Bari Bari

We just had a take out lunch and the food was good with the lunch menu price.
Ordered L2, L15 and L17.  Squid dish quite spicy but taste really good. The beef rib soup was nice too.
The reason we gave 3 stars due to missing “side dishes” that’s should come with L15 & 17. Also the staff working there was not friendly at all.

They are real Korean and food was okay, maybe that’s why there’s a queue and full house all the time.

I want to make clear that we did not have BBQ, so this review regards other food.
The reason for the 3 stars is due to: price and quality of food and service.
Although it was a bit busy (I've seen busier places with a better service), I find the delay in serving drinks and food not justifiable.
About the food, we had the Korean pancake which I consider a classic and it was a disappointment. The texture was quite springy (I like the pancake more crunchy) and it lacked flavour, but it might depend on your own taste. The tofu seafood stew was good as well as the noodles, but I was not impressed. So, basically they were average.
What we paid so not worth the price we paid. There are other places in central (Soho and Tottenham) cheaper and tastier!
Again, the BBQ might be different.

One of my favourite restaurants! Food was really hot and came within 10-15 minutes. All chicken and beef is halal and cooked separately. Very high quality and lovely staff. Would definitely go again!! Food in pictures: tteoboki, chicken with rice, chicken dumplings, Korean fried chicken, tofu soup, more Korean fried chicken and jajangmyeon. The Korean fried chicken was the crunchiest chicken I have EVER tasted and the sauce was delicious

I really enjoyed this venue.

I do like Korean food but this was the first time that I tried the table-top BBQ.

Only gripe was the kimchi, it appeared to be picked but not fermented, it was tasty though.

The meat portions for the BBQ were very generous. I would say that a single portion was enough for two people.

The staff are attentive, polite and accomodating.

I will definitely dine here again.

Although it was fully booked they made space for us especially with us having 2 pushchairs, the service was lovely. At first our food came quick and when we ordered again it did come slower but that was bound to happen due to them being busy. Overall great food and lovely staff :)

We serve Halal, ask a member of staff for details. Pork and Alcohol are also served.
