Bimbimbap- Fast, Cheap, tasty, to-go

Mini Fact: Bibimbap a signature Korean dish, "mixed rice". It is served in a hot stone bowl (or not) with rice topped with sautéed and seasoned vegetables and chili pepper paste, soy sauce. A raw or fried egg and sliced meat (usually beef) are common additions. The ingredients are stirred together thoroughly just before eating.

The Restaurant
Quick, cheap, yummy, reasonably cosy seats- This place is very ideal if you are in a rush or just looking for a quick bite. This branch located in Charlotte street, within walking distance from Goodge St station, is relatively new. Another branch locates in Soho.

Super cute Polaroid prints as wall decorations.

Fillet BeefStrips of raw seasoned beef fillet that cooks once mixed in the stone bowl RRP £9.95


Fried Egg option
AFTER TASTING THOUGHTS: I thought this tasted quite good and the price was decent. Portion is enough to fill you up. If you are on a budget but still want something good. This is a good place to go to.
The restaurant also offers other toppings including mixed seafood, spicy pork, chili chicken etc.
Chicken NoodleMarinated chicken with noodle and vegetables RRP £6.45
AFTER TASTING THOUGHTS: I didn't order this and would not recommend it to anyone. Portion is really small and it is literally boiled egg noodles with stir-fried vegetables. You can easily obtain ingredients from your local supermarket and make your own- for half the price.


Seafood PancakePan-fried mixed seafood pancake served with garlic & sesame soy sauce RRP £5.45
AFTER TASTING THOUGHTS: This is not the best I have had. If you are a fan of Pajeon, go ASSA instead. (Or any other Korean restaurants really)


(Left) Chilli Squid- Deep-fried squid seasoned with sea salt and chilli, served with a spicy garlic & chilli dipping sauce RRP £5.45
(Right) JapChae- Glass noodles (dangmyeon) pan fried with vegetables seasoned seasame and soy sauce RRP £ 4.95
AFTER TASTING THOUGHTS: Again, the quality of these starters were mediocre compared to all the other restanrants I have tried. They are eatable, but I have definitely had better. Having said that, if you like to enjoy a beer, these side dishes comes in very small portions that will compliment your drink quite well.
