Make sure you go for the BBQ where it is cooked in front of you - don't worry, the staff talk you through everything if you are unsure! Don't be afraid of the Ox Tongue ... Gorgeous!

Monica

My favourite Korean place by far. The BBQ meat is delicious and tender, pajeon is super tasty, there is a reason why there are always people waiting to get a table... Highly recommend it.

Kostas

Among other Korean restaurants around Holborn, this is a decent one. Nice atmosphere and good value . Not impressed by the food, although we didn't order grill dishes as we didn't see any ventilation.

Farhanah Diman

Been here a couple of times and the queue's forever long but the food's goood. All chi gae(s) are awesome but be patient w the service as specific people are assigned to specific duties.

JP Jones

normally great food and good service . today - good food and abysmal service. not sure what's changed, but please change it back!

Magnolia Sunrise

We came for the bbq but they don't serve it for the lunch time. Meals was good and prices fair . They take the lunch order till 3pm.

Laura Rees

Superb Korean food . Beautiful flavours and wonderful service. Tucked away with unassuming street entrance - a wonderful find! Read more

Roxanna

Don't show up without a dinner reservation , even on a Wed night. We had one and even then took a further 10 mins wait to get seated!

Mark Weeden

The traditional bbq beef was incredible and the staff take the time to talk newbies through the traditional way of eating - delicious! Read more

Cathy Wang

The Korean BBQ is good. Raw squid is nice too. Service is not fantastic and the waitresses forgot some orders

Laura Delgado Ranalli

The food was good but completely overpriced for the quantities. We all left hungry :/ poor service, one of the servers even seemed annoyed to the point that we asked if there was something wrong.

James Mayes

Great place, hidden away. Recommended C5 - sweet n spicy chicken .

Elizabeth Wall

Although there is usually a long line and it is fairly expensive , the food was good. Not the best Koreans in London but will hit the spot

Em Ess

You have to pay for banchan which hurts my Korean heart and fills me with han.

Ami

Kimchee jigae was perfect after a cold, rainy day. You have to pay for banchan, sadly. 'Eh' if you're accustomed to K-food from LA, but it's decent for London. Slightly spooky, cavernous space.

Rowan Manning

Great service, and the staff put up well with people who have no idea how to eat Korean food properly!

Pares Tailor

amazing food, brought back memories of being in Seoul #kimchi

Liza Tripsget

The kimchi soup was amazing!

Jana Sooz

Tried the sashimi salad with rice . Delicious! Bit spicy .

Ho-Yee Li

The Korean BBQ here is good, but it's never good when the waiter implies you're lying about how many people you booked for...

Carrie Leong

Ruh's farewell lunch #tofuspicybrothwithegg #tata #designer

Aivaras Lukauskis

Amazing food and relaxed atmosphere ...

Miso

Worst Korean restaurant in London, came here w/my Korean family who were in town . Manager and staff extremely rude and deliberately unattentive, food took ages, quality of food ????. Just don't.

Anthony Hua

Food was good and prices reasonable, but was encouraged to leave to make table free, even though wasn't massively busy and we weren't even there that long. Poor show.

Sarah Shucksmith

Staff completely inattentive (aside from when it comes to paying the bill)!

Daryl Gent

Quite good. Fairly cheap lunch menu .

Angela Liu

pretty decent lunch sets

Nado

???? yummmmm authentic Korean food

David Leadercramer

Food good but the service is shockingly slow. They seem very disorganised for some reason which is a shame as it could be a good lunchtime restaurant

Hanz

Try the pancake ! Superb

Wing To

Korean bbq yummy

Pauline H

Despite being so expensive , still felt hungry after leaving. Food often arrived late and the taste were so-so. The manager was also incredibly rude.

Siv

Great quality Korean food .

Perry Clark

Don't eat yellow snow!

Emily in Public

Be careful ordering the seafood bibimbop . 20 minute wait turned into 40 (with everyone else at the table getting their food and me staring at an empty plate). Not great service & unhelpful manager

Carrie W

Yuk hwae, gal bi and hae mool jeon gol are nice. Sam gyup sal kui is just ok.

Kenneth Kwok

Kimchi Bokum Bab is excellent here

Bibimbap Soho

Great Place for quality Korean food in London

Pj Jones

Get the Gal Bi and some sticky rice - it's the bomb diggity!

Y Kim

Crowded . Slow. Foods are expensive and quality is not bad but not good. Takes reservation though.

Shaohan Cai

Worst service ever!!!! Every waiter is incredibly rude, especially the manager, only one waiter takes food order for the entire restaurant ! DO NOT COME!!!

Jake

Try the Korean stews called chige. It's great and very authentic .

L Xu

Mediocre Korean food but there's not much choice in London. Book in advance to avoid long and slow queues

Vince Alpha

Good food but overpriced for the amount you get. Service is impeccable though

Emily Cheah

Overpriced. Staff wasn't attentive. Food portion was small.

Salvo

Bulgogi was pretty good.

Foodforlife

Paul Lo

Over priced food, slow and poor service and generally poor

Fern Meryl

Very rude service. Food was mediocre and expensive .

Heungwoo Lee

우거지 갈비탕 먹었습니다. 맛은 한국에서 먹던것만큼 맛있는데 국물이 조금 부족한듯한 느낌이고 반찬은 하나도 안나옵니다.
