I saw the chalkboard from a far on my way back home, I wondered what was written. It said Korean BBQ for lunch! I was so thrilled when I read this. I went straight inside and buzz through the menu which I could barely understand. Thankfully the waiter gave me a couple of recommendations for my budget. (20pounds)Few moments later after I got my drinks, I was surprised once again with the huge amount of food and the SMELL. I still can remember that flavoursome sizzling sound. Unforgettable experience!
First of all, I am a huge Korean food fan and I can even speak it a little.I was surprised by how many korean restaurants in London there were when I visited. But most of them are either too noisy or dirty. The food quality varied from restaurant to restaurant. However, among them what stood out the most was Biwon Korean restaurant.I have a vast range of experience in food tasting. I actually do it for my career, but I dont usually write reviews.Biwon has an subtle interior that suits in well with their name. they have been running for over 12 years which is outstanding. I wish I could of come here 10 years ago to taste their quality. Anyways, the food was immaculate, not so much sugar nor msg, beautiful amount of food for 1 person portion and an outstanding waiters.Anyone should try this if you want to taste proper Korean food.
Good food. Authentic and good price too. Rice cake is spicy enough. The boiled pork is one of the best in London. The rice wine is typical and usually imported from Korea.
Fizzy kimchi, and Korean desserts. Amazing very intimate loved it here.
Lovely real proper non-chain restaurant, with real inimitable Korean flavours, owned by lovely people who dish out fantastic food with a good service. This is proper London street food!
Don’t Eat Here. This is a tourist trap, a total ripoff. Korean meals are supposed to be hearty and served with lots of tasty side dishes. This place provides meagre servings, no side dishes, surly service. I went with a non-Korean friend for dinner last night and paid 50 pounds for watery soup, 8 little pieces of bacon, 6 prawns and two drinks. Six lettuce leaves cost an additional 4 pounds and a couple of garlic cloves an additional 3 pounds. Interestingly, the portions were larger and side dishes were served when I went to Bi Won with Korean friends several weeks ago. This place is a ripoff. I speak Korean fluently and understood what the waitresses were saying in their North Korean dialects. I told them they had been rude and refused to pay the service charge they’d arbitrarily added to the bill. I also asked them to tell the owners they should be ashamed of themselves for such poor quality, high prices, and shoddy service. Like most ethnic restaurants in tourist areas, this one seems to be counting on a steady supply of one-off visitors, never to be seen again after being fleeced.
Good value and tasty!. I am a recent convert to the joys of Korean food and really enjoyed the lunch I had here yesterday. The barbecue set lunch options offer excellent value for money as you get a sizzling plate of meat with bean sprouts, kimchi, rice and miso soup for less than 9. The Bi-won version of Kimchi (pickled Korean spicy vegetables) was quite tame. I have heard that each restaurant does their own version of this so maybe I’m just used to a spicier version. We chose barbecue pork and sliced beef from the lunch menu. The pork sizzled delightfully as it arrived at our table. The menu promised that this dish came with a spicy kick but in my opinion it could have been cranked up a couple of notches for my palate but it was very tasty. Looks were definitely deceiving as far as the sliced beef was concerned; it seemed limp and lifeless on the hot plate but it tasted lovely and was delightfully sweet with what my girlfriend thought was a hint of pear. The service was great; they didn’t even bat an eyelid when I asked to be guided through the rules of engagement with Korean food. Apparently the rice is your base and you balance the spice of the kimchi with the softer flavour of the sprouts and finish with your meat.. I’m a big fan of Dotori in Finsbury Park and now I’m very happy to have an alternative when in town.
