Korean

19 St Alban's Pl, London N1 0NX

From the same owner as Korean street food spot Bento Bab in Aldgate, the spot tucked off Islington Green is all about Korean BBQ.

3 Stroud Green Rd, London N4 2DQ

This much-beloved Finsbury Park spot serves up a menu of Korean and Japanese favourites so you’ll find bulgogi alongside sashimi and kimchi along with nasu dengaku. The set menus are a particular steal for food of this quality. Take note - it’s cash only.

8 Melior St, Bermondsey, London SE1 3QP

Sollip is from husband and wife team Woongchul Park (formerly at The Ledbury and Koffman's) and Bomee Ki (former pastry chef at The Arts Club). They're marrying the team's European cooking style with Korean influences in a fine-dining, paired back approach.

10 Chapel Market, London N1 9EZ

Tucked away down Chapel Market this Korean 'tapas' joint is owned by top Korean mixologist Taeyeol Kim, so the cocktails are as good as the food. The menu covers everthing from Korean fried chicken through to kimchi pancakes and tteok.bokki - rice cake stew. Look out for Friday regional Korean specials.

Top Floor Kingly Court, Carnaby St, London W1B 5PW

This Korean restaurant is in a prime space at the top of Kingly Court and features a menu from the people behind TA TA Eatery - so you already know you're in for something special. Aiming for an LA Koreatown vibe, the corndogs are top-notch and their kimchi stone pot is showstopping.

26 Romilly St, London W1D 5AJ

This Korean pub is all decked out in retro 70s style, with food including Makchang BBQ and Hongdae chicken as well as kimchi jeon, bo ssam and tteok bok ki rice cakes - alongside plenty of highballs to drink.

62 Charing Cross Road, London WC2H 0BU

Bunsik specialises in Korean Street Food - namely corn dogs, cupbap (rice in a pot with toppings) and Ddukbokki (fried rice cakes) - and those corn dogs have become hugely popular in London.

11 Rathbone St, Fitzrovia, London W1T 1NA

Here at Koba it's all about DIY - so the focus is on Korean tableside barbecuing but there are also hotpots, bibimbab and kimchi on the menu as well.

1 Monmouth Street, London WC2H 9DA

Sweet soy fried chicken, barbecue chicken, chicken noodle soup… Linda Lee (who is also behind On The Bab) is behind this Korean restaurant, based in Covent Garden and all about the poultry.

London Mertopole Hotel, 23rd Floor, 225 Edgware Road, London W2 1JU

This sees Bjorn Van Der Horst (Eastside Inn) and Omar Romero (Rhodes Twenty Four, Rosewood) taking over the dining room on the 23rd floor of the Hilton Metropole. Expect a modernist Japanese pub with food to match. Plus Kirin beer K-slurpys and clay barrel aged cocktails served on airline trolleys.

Monday – Saturday 11:30 – 23:00

On the Bab - which translates as served 'on the rice' - is East London's first anju restaurant (which according to Wikipedia is the traditional Korean cuisine of consuming food with alcohol, so it's got our vote) offering Korean sharing dishes - and a rather lethal-sounding cocktail list. The 30 seater restaurant won't take reservations and will be open every day for lunch and dinner.

68 Rivington Street, London EC2A 3AY

Jubo has opened at the Bedroom Bar in Shoreditch, specialising in crunchy Korean fried chicken wings and strips- coated in either soy garlic or hot sauce.
