Halal Reviews for Assa Soho

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.
