wilson

This place was a disaster. They charged £15 for some burned veg and poor bits of meat, while bumping us all evening, but worst of all, our waiter assured us everything was gluten free but it wasn't.
