Taeyang Pocha Korean BBQ SOJU Restaurant

The Best Scorched Rice Dishes in London Restaurants | Eater London

"The best things on the menu at New Cross gem Paranhodu involve a lot of sizzle. The pan-fried dumplings, kimchi or seafood pancake, and the sticky, sweet Korean fried chicken are all worth trying. Then there’s the dolsot bibimbap, which arrives crackling away in its hot stone pot. Douse with gochuchang sauce, muddle, and wait. Patience will be rewarded with a satisfying singe by the end of the meal — not just on the rice, but on the fine curls of carrot, courgette, and bean sprouts too. This relaxed restaurant is great for those with varied dietary requirements — most items on the menu have vegan or vegetarian options. It’s small, so book ahead to avoid disappointment. Lunchtime will be quieter and cheaper. Paranhodu is closed Sundays and for lunch on Monday." - Hester van Hensbergen
