An ex-Nobu chef elevates a neighborhood bistro with a menu that balances tabletop BBQ with refined, technical takes on Korean comfort food.
Ordering Strategy
Designed for sharing; order the fried chicken to start before firing up the tabletop BBQ. Check the corkage policy as BYOB is often available on weeknights.
What to order
Mandu
Critics assert that 'no visit is complete' without these steamed pork and glass noodle dumplings, describing them as the 'delicious stars of the dish' despite their simple European sidekicks.
Slow-cooked Pork Belly
A 'firm favourite' described as 'one of the best preparations of pork' in London, this dish is served in a Korean 'BBQ jus' and is praised for being perfectly slow-cooked using locally sourced ingredients.
Kimchee Arancini
A standout fusion favorite that 'swaps the traditional filling' of risotto for kimchee flavoured rice and mozzarella, served with a punchy gochujang dressing.
Miso Brownies
An unexpected success for those who 'prefer chocolatey desserts,' this dish captures the restaurant's fusion ethos and is a recommended finish to a meal of 'heartwarming food'.

Good to know
The chef previously worked at Nobu and Hélène Darroze. While it formerly served European fusion, the menu has pivoted to more authentic Korean flavors. BYOB is available on certain nights (usually excluding Fri/Sat).
