YORI Korean BBQ Restaurant (King's Cross)

I've been to 3 different Yori's now and this is by far my favourite one. The food quality seems to be so much better here, I really enjoyed it more than in the other Yori's especially the fried chicken and bbq. There is also more seating here and a bit more spacious than the other Yori's in London. Last but not least Dave who served us was very attentive, friendly and professional. Highly recommend coming to this Yori if you need your fix of korean cuisine.

Overall I would not go there again. Yori barbecue selection was fine to share for 2 people and it came with some small garnishes (3 types: onions, cucumber and radish), as well as some salad. It did not even come with rice or any sauces. Most of the meat was not marinated and the quality of the meat was basic, so it was chewy and did not have any special taste. They loaded the meat selection with cheap chicken but only put two shrimps. The place itself was not very clean - the chairs were sticky, and the table was stainy. The pot you cook on of course emits a lot of small droplets and smell and by the end of the evening you clothes will completely soak the smell. That could potentially be a nicer experience with the real charcoal but they only have electric pot. The staff were nice

We had a lovely evening here although the seats were a little cramped with boxes stored underneath. Service was pretty good but a little more attention to detail would be welcomed.
Our children love cooking the food while my wife and I drink wine and wait to be fed. A great experience and loads of fun.

Ordered the galbitang, pork and squid stir fry and japchae. Service was ok, attentive and polite. Food was mediocre, galbitang tasted like pepper soup with minimal beef taste. Pork and squid was oily, but tasted alright. Japchae was decent. For the prices paid, I'd expect banchan and tap water but received none of those. Atmosphere was bright but tables and chairs were greasy.

Went here with my boyfriend to give him his first Korean BBQ experience, but honestly, it was a bit disappointing. The meat was sliced way too thin, the portions felt small, and the bulgogi sauce just didn’t hit the mark—it lacked proper marination and flavor.

We went on a Saturday night and the place was surprisingly empty, so we got a table right away. The staff were really nice and friendly, which was a plus.

Maybe other dishes on the menu are better—I’ve seen some positive reviews—but based on the BBQ alone, I wouldn’t recommend it. I’d rather pay a bit more for a place that delivers a fuller, more satisfying KBBQ experience.
