    My favourite restaurant in London! Amazing selection of Korean and Japanese cuisine. Staff really organised and friendly. Unfortunately due to a small space it's quite difficult to book a table

    Excellent combination of Korean and Japanese food. Meals for two people, with lots of food, from just 26 £. Raw beef bibimbap it's just delicious! Book in advance! It's a tiny crowded place.

    I thought their Korean dishes were much better than Japanese, but overall VERY GOOD:) Highly recommend. I loved Buchu Jeon, Oi Kimchi, and Nasu Dengaku:)

    A busy little restaurant but the wait is worth it. The set meal A (mixed Korean and Japanese) provides lots of food for 2. The tofu is also delicious. I recommend it!

    Good quality and surprisingly lots of it, considering paid £20 per person including a beer.. Recommend the set meal (B or C). Need to book in advance. Can't wait to return!!

    The raw beef dolsot bibimbap was the best be had in London! The kimchee pancake was another winner! Make sure you book a table or you'll miss out!

    Its one of the best korean restaurants in london! It is always busy so 20-30 minutes waiting is a common thing during peak dinner times!

    The best Japanese and Korean food you will find in London. Be sure to book ahead! Takeaway available if you can't get a seat. Collection only.

    If you don't know what you're doing, I advise choosing the Korean 'D' (I think) menu for 2. Also, the sake drink is interestingly strong...Dotori is my new local favourite!

    The bulgogi is really good, the donburi is also amazing but i was not impressed by the stew pot which was more watery than i thought! Also the pancakes are nice but i ve had better!!

    Possibly the best Korean in London. Very well priced. The tempura prawns and beef bulgogi are always a winning choice.

    Finally, a traditional bulgogui. The food in general was great and it is not expensive! I will definitely return to this place.

    Excellent food and service, but the very small restaurant is way too full, because people also pick up ordered food, so it's a coming and going all the time...

    Vegetarian bento box. Oh. My. Lord. I want to marry the chef RIGHT NOW, it is THAT good. Jesus, the tofu… please just take my money, take it, TAKE IT!!!

    Absolutely agree: try the Korean set menu A with the raw beef bibimbap. Easily filled and delighted the pair of us. Great little place.

    I probably did not know what Korean food tasted before I came to this restaurant: tasteful dishes and tapas in a modernly decorated setting.

    The seafood Yaki Soba takes ages to make and you will get only 2 pieces of squid, 2 mussels and 5 prawns.

    The raw beef bibambap is heavenly, esp with the hot pepper sauce- not too spicy, just enough kick!
