Korean food in Korean Town－ Jin Go Gae

Dear Jin Go Gae,

This is my third time visiting and not once have you failed me- Good quality of food, good portions. I always think of you when I crave authentic Korean food, even if you are an hour drive away from me!

Staff: 
Your staff are not the most friendly type. I have seen customers being scolded at when the restaurant is busy. However, service has always been quick and efficient, and I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation on K-drama with one of your staff!

Food: 
No doubt one of the BEST Korean restaurants in London. From the complimentary kimchi selection to the brewed barley tea, you definitely try hard to bring customers a taste of the real Korea. My all time favourite has to be the "육회 Yuk Whe" (raw beef and pear salad, see below), which is no longer available in most Korean restaurants in London due to new hygiene regulations!

Value: 
For the same price that you pay in central London, you get double the portion in Jin Go Gae. This restaurant is definitely valuable considering the size and quality of food it offers.

Complimentary selection of kimchi (pickles) including traditional cabbage, bean sprouts and cucumber in sesame oil, sweet green cabbage and radish

(New)진고개 순대 Sundae RRP £12

This is a new dish introduced by Jin Go Gae. You can also order the soup form. Homemade sausages stuffed with sticky rice and other ingredients, this dish has very strong flavours and is very filling. Ideal for sharing.

EDITOR's FAVOURITE: I am a massive fan of raw meat and fish. I think it is one of best way to eat FRESH food. This beef salad is marinated in sesame oil. You mix in a fresh egg yolk before mixing the the beef with fresh  pear. The pear juice and the beef is one of the best combination ever! I am so happy to finally be able to eat this!

EDITOR's FAVOURITE: This is the marinated sweet version of beef rib. If you like Teriyaki sauce (the Japanese version), you will definitely like this one. And it's cheap!

Remember to drop by the Korean supermarket to get some  snacks and FRESH HOMEMADE KIMCHI!!
