What locals say
My friend and I went there on a Thursday evening. We didn’t have to wait to get a table. But it took us a while to order and have our food. However, the food was delicious. The spicy chicken feet was not burning hot, but I could feel the heat from within making the spice stay a bit longer in my system, which makes this dish perfect for winter weather. The fried chicken are okay, they are still tasty but not outstanding.
Gamjatang is the highlight and what I would come back for . Other dishes are average - seafood pancake was doughy and lacked seafood toppings. Fried chicken was also dry and didn’t have a great batter texture. Japchae was decent Service was quick and attentive. Cash discount. No Amex accepted
Came here following a friend recommendation. Very delicious and quick lunch. Lots of choice on menu. Reasonable price for high quality food. I chose beef soup noodles which came with purple rice which was very comforting on a cold and windy day. Will definitely come back.
Skip this place—there are better options in London. BBQ: Completely inauthentic. They line the grill with paper (probably to be lazy with cleaning). The staff insisted on cooking everything for us immediately to stop the paper from burning, which defeats the purpose of DIY BBQ. Even on low heat, there was a strong burnt smell due to the paper. (i.e. you can see all pork belly was barbecued at once by the staff in my video, even though we hoped to have pork belly and beef rib taking turns.) Gamjatang: Bland and forgettable. We didn't even finish it. The version at the restaurant in Angel is far superior. Fried Chicken: The batter was crispy, but the chicken inside was dry and overcooked. Cold Buckwheat Noodles in Broth: This was the only okay dish, but honestly, that's just because the broth tasted exactly like the instant packaged noodles you buy at a Korean supermarket. Overall, a disappointing meal. The price was “reasonable” with a reason. I wouldn't come back.
We’ve been to a lot of Korean restaurants in London and this place is by far our favourite Korean food spot to go to in SE London. Ever since we tried it a couple years ago, we keep coming back! The food is amazing, every time we go here, everything is super fresh, tasty and served hot. All the staff are very accommodating and welcoming too. I can’t recommend it enough! I would recommend booking before as it can get quite busy, they do accept walk-ins but, you will often have to wait around 30mins for a table on a weekend.
