ZAXX - KOREAN KITCHEN

Halal Korean spot.
The food is good.  I tried the beef bowl,  veg gyoza, pancakes and fries.
It was all really nice.  I reckon if I come back and try the chicken wings and burger they'd be really good.
Staff is really friendly.
It's quite chill to eat in, there some seating and a bathroom.
On a busy night things do get sold out, I recommend going early

Very shocked and surprised at the quality and taste of the food here at zaxx. It was absolutely amazing for Korean style food. The portion size and flavourings are all unique and tasty.  Will definitely be ordering here many more times.

Ate in the restaurant and there was a large group being quite loud but not eating any food, and so the atmosphere wasn’t great unfortunately. I felt like I was interfering in a private party by being there.

Food wise everything was good, but I wasn’t sure about the bibimbap (£10.95 for a regular). There was lime juice, a creamy sauce, some raw spinach, crunchy unseasoned radish and beansprouts and a ton of fresh chillis.

I’m used to dolsot bibimbap which is served in the hot stone bowl and has more sesame oil flavours and an egg on top and I think I prefer that version. Although this one gave a lot of prawns, the veggies and rice were too plain and sour for me and it was hard to mix. Plus it got cold pretty quick.

The Kimchi was a huge portion for one person and wasn’t fermented as much as I am used to but was probably a good fresh kimchi for those who like that style.

The fries and fried chicken bites were hot and crispy which was nice and big portions and the sauce on the chicken was good. But not sure if it’s worth the price. I am curious about the “death sauce” and would maybe go back for the chicken bites on their own to try it. The loaded fries and Korean corn dog also looked good.

Tasty food especially the chicken, fries and prawns, they have vegan options too

The wings are so good and generously portioned! Ask for half /half. The Korean pancakes are a bit greasy. They have improved seating so there in more space for eating in

Seoul Bird

Was expecting much more from this place.
I got the signature Seoul burger! Yes it was Korean fried chicken but rest of it was just lettuce! I had to check if they forgot to add the sauce, which was too less for the dressing.
Fries were good, food was hot and served quickly.

Came here after some shopping. Staff were decently friendly and it’s pretty quick service. Food was nice and fries also come with sauce. The pouch drinks are really nice and full of flavour. I would come back for these, however, a little pricey for juice.

It was my first time having Korean food. I was curious how it tasted and the friendly staff behind the counter advised me. The question was very simple: what do I need to order if you want me to come back again.
Answer: Rice bowl with chicken, lettuce and kimchi. Said and done and yes it really tastes great. I was a bit scared of the kimchi's taste but it tastes very similar to the Turkish pickle I used to eat in my childhood. I will definitely eat Korean again.

I had been to Seoul twice, and be surprised by Seoul Bird in a negative way.

This is definitely not Korean Fried Chicken you can eat in Seoul.

The chicken pieces were too big, and where are the skins? I can only taste the breads.

And also the sauces were served separately as dips, not spilled on chicken before serving.

And where are the dishes and gloves?

No, this is NOT the Seoul style.

very much enjoyed the burger from here. the flavour was just sensational. the chips were okay, portion was disgustingly small for price. and the mac and cheese went to waste, it was disgusting, horrible and just inedible. it had no taste and the weirdest texture, would definitely leave that out if you do go to visit! although the atmosphere was off, we had a homeless man shout in our faces…

All our chicken is Halal the only non halal item is our chicken dumpling. We are very transparent and have gone to great lengths to make our product fully inclusive.

Just great! Always good! Quick service and food as well as fantastic flavours! The portions are massive! The deals are good! The prices are good! The fried chicken is the best! Always a go to when craving something quick and delicious! You must visit if thinking of having fried chicken in London. Also it can be quite healthy if you pick the grilled chicken. Lovely place with lovely atmosphere and they are always happy to take you in. No need for reservation. A must visit!

Delicious Korean-style fried chicken, took my kids here for the ultimate verdict and they are a big fan. One loves the wings and the other loves the tenders - myself I prefer the tenders, crispier but very moist meat inside.

Came back here this weekend with the kiddos and my nephew as we needed a good chicken place that was Halal friendly and they all thoroughly enjoyed it!

We got the big sharing platter with 4 wings, 4 tenders and 4 thighs. We also ordered a large portion of chips and some extra wings and tenders. Was a great meal and we were stuffed! We didn’t have to wait too long either for our big order.

A different take on fried chicken and Korean style! I like this place! Food is fresh and some great sauces! The fried chicken is tender and crispy! A really good range of combos available for everybody! Service is ok, once we waited at the front to get a seat, and this time we just walked in and grabbed a table! The self-service screen is very simple and easy to use. Very efficient! Food arrives in good time after your number is called! Oh and yes, the Lotus Biscoff is too good! Literally unbelievable!!!! Worth the visit every time!!!!

The burger is crispy and full of flavour , had the loaded fries too. very good portion size and very very filling. Would highly recommend the mocktails tooooo, we loved it so much we got seconds 😍❤️‍🔥

Wow. Just wow. Love it! My choice was itsu but I saw “Korean street food” and Korean is one of my top three cuisines. The staff were great from the start with a lovely welcome, directions to the self ordering machine and to available seating. The food was amazing - much larger than expected - and I definitely got my moneys worth here!
I got a (very large) Seoul bowl with grilled chicken, a side of small (but still big) Kimchi Mac n Cheese and a lotus milkshake and paid 20. Loved it from top to bottom, start to finish!!

Bunsik

I'm not a fan of hot dogs but went to China Town with some friends that really want to try it, and oh my!! It was incredible. My only disappointment is that my partner and I shared it and didn't get one each.
We got the potato corn dog, and it was incredible. Every time I am ever near one, I will always make sure to pop in!!

I’ve always wanted to try this Korean hot dog and I can say I was not disappointed. It was really good. I got the potato hot dog with the buldak mayo [the best sauce for the hot dog in my opinion] TWICE; I went back to get another one. The batter is really light and crunchy and has a really subtle sweet taste.

So I went for the original and Doukbokki of cheddar. I have to say it definitely satisfies my hunger cravings it was the right consistency of dough, not too cakey. The sausage was nice and it was crispy on the outside. The sauces on top were all really nice, went for a trio of their house mayo, mustard and ketchup. I thought the original would have cheese in it but it must have been another item on the menu as it was just sausag, it wasn't the clearest. It came pretty quickly but I saw they are constantly being made and piled up and then someone just makes them to order. These should be eaten immediately because I walked out and tried to find a small corner outside by seven dials and it was luke-warm at that point. The doukbokki with cheddar was nice, didn't quite know exactly what it was but the rice pieces were like gnocchi texture shaped like penne pasta and I think it was kimchi style sauce and vegetables. Kinda spicy and didn't finish it.

I'd definitely go again and try the other hotdog item WITH CHEESE and with potato pieces. I think it's also fairly priced too.

It's fairly congested inside and awkward area to stand waiting for your food but they make it work pretty well. Also staff are super friendly!

Decent, but definitely overhyped. Waited for about 20 minutes to order, which I anticipated. I ordered the potato dog and the original corn dog. Both were not as savoury as I excepted. It’s probably worth a try just for the experience!

Tried corndogs for the first time in my life and really loved them! They are super filling and delicious. The queue is usually quite long and you have to wait for a while to get your corndogs so would not recommend if you are in a rush.

We are Halal certified and serve a range of delicious Halal treats including our signature chicken corn dog. All of our Halal products are prepared and cooked seperately to our non-Halal products.

The South Bank in London has a multitude of wonderful places to eat. Here are just a couple of dining spots to whet your appetite.

@bunsik_london now have 3 locations, but the least manic location in terms of queues is on the Embankment, a stones throw away from the South Bank. If you want to try the best Halal Corn Dogs in London, then @bunsik_london is the place to visit. Halal items are clearly indicated on their menu.

After a leisurely stroll along the River Thames on the South Bank, another great place to try is @bobs_lobster, which currently has residency at the Terrace inside the @nationaltheatre. There are no Halal meat options, but most of their menu is Fish or Veg options. Dishes such as Lobster Roll and Crayfish Croquettes are amazing.

As the festive period is now approaching, there are so many awesome street Vendors you can checkout as well on the South Bank.

@halal_chronicles's review of Bunsik on Instagram

Came here for a quick lunch as it's just a 5-minute walk from my office. Luckily there was no queue so I was able to order as soon as I walked in. I decided on the potato mozzarella corn dog as I was really looking forward to the cheese pull so I went ahead with that and got some sweet chilli sauce and mayo on top. Waiter was friendly and I waited for around 10 minutes as they were freshly deep frying the food according to order.

I enjoyed my corn dog a lot - it was crispy and hot and I got the cheese pull I wanted! Portion was perfect for me who has a smaller stomach than most people. The one thing that dragged the score down for me was that the stick fell off as soon as I had my first bite, so I ended up finishing the corn dog with my hands which was not ideal since it completely defeat the purpose of putting it on a stick.

I liked the overall atmosphere with K-pop songs running on a TV in the background when I was eating. Really brings back the good old days when I was a hardcore Kpop fan so that was super nostalgic for me!

I had very bad experience in this place. I ordered a vegetarian noodle, and when I was ready to eat it there was a little piece of meat in it, and I showed it to the front desk and she wouldn't admit it was meat and said it was mushrooms, and I was absolutely 100% sure it was meat, but they wouldn't admit it and they were so mean. I said give me my money back or make me a new one, but she said no , as a customer I did not have taste the noodle and they throw it away without any apology or compensation. They were just laughing at me and saying Chinese to each others. Never go there again and never recommend anyone else.

Staff is genuinely really friendly and the food is really good (although some are slightly on the salty side, so rice is a perfect companion with those that has sauces). Really recommend!

Went there a second time and first time trying corn dogs. They are really good👍

Hot dog tasted really soft, not my type. The cheese & cheese one with potatoes is really cheesy. Fried chicken looks better, might try that next time.

Alternative location if you want to try their famous corndogs but don’t fancy the long queues near Leicester Sq.

Updated with fried chicken - great portion, good price and delicious

Glad they had a chicken option. I tried it with mustard and spicy mayo. The chicken sausage was delicious and the sauces also very good. The spicy mayo for me wasn’t spicy but that’s probably me.

I wish the corn batter was crispier and not as thick but that’s a personal preference.

I recommend trying it at least once for the corn dogs.

But if I visit again, I’d be more inclined to try the other dishes they have there.

We are Halal certified and serve a range of delicious Halal treats including our signature chicken corn dog. All of our Halal products are prepared and cooked separately to our non-Halal products.

We really enjoyed our food. Had we not seen a video on tiktok, we probably would have walked past. This goes to show that if your food is good, people will talk about it :).

Every time we’ve come to London we’ve visited without a fail. The viral Bunsik first caught my eye on social media and after trying it I can definitely confirm it is worth every hype! We love the Corn Dogs and my favourite is the Tuna Kimbap! The food has always tasted the same (please don’t change anything!) & the best part of it all it’s Halal too! ⭐️

It’s such a popular street food shop located at the centre of London near Leicester square, and was so happy to see a new branch opened in Camden Town. The potato mozzarella corn dog is an all time favourite. This place also had a decent amount of seating space and a few bubble tea options as well though that didn’t looked as enticing, but can recommend to try their corn dogs anyday.

Highly recommend this place!
We ordered the honey and garlic fried chicken and they tasted yum!👌🏻
We also ordered the corn dog set, which was absolutely our favourite😍
We could pull the mozzarella cheese from the core when eating the corn dog.
The rose rice cakes were very tasty too! The sauce was amazing, wish we could add ramen in it because there was many sauce left after we finished the Tteokbokki

freshly made corn dog and garlic chicken. worth a try. much better than the piccadilly branch, last time i went there they gave me cold and tasteless corn dog.

Gogi

This is an excellent Korean restaurant great food, sharp service, well located just beside the canal. So you can walk there or afterwards walk after the meal.
The service is very quick (a little swift once you've finished, plates go, forks go, and there is a slight rushing you on).

The food is amazing. Tasty. And jyst about enough. That's good.

Amazing! We ordered the Goji platter with a premium with includes egg and corn cheese. All the meats were good but you have to try the soy chicken and the thin slices of meat. So delicious. The corn cheese was so nhami! We also tried the Korean beer. Was good but I bit expensive.
The shrimp dumplings, all I will say it’s try it try it!! Devine! Definitely recommend but come with an empty belly. It’s a feast!

We went there for San Valentines and this place didn't disappoint. First of all, the service was great. The lady waiting us was super kind and nice. We started with the Bulgogi Bao, it comes with two portions. This one was amazing, the buns had the texture of a cloud and the meat was so well marinated and tasty. Then we had some chicken dumplings, these were good, classic dumplings basically. We then ordered the fried chicken with honey garlic and mayo... wow, this one blew my mind. I still dream about this chicken, it was perfectly fried, juicy and the sauce was just out of this world. We finished our dinner with the BBQ Gogi Platter, which comes with 2 soy boneless chicken thighs, 2 beef rib eyes and 2 portions of bulgogi meat. You cook this yourself in the BBQ that's on the table and I'm not the greatest at cooking meat so I messed it up a bit. The bulgogi was yet again, very very good. This also comes with two sauces (can't remember which) and some pieces of vegetables. For all of this and 2 coke zeros, we paid £78. Well worth the money and I'd recommend it 100%!

Good little Korean place. Really delicious crunchy broccoli with good hit of garlic. The Korean chicken was also good with a heap (Giant Heap) of Finely sliced spring onions. Only small critique is the chicken didn't come with a mayo/chilli sauce combo to dip which I have had at most other Korean places. But service was fast and friendly.

It’s just OK‼️the Premium BBQ platter came with only a few items despite the £42 price tag😒 Also compared to Kintan Oxford Circus, none of meat or vegetables here were marinated which is odd🙄 the service was great though👍🏻

We don't do halal beef anymore either for the bulgogi bbq or the beef bibimbab. We only do halal chicken now.

Kome Express

It's not always I give away 5 stars. I have to visit a place twice before reviewing it. I am very critical, just take a look at all my past reviews!

However...

Kome Express 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐🌟

Ordered:

- Gyoza Prawn x2
- Japenese Wings
- Banana Style Half and Half
- Round Bowl (Sweet and Sour Dpn)
- Sushi
- Passion Bubble Tea

This was a meal for 2 turned into 3.5! Their portions are very generous and well worth the money you pay for.

The wife and I enjoyed the Gyoza Prawns, fresh off the hob melts in your mouth!

Japenese wings were crispy and spicy, the flavours on the skin are just 👌🏽

Bananas style half and half you get half original style peppered fried chicken and the other half spicy. Uffff tasty.

Round Bowl is very filling, sticky rice with original kome express sweet and sour chicken.

The Sushi was the killer. The wife is the Sushi connoisseur. She loved it so much she didnt want to finish it. Half of it is left in the fridge saving it for tomorrow. She even asked me to take a close up photo so she can work out the filling! That Sushi was ram packed full of flavour and ingredients!

And of course the bubble tea - you cant fault that.

I dont believe in perfect reviews there has to be room for improvement and so here it is...

I had to travel 35 mins from Forest Gate to Dalston and back. Over an hours drive to pick up great tasting food.

Kome Express can you please move to Forest Gate or somewhere in Stratford so I dont have to travel so far!?

WHAT I GOT
🥟Chicken Gyoza
🍗Yakitori
❤️Salmon Lover Set
🍣Spicy Tuna Roll
🐲Dragon Roll
🦆Crispy Duck Bun
🍛Chicken Katsu Don
🧋Black sugar / Matcha bubble tea

Salmon Lover Set is so cute with a heart❤️ shape box. The salmon is very fresh and full of fish oil. Spicy Tuna Roll with perfect ratio of rice to tuna for the ultimate balanced bite. Dragon Roll is a magic combination of avocado and Katsu king prawn. So delicious 😋😋😋

Crispy Duck Bun consists a great amount of duck slices and salad. The duck sauce level up the taste of bun. Chicken Katsu Don is defo the must eat item. The chicken totally covers the bowl and it’s crispy & perfectly match with the curry sauce. Love it😍😍😍

If you love bubble tea, you shouldn’t miss out their selection. I love the strong tea base with the warm & chewy boba pearls. 🥰🥰🥰

How’s the gyoza and yakitori? See my next post on Instagram @ccgyozalover for details 🤗

@komeexpresshackney offers a high quality Japanese foods on a very reasonable price and you can order takeaway or delivery via @deliveroo and other delivery platforms. Try it and you will love it❤️❤️❤️

Visited there for the first time as it is halal Japanese/Korean , they have nice selection to choose from and reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and very welcoming. The service was efficiently quick. Definitely will recommend them if you need tasty food at lunch break . There is sitting area at the front but not much for room if you plan to go eat in with few friends. Appropriate to take away.

Incredibly kind staff, we had ordered something they didn't have at the time and was generously conpensated. Delicious food & it's halal! Super filling and fresh. Will definitely be coming back, thank so much :)

Loveee this place! Food is great and customer service is ace! I take my kids here often and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming! I also ordered take away today and again great food and service! Highly recommend!

Everything is halal except the following items: Beef, Chicken gyoza, Yakitori sticks, Chicken karaage. Everything else is halal.

Mukbang

A nice place to visit. Especially when you are a K-Pop fan. Good Korean food. We need to translate what everything is. So a menu card with description or pictures would be a big help.

Very good customer service, nice and polite staff and very kind. The food was delicious and service was fast! We got seated and staff was very patient explaining us about the food options. We ordered ramen, tteokbokki and the half and half corndog was so good. Nice Korean music in the background and K-pop pictures for all K-pop lovers. Definitely coming back :)

Fun K-pop atmosphere with lots of great Korean food options!

No given menu, slow service, 30mins waiting only for two ordered sets of chicken, service button pressed infinite times but no assitance at all

Our halal chicken and beef options are clearly labelled in our menu.

YORI (Wimbledon)

Been here few times and absolutely love this place. The front of house was a great host and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Great food. Highly recommend them if you are after a decent Korean food. Great selections of yummy dishes. Will definitely be back again..
Thank you

Came in here after queuing for 12 hours to see the Queen lying in state…so you can imagine how ready we were for a sit down and a hot meal.
I nearly always order a type of spicy soup when I eat Korean food, and this one hit the spot.
My 2 friends ordered the other dishes which complimented each other and made a well-rounded meal.
After eating all this we were certainly well rounded, and very satisfied.

Love the fact that we can go in and cook our own food! Very tasty and flavoursome food! Good value for money. We had a great time. Just don’t wear really fancy clothes as you may come out smelling of bbq food!

Overall it was a good experience.   Food came out quickly and was of a high quality.   Only thing that was lacking related to information around the bbq options and how that worked.   We were also not given menus and asked to you use the QR code system.   This is not helpful though if you have questions.   Some table have a kind of hot plate on them where you can cook your own food.   No information was offered around this.   We asked as the end so do now know but it would have been better at the start.

Bibimbap was very tasty and price wise is reasonable.   Gyozas extremely good too.

Will be back and recommended albeit I am a bit wiser on how it all works now.

We booked a table for today as it was out Leather wedding Anaversary (3rd).
This our first experience of Korean food in general and I'm happy our first time was here.

The food is lovely, the staff are amazing ❤️ the atmosphere is welcoming. We definitely over ordered but the husband was well happy lol.
It's a popular place so I would book in advance if you want to come.
We will come again and will recommend your restaurants to friends ☺️

YORI (Clapham)

Not really a big fan of Korean barbecues. When we fried the meat on the grills, it didn’t have any flavour. The rest of the food on the menu was nice. We went for a friends birthday. The staff were nice and they brought out the cakes with candles.

Amazing food and service was really good. The beef selection was one of the best I have had.

We also ordered a mix of chicken which also was flavourful and really tasty! Would definitely recommend going here for the price too.

Very delicious food. Nice restaurant. We very much enjoyed the food. The only down side is that it took us a little while to be seated (although we had a reservation), we had to ask 2/3x where the rest of our dishes were and they never came back to the table after serving us our food. However they were very busy. Having said that, I’d 100% go back again.

A big group of us went for a birthday, the service was very good. Staff were very attentive and accommodating. The food was good, although some of the meat lacks flavour if eaten alone. They provide you with sauces and garlic to season the meat. Ordering was quick and efficient as it is done through a QR code so you don’t have to wait for the waiters to come to your table.I would definitely go back

We ate everything and were so full that we skipped the next meal. We loved that they included banchan (side dishes), lettuce and rice in the BBQ selections. (We went to other restaurants and they usually made us order these separately). The meat was very good and well marinated. Everything else was also very tasty. We highly recommend trying the BBQ selections(but it may be a bit much for 2 if you are not a big eater) and the galbi dumplings. We were very surprised by how much everything cost. It was a good deal and the quality was excellent. Definitely coming back soon!

Chow Mein Noodles, Korean Fried Chicken, Loaded Fries, Homemade Sauces

Wok-Boy Bang Bang Chicken Camden Market

Very swift service, chicken was hot and delicious, noodles was okay. Staff were courteous. The packaging was attractive, and the stall has a long queue. Hence my interest in the brand. Experience was ok

The Bang Bang Chicken Chow Mein noodles with sweet chilli sauce was absolutely delicious! In addition, the Chicken is Halal and the people working at the food stall were really nice. The only con for this specific take out was that the food quantity was on the low side especially when comparing it to the customers who ordered before us.

Small stall in Camden Lock. Corean chicken very tasty. Good portion. Good price. Handy food container. Good for a quick Asian taste while in Camden

Dropped in for a quick lunch and wasn't disappointed. 2 Korean Chicken with sriracha, one with chips and one chow mein. Portion size was more than generous, food was freshly cooked and hot. Great value and highly recommended.

Amazing food. My life wouldn't have been fulfilled if I hadn't eaten this. Must must try place. It's just divine. I don't like chow mein so I went with the fries option.
Grab it and eat it with the canal view. It's a pure bliss.

YORI (King's Cross)

Just can’t get enough of the food we ordered in this restaurant. The cheesy tteokbokki was flavourful and just had the right spice and sweetness. The vegetable pajeon had the crisp and softness to it. The pork belly that arrived on our table looked really fresh, and tasted so delicious when grilled. Overall, it was just a satisfying experience. Side dishes were authentic. The staff are really nice and attentive, too. Definitely a place to come back again.

It was my first time having Korean BBQ and I honestly have to say it was the best meal ever! The staff was kind and attentive, the food was delivered quickly to our table and delicious! While the restaurant is small it only added to the experience of being personally attended to! I had the beef BBQ selection and once I come back, I will be having it again. This place is not to be missed! One thing I do recommend is that you book beforehand since this place could get very busy in the evenings and most especially at weekends.

A small Korean restaurant, cramped. I just imagine if the place was full how tight it would have been.
I was expecting a lot more atmosphere but a good time was had.

The food experience was good.
We ordered the Yori barbeque selection and the steak was sublime.

YORI King’s Cross was an lovely experience overall. It was very booked up, be sure to reserve in advance, yet the staff were kind and quick. Got the Yori Selection BBQ, I’d say some of the meat was lacking flavour and the portions for the price were less than anticipated, but the fresh lettuce and sides to make ssam made up for it. Wish the rice was included in the Selection but oh well! Would recommend overall :)

We really enjoyed the Korean BBQ, fried chicken, kimchi pancake and soup. Comfortable seating. Friendly service. I will definitely visit again.

KoKoDoo - Korean Fried Chicken (Shoreditch)

I had just stopped outside and was looking at the menu through the window, an employee came out to speak to us and told us about the food they served. The food was amazing, great portion sizes and reasonably priced.

Would highly recommend

Super takeaway lunch spot. Sweet n sour chicken with rice 👌 the wraps are good but small for the price, the other options are better value. Burger was great but could use a sauce for the chips .

amazing food & menu as accurate representation of what you order. very great customer service

Being a regular for years - it's truly heartbreaking to see the quality of food and portion sizes go down so much. Difference between regular and a large is quite a bit in price, yet a large gives you 90% rice and 10% chicken as it seems. Never thought I'll say this about this brand but PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THEM! Look at this! £10.95 for few pieces of chicken and huge portion of rice 🙃.

Amazing spot for some quality Korean fried chicken. I’m not too big into spice but the sticky soy and honey flavours are 10/10. The lady at the till is super friendly too. One of my colleagues are vegetarian and recommended their cauliflower dishes too if you are vegetarian.

Bun Boy - Korean Street Food Camden Market

I have tried the Korean Fried Tenders at Bun Boy Camden Market last week and I can honestly say the taste of the homemade sauce is the best I ever had

First smash burger I had in London and absolutely delicious! The patty was cooked to the perfection and was soft, juicy and filled with taste. The sauces and topping added to the flavours and overall experience. Highly recommend this place.

They gave us a piece of fried chicken to try, and instead of being crispy, was a bit chewy. Flavour wasn't bad but I think maybe the chicken had been done a while ago. So we decided to go for the Korean burger and fries and they were lovely! Loved the burger, I want to have it again!

While I was on holiday in London the best street food I ever had was at Bun Boy in Camden Market … I miss you Seoul burger sooooo much.
arrivederci until next time 🤌🏻👋🏻

Really nice burger, but meat was very thin. Nice people, went for the Korean burger but the wings and chips looks better than the burger

Korean Dinner Party

Great food and drinks, lovely staff. The small plates didn’t feel like they were great value for money, but the tacos were absolutely amazing! Went on a Saturday and it was completely full so make sure you book. Very noisy inside but a fun atmosphere. Would definitely come again!

Had a nice time in this place. It has a great vibe, quite dark and atmospheric. We got the tasting menu for £29: cheese-stuffed peppers, kimchi pancake and Korean fried chicken for starters, spicy stew and tacos for main, and a soft serve for dessert.

The food was great - obviously in a fusion vein, so be sure you’re looking for that. It was quite spicy, which I liked, but my friend found it a bit much.

Service was prompt, efficient and attentive.

Staff were overall friendly but at the time we were there everything seemed very chaotic and like the staff couldn't manage. We waited quite a long time to be served but once they took our orders after what seemed like ages it arrived quickly. The food was pretty and tasty but the menu was very limited and small. However overall definitely would come back and try other foods

Super fun spot for a boozy brunch! The food was super delicious. Grape and plum soju is so flavourful! It's situated in a great courtyard with a tonne of other eateries.

The bottomless brunch was delicious and fantastic value for money! 3 dishes and unlimited Prosecco with Soju! The food was really tasty and there was a lot of it. The staff were friendly letting us try the different flavours of soju - I will definitely be coming back here!

YORI (Covent Garden)

One of the best Korean cuisine restaurants I've had across London! Tried the stews, pancakes and fried chicken - came back twice while we were in London. Dishes were really well executed and its always crowded. Our server, Ella was really lovely - pleasant, nice, always smiling and very helpful. Thank you for your warm hospitality! Would recommend to my family and friends.

Absolutely fantastic Korean BBQ place. I went there as I used to live in Seoul for a bit and wanted to find a good Korean restaurant in London - I wasn’t disappointed, I really thought the dishes tasted like authentic Korean ones. The staff is on top of that extremely lovely, all are smiling and look like they’re happy to be there which really makes it a great experience. I strongly advise to try the Man Du, they were exactly how I remembered.

We arrived 20 mins early before going to a show and they managed to accommodate us. Ordered via the QR code and wanted to make sure we used the sizzling plate so ordered two BBQ meats and also the Korean chicken platter.

Absolutely amazing! Especially the garlic mayo chicken. The beef and pork belly was tasty. I'd definitely come back here again. Service was great too.

Lovely restaurant. Easy to book table online in advance. Friendly staff. Electronic ordering system which is very fast and efficient. The food quality is excellent. The dishes are served quickly and arrive piping hot. The restaurant is clean and there is adequate spacing between tables so that you don’t feel too cramped.

We had never visited YORI before. What we wanted was to experience Korean barbecue. My daughter has had this in Japan and wanted to share the experience with me.
It would have been helpful if someone had asked if we needed help with a fully electronic ordering system but nobody did. We noticed the QR code trapped to the table and scanned it. We proceeded to order the York platter, a mix of different meats, huge prawns and various mushrooms.
A pair of tongs and a pair of scissors were provided. Neither of us was sure what to do but we got stuck in. We were brought bowls of lettuce and various sauces as well as kimchee in bowls.
We had a long handled metal spoon each and a pair of metal chopsticks.
We are accustomed to wooden or bamboo chopsticks and found metal ones slippery and hard to use. I ended up using my fingers a lot.
The food was delicious of a bit disjointed as we worked out what to do.
Our impression was that this was a young, trendy place. In spite of the good food I don't think I will go there again.
My final disappointment was that we were one table away from the front door and every time the door was opened there was a blast of cold air.

3KOBROS Korean Restaurant, Takeaway & Delivery

Enjoyed our impromptu visit to this lovely Korean restaurant. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Their fried chicken was one of the best I've had, boneless thigh pieces that are tender and juicy with plenty of flavour. Impressed with their beef bulgolgi bimbimbap too. Reasonably priced and good quality overall, I would definitely recommend!

The food was okay but also nothing special.

A big minus from my side because the whole restaurant was rather dirty. Especially the floor, windows and the restrooms. Cleanliness and hygiene are very important to me regarding culinary experiences.

The dumplings were deep fried, and I especially liked the ones with chicken.

The bibimbap was unimpressive, but ok.

All in all the restaurant is a good choice if you look for something nearby, but there are definitely better Korean restaurants in London.

Fantastic food and a good selection of Korean drinks. I would honestly recommend this place to anyone. My favourite starter were the octopus balls the chef has done a great job at a small but tasty menu. The only points of improvement are the service itself which can be quite slow but the taste of the food more than makes up for this. 4.5/5

Without a doubt, the BEST Korean fried chicken I have ever had. And I’ve eaten a lot of fried chicken in my life!
I make it a point to take visiting friends to eat at 3KOBROS because the quality of food and the warm friendly service makes this an unmissable place - and they never disappoint! I feel so lucky to have this amazing restaurant in the neighbourhood. The seafood pajeon, yukhoe, LA galbi and japchae are also some of my favourite dishes.

I heard of 3KOBROS when working at Canary Wharf, yet I have not got a chance to try until today.

The restaurant is exquisite and intimate, quite suitable for family and friends. The staff are very nice and always wearing smiles. 🌷

Today I tried a Bibimbap and it's super yummy ! 👍I also tried a Korean cunch drink with grapes - 🍇 a good choice for the hot summer  weather.

I did not take photos of the whole menu yet I certainly would like to visit 3KOBROS again. 😊 👀

All our chicken dishes are Halal. We only use Halal chicken meat. Our beef Bulgogi meat is Halal as well.

Fantastic Korean barbecue experience, probably one of the best I’ve had in London. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our dinner, cooking the meat to perfection! We ordered the Beef BBQ platter and the tofu and seafood stew and both had incredibly deep flavours! Will definitely have to come back some time soon!

Amazing halal korean BBQ! Everything from the beef to side dishes were of top quality and truly authentic. We received a wonderful service from the staff and the owner. The non-alcoholic pomegranate sparkling drink was lovely as well. Cannot wait to revisit!

SPECIAL FOOD!! The food was varied and delicious, and the staffs were very friendly. They have a great variety of Korean food that is hard to eat in London, so it felt like I was eating something special and I was giving myself a gift after eating.

Highly recommended if you want to try special Korean food.💯

ERICA IS THE BESTEST WAITRESS EVER!

This place had such an amazing atmosphere. From the seafood soup to the K BBQ, this is hands down the best Korean restaurant in London.

Perfect for a date night, a night out with friends, or a soul warming after party food pick up.

Highly recommendable restaurant for Korean bbq at the heart of Angel and Islington. Very authentic yet amazingly adaptable taste! You must try it. One of the best Korean cuisines in London.

Almost everything on our menu is Halal. Ask staff for details when you visit.

Great place, it's not too common to find such a nice Korean restaurant in this area.
You should call and book in advance, as the first time we tried to come it was full for the entire evening!

I highly recommend the soups, very tasty and great value

One of the best Korean restaurants I have been to! Food is simply delicious and I love the variety. Definitely try the snow cheese fried chicken and the ddukbegi bulgogi is my favourite dish. My husband loved the skewers and couldn't get enough of the side dishes. Was an amazing meal for a special occasion. Service was polite efficient and warm. Can't wait to visit again! Highly recommended, you won't regret it

Came here for a large gathering with friends of 15 ppl and had 2 back tables booked for lunch. Wanted to visit here as I saw a picture of Jay Park dining here after he came to London for a festival. After looking at their social media and menu, they recently opened and had quite a large variety of foods to accommodate everyone which seemed really good! BBQ, Skewers, KFC, bibimbap, quite a large selection! We ordered a bit of everything and everything had enjoyed their food! I would definitely come here again!!  The BBQ was really nice, along with the cheesy tteokbokki - this was cooked to perfection! Thank you to the staff for serving a large group of us!

Delicious! We had:
1. Half half fried chicken (original & sweet soy)
2. Seafood pancake
3. Deoubokki (rice cake)
4. The oxtail soup is especially good ⭐️ 😋
5. Skewer on table - quite fun, taste is okay

good value for money too, we spent £18 per person.

We had a takeaway tonight - Gamjatang (pork stew) & Tangsuyuk (deep fried pork) - and it was absolutely delicious! They tasted so authentic. I wish portions were a little bigger but maybe I am being greedy as it was so yummy. The whole experience was very pleasant too - friendly and quick service and reasonable price. I am so happy to have this little Korean restaurant on my street. I'll definitely try all other dishes! 😋♥️

Our Chicken dishes, lamb skewers and beef bulgogi in specific are halal.

Korean restaurant serving rice bowls and hot pot

Assa

Came as a group of 7. The chicken and beef are halal here so we ordered a variety of dishes. Every dish was amazing. Honestly one of the best Korean restaurant I have been to in terms of quality of food and flavour.

The restaurant doesn't allow bookings so you will have to walk in, if you are going as a group, I would suggest picking a time during off peak hours otherwise you will find yourself lining up outside because it is very busy.

Regarding staff they were very polite, I do feel there was some mistakes done which could have been better but overall it was ok.

Pricing wise the restaurant was reasonable.

Would I go here again, yes I will and try out some of the other dishes.

A feast!

So many great options on the menu and I want to try them all! Everything is so delicious and flavourful. The specialty is their hot pots but there are plenty of other options (many of which are vegetarian).

We weren’t able to reserve a table in advance so I would recommend going early to get ahead of the queues and best to go with plenty of time.

Great experience of Korean food for the first time. The hot pot was great but the star of the show was the spring onion pancake which was delicious! The peach soju also tasted great and the free cold green tea was good! The only detracting point was that the menu comprised of a couple of bits of dirty paper on a clip board. Some of the food also arrived like warm as well. It’s best to get there early because the queues can get quite large.

Dress code: casual
Cost: ££
Food: Good
Service: Fast
Ambience: Loud and lively

Nice but not amazing, and not particularly cheap for what you get.
If you dine alone (no hotpots: they serve min. 2), it’s box standard rice / noodle dishes, or several larger starters / dishes, making it a bit too much and an expensive meal for really simple cooking.
Service is all about turn over; don’t expect much. Had to really fight to get someone’s advice on what to order which might be more interesting. The lighting for the whole room is white LED strips - so don’t go there for the mood either.

The hot pot was delicious. Fish cake, sweets potato noodles and rice cake with a spicy sauce were very nice. The fried chicken with soy tasted so chickeny, but the sauce was very nice. Fried kimchi was tasty. We had a dish of rice served with beef, vegetables and raw egg yolk which was very delicious. White peach juice was fine. The waitresses were nice, but the waiter was not. We asked for a table of 4 and he refused for us to be seated until the 4 of us be there at the same time, so he asked us to wait outside. Also he didn’t gave us a receipt, he was counting manually on a piece of paper which was weird in this era.
Prices are medium-high.

Chick and Beers (Burlington Road)

After having fried chicken in Korea, could not find an authentic place in London. This place is the best I've had so far! Simply delicious 😋😍

The best Korean Fried Chicken I’ve ever had! Hands down the best in the country! Always fried perfectly and never a let down! Whenever I’m craving for some Korean Fried Chicken I would come to this place. Recommended flavours are the signature and sweet chilli! Very juicy inside, coated with a crispy coating, just perfect! Reasonable prices also and good customer service. Keep it up guys! Highly recommended if you want to have the best Korean Fried Chicken!

As long as the meat is tender with the right sauce/seasoning, I think good fried chicken can either have a drier/crunchier coating, or be so oily it’s literally dripping down your fingers with each bite. This is definitely the latter—loooots of crispy oily bits on the outside, and very moist and tender meat on the inside. I probably had my month’s quota for oil eating half a box! It says it’s for two to share, but my partner and I can eat well and even we were stuffed by the end.

Takes about half an hour or longer to get your food, but it’s well worth the wait and comes piping hot right out of the fryer. The beer on tap is refreshingly ice cold, and a good pairing for the chicken. Definitely worth coming back again!

Best fried chicken in the U.K! (That's saying a lot as I've had my fair share of fried chicken). This was my first time visiting and I really enjoyed myself. The food was extremely tasty and the front-of-house waiter was very friendly too, he made us feel very welcome. I'm definitely visiting again soon.

Without any exaggeration I must say that the wings here are probably the BEST we have had in a long long long time! The wings were freshly cooked so they were literally pipping hot when they arrived! Crispy, flavoursome and a very good size!!! Pleasantly surprised 🤩🤩 Service was also great, will definitely be returning!!!🥳🥳 X 2 portion of 6 wings, one plain one soya garlic glaze, Cajun fries and  sweet potato fries. Total £25 roughly.

We serve only 100% halal, wings, breast, chicken all 100% halal.
You can come and have a look at the mark Halal on our delivered chicken boxes.

Chick and Beers (Coombe Road)

Amazing Korean fried chicken. Came here on a weekday lunch and the food here was reasonably priced(£7-8 per dish) and the food was cooked to perfection. Super crispy and freshly fried, presentation and portion was good. All you want in a Korean fried chicken shop. Must try!!

Amazing Korean Fried Chicken, ordered the half and half, one normal and one spicy it was so crispy and well seasoned. What fried chicken should be like! All the sides were tasty aswell, all washed down with a few bottles of Soju. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Highly recommend 👌 look forward to coming back. A*

The best KFC!! Honestly get cravings to keep coming back to this place. Sometimes the wait can be a bit long during busy periods but it’s worth the wait. I pretty much always order the chicken wings which are so crispy and also large! Can’t fault the food. Both this branch and the Burlington Road branch offer the same level of food. See you soon!

The best Korean fried chicken I've ever had! Had the half and half - plain and spicy glazed. The coating was so crispy. Also had the mozzarella sticks, cajun fries and spam fries which arrived in an adorable re-used spam can. All delicious. They were out of the plum soju and Cass so we had the peach and Asahi instead. Lovely atmosphere and friendly helpful staff. Can't wait to go back and try the garlic soy next time.

We went yesterday just before the dinner rush. Service was lovely by the girl who served us. The spam fries is one of a kind… we only ordered the 6 pieces of fried chicken wings which came out large as we were told accompanied with a bottle of soju and coleslaw. Everything was so tasty… the only fallback was having to wait almost 30 minutes for our fried chicken. Still, hands down the best KFC in all London for me 🥰🥰🥰

@bentobablondon has been one of our go to spots, with the fluffiest bao buns and tastiest katsu curry. However, this time round the chicken katsu bibimbab was quite dry with little katsu sauce, which was disappointing as it is usually delicious. The bao buns were perfect as usual, especially the sweet chilli chicken ! The customer service was amazing, with staff making us feel very welcome. We’re sure this was just a one off and we look forward to visiting again ! 

Overall, if you have a craving for Korean, Bento Bab is definitely a place worth visiting !

@cravinghalal's review of Bento Bab Aldgate on Instagram

Bento Bab korean bbq restaurant

Great food. Recommend booking in advance as it's quite popular. 30 seconds from Aldgate East Station. The BBQ was maintained by the staff who were very friendly and knew their menu well. Flavours and colours are fantastic. Will definitely go again. Chicken, Lamb and Beef are halal. BBQ is cooked on a grill plate with disposable sleeve to avoid contamination.

Lovely Korean cuisine, an overall enjoyable experience with calm yet busy vibes and decent service; just wish the service was more alert and that we didn't have to call/wait so much when needed. Food was amazing, halal chicken and beef (ask again to make sure), thoroughly enjoyed the different flavours - also, the plum tea is out of this world. So good!

Food was very good and tasty....never been to Korean BBQ.  When you see Korean people cooking the food and are customers too always a good sign of quality...portion size excellent...a lot of choice...good selection of Korean beers. Staff friendly and knowledgeable quick service....lovely place for group or a couple. AAP on the tables so you can order direct too.

Pretty good Korean food. Menu highlighted halal options and the staff were very friendly, unfortunately it was quite busy (to be fair it was Friday). Highly recommend the Korean Fried Chicken, and prawn dumplings.

Awesome food.  Kimchi is fantastic!!!  Come here for this. I had the bibimbap with chicken and extra spicy and it was tasty.  Dumplings were very tasty.  Kimchi fries were very good.

Our halal options are clearly labelled. Pork is served but prepared and cooked separately.

Arang Restaurant

Amazing food - spicy, juicy, authentic and some meat is halal. Food is just perfect here and I would 100% return. Service was kind and welcoming and although maybe more could have been done sooner to sit us down, eventually they did find us a BBQ table and the staff were very helpful and kind, making for a great evening.

We had absolute amazing experience. Great food, very lovely staff with attentive service. All dishes we tried were incredible. 10/10 would come back and recommend. Special thanks to our lovely server Shamin! ❤️

First time eating at a Korean restaurant. Me and my partner really loved all the food we order! Staff were very friendly and helpful even though our questions on the food (as said was our first Korean). Definitely will go back if in London again!

Arang had amazing service and provided delicious food. The food was delivered to the table quickly and staff would always check to see if anyone needed help with their BBQ and would help immediately. Overall, a great restaurant to eat at for Korean food.

The food was delicious and the price was decent. All the food we ordered were nice, the fried chicken wings with Korean sourced, spicy octopus,seafood pancakes, tofu and sausage soup with noodle and cheese, bibimbap etc. the restaurant was very busy, better to make appointments before you go.

Most of our chicken dishes are Halal, please ask a member of staff if you are unsure. We also have Halal beef options in a separate "Halal BBQ" section in our menu. Alcohol and pork are served.

WingWing Krispy Chicken

Food was surprisingly good so worth the price but the chicken drumstick 😓it’s like those packet of crisps. It’s just air and breading but it’s bursting with flavours would recommend it. Oh make sure to wait downstairs because they won’t text you when your food is ready. We thought we would get a messaged from our phone since they asked for phone number in the kiosk 😂. Toilet is cleaned too. Definitely worth the visit.

My absolute favourite Korean style chicken wings! It's not drenched in sauce, the batter is perfect and crispy (even after 2 days in the fridge!), I always go for the spicy!
And the battered green beans *drool*! I love u Wing Wing.
Lunch deal is good value. Great hangout on the second floor overlooking the busy street.

Friendly service, but you can also self serve which is great and have a variety of flavours. The wait is roughly 10mins + and you're given a buzzer to collect your order whether eating in or taking away. The chicken comes out hot (fresh to order) and crunchy and are quite tasty. The wings are bigger than average but I wouldn't say they're life changing however, if you want something tasty and satisfying wing wing is a good shout.

5 stars for the food. HANDS DOWN the BEST halal Chicken burgers in the UK. The service and everything else leaves much to be desired though.

I ordered at 13:00 on a Saturday and they only had 1 person serving, despite the busy time and location of the shop. The food tables also needed cleaning up.

They're clearly understaffed here, but MY GOD is the food worth it!

We bought two mixed chicken boxes to celebrate for the end of year but one of the boxes didn’t have any paper underneath the chicken and we ordered extra hot but there wasn’t any sauce and they were all dry. They all stuck towards the bottom of the box and I was really disappointed. The first time we had a lot of sauce and it was good so this was our second time buying. We bought two expecting it to be as good as the previous one but it wasn’t. I never write reviews but today is the first time as I am very disappointed.

Korean BBQ and Vegan

Excellent, quick service, massive portions and tasty food, so not much about which one can complain. It is very rare to find a restaurant that caters to both non-vegetarians and vegans with decent choices, so top marks to whomever conceived the idea.

A word of warning - do NOT come without a reservation unless you are prepared to wait. The restaurant is very open and honest about this, so no points lost, but should be kept in mind in case you are in a hurry.

This is a lovely quaint restaurant tucked away near the Barbican which is super popular. The atmosphere is wonderful, very chilled,  the service is really good and the staff are polite and attentive. I was impressed with the speed of food coming out of the kitchen and it was freshly cooked. I really wanted to rate this place higher but the food just lacked that "delicious" factor and there was nothing specially notable or something that I would want to go back for, perhaps some starters. I did go with the staffs recommendations.

I was very excited to come here with my friends who are muslim. This is a unique place with halal meat served in Korean cuisine. BUT THERE IS NO TABLE KOREAN BBQ which is very misleading despite the the name of the restaurant. The meat was a bit too oily and the rest of the food is good such as the Korean fried chicken/ Kim chi/ cheese spicy friend chicken.

We came for a visit to celebrate my daughter's 18th birthday and had an amazing time.

Having been a massive Kdrama fan for years she was itching to try the dishes she'd seen in her favourite shows and we were not disappointed.  Everything was absolutely delicious and the only disappointment was we didn't have enough room to try more dishes.

Overall very busy so can't be a bad place. Great the fact that it had a good vegan range and all dishes are halal.
Food was ok. Was recommended by my sister but she said that the food was off today and normally alot better. So I'll give them a chance again.

📝About two months ago the Spicy Marinated Chicken was called “BBQ Chicken” and had a different taste. I preferred the way it tasted before, doesn’t mean that its bad now, but just not as good as it previously was. The staff are nice and cool.

Authentic nice Korean food and people. Service is great. Surprisingly spacious inside. Most of the food are very nice. The vegetable soup is quite a bit salty and not much vegetables (not a big fan of mushroom roots)in it.
