Bibimbap Soho

This one came recommended by someone. What a lovely place to be, I went with my friend for dinner. I had the kimchi pancake and prawns, both amazing! He had beef he really enjoyed. Fast service, nice music, kind staff. 🫶🏼

My sibling and I had attended this restaurant as a pre-theatre dinner. Visited on 26th August, just after 6PM.

This is located on Greek Street. On the same stretch, you’ll find a plethora of other Asian restaurants; i.e. Japanese BBQ, etc. There are also a few drinking spots too. If you fancy a few drinks : cocktails. Then a dance off 🙃

There was a small queue, which took around 15/20 mins to them get seated. The manager / host, was courteous enough to inform of the rough estimate to get seated.

There is seating upstairs and downstairs. You’ll find booths, located at the back on the top floor.

The toilet is very small / cramp. Big Broad people may find this a little challenging

So what was ordered.

Side Dishes: Korean Fried Chicken (10 pieces) came with Special Soy Sauce; this I found quite sweet and almost remising of an Apple Sauce, like a purée. The other was Kimchi Mayo, which I found to the better of the sauces. I found the batter to lack the seasoning and coating compare to other Korean establishments that I’d once visited.

Pan-Fried Kimchi Pancake - not enough Kimchi and made eggy taste.

Mains:

Chilli Chicken Bibimap with extra toppings Fried Egg (+£1.50) on Brown Rice (+£1)

Spicy Pork Bibimap with extra topping Fried Egg (+£1.50) - the pork requires more marination for the taste to come through.

These come with chilli & miso condiment squeezy bottles.

In all honesty, neither of these Bibimbaps were that enjoyable. As per other Google review, there’s a severe lack of protein and more cabbage, vegetable. The level of spiciness is more tailored for the western pallet. There was hardly any heat level, when compared to other traditional Korean restaurants. I suppose if you want to get the level of protein you should be getting, it’s optional for an extra £4.50

The only highlight for myself, was the Kloud Korean Beer. It’s a white beer, smooth and nice hops. Had 3 of them.

The service was exceptional and friendly. Hence the high score ✌️🙃👍

There is Parking but it’s very limited and difficult. I wouldn’t advise leaving your car parked there on a weekend. If you have people who can be very inebriated.

Had exited Tottenham Court Road and was a 7/9 minutes walk from the underground station. It’s also just a 3 minute walk to the Phoenix Theatre.

Bibimbap was great visually and also in texture. I’ve had better spicy rick cakes, however. It was not worth the price.

So glad we came across this gem in Soho. The number of reviews and ratings this place has really shows how well they are doing. The food was amazing, all served together and everything was fresh. We would recommend the kimchi pancakes, seafood soup and their most traditional dish! Highly recommended

Definitely give this place a try if you’re looking for speedy service and filling food at a good price!

They have meat options, vegetarian and vegan options. Everyone is welcome!
The staff are super nice and the service is very quick. I was surprised at how soon our food came out after ordering.

Furthermore, the Korean beer is delicious and came in super cute glasses. I would also recommend the Korean fried chicken which was delicious and the kimchi mayo which the waitress suggested.

We will be back for sure!

Authentic Korean cuisine served at Bibimbap with utmost care.
The Bibimbap, Korean Fried Chicken, Prawn Katsu and Seafood Noodles were all lit up with the Gochujang Sauce.
Perfectly nestled in Soho, a must visit.

Best bibimbap in London! Always a reliable yummy meal. The pork and kimchi soup, kimchi pancake and any of the bibimbap choices are excellent. Friendly and kind staff. The root tea is also yummy. Reasonable price for soho and great location for shopping or theatre afterwards. You can walk right in reservation not needed.
