Where To Eat Korean Food In London

A refreshing and innovative fusion of Korean and Mexican cuisine, Kimchinary is the brainchild of Hanna Söderlund who wanted to create a street-food-style dish based around Korean samgyeopsal – grilled pork belly with ssamjang wrapped in lettuce with kimchi and pickled sides. She says that eventually, through much experimentation, samgyeopsal turned into Korean tacos and burritos, which she now sells from her bright red 1974 milk float. Her food is available at various food markets, and her services are also available for hire for private events and parties. Follow Kimchinary’s whereabouts via Twitter.

With two restaurants in the heart of London, Bibigo specializes in authentic cuisine with a contemporary twist. Their specials include Korea’s famous grill barbecue, Bibimbap bowls of rice, vegetables and tofu or meat, and spicy Ramyun noodle bowls. They even offer innovative Korean cocktails that are all soju based, as well as wines and non-alcoholic drinks including iced tea. Their food is truly an art-form, and you simply cannot visit without ordering the Bibigo goldfish, a goldfish-shaped Korean waffle filled with red bean cream and vanilla ice cream.
