Yori Cambridge

Execution is uneven and misses several fundamentals that diners should expect from a proper Korean meal. • Banchan (side dishes): Only three small dishes were offered. No refills. A typical Korean restaurant would serve at least five to seven varieties, refreshed upon request. • Kimchi: Surprisingly, kimchi was not included as part of the banchan. Instead, it cost £3.50 extra. For a Korean restaurant, this is nearly unthinkable. To add to the disappointment, the kimchi’s flavor was flat and lacked the depth of proper fermentation. • Bibimbap: Took a long time to prepare. Served room temperature, not hot. In an authentic dolsot (stone bowl) bibimbap, the rice should sizzle against the bowl and form a crisp golden crust. • Mushrooms in bibimbap: Tasted and looked like canned mushrooms—cold, lifeless, and out of place in a dish that should celebrate freshness. • After effects: Overall food quality was poor, and the meal left us with bloating afterwards. Suggestions • Banchan should be expanded (at least 5–7 dishes) and refilled without charge. • Kimchi must be included, and its quality improved. If charged separately, it should be excellent—not disappointing. • Bibimbap must arrive sizzling in the bowl. Otherwise, it loses its signature character. • Avoid canned or cold components in key dishes. 1.5/5

Not recommended. Worst korean meal ive ever had. Plain and average Bibimbap was okay. Bulgogi was meh. Definitely a chain restaurant and not authentic. Kimchi pancake was trash. Hardly any kimchi in it! There was like 4 tiny pieces. It was mostly flour.

I had a bibimbap craving and decided to call in at Yori to give them a go. All in all, it was pretty good! Felt extremely great value for what I was served. Had all the right flavours. Would happily call in again and try other menu items
