"Korean bar and grill Gogi sits on the canal in London’s Little Venice. The restaurant has the industrial-chic look of the year it opened: 2013. That means black leather banquettes, exposed red brick, and a strong window-to-wall ratio. The silver hoods looming over each table aren’t merely aesthetic, though. They are part of an elaborate extraction system that runs throughout the dining room keeping things cool. For the tabletop Korean barbecue, there are beef and seafood platters ideal for sharing. Solo diners, vegetarians and scorched rice lovers need not be put out, though. With the hotplate directly to hand, Gogi’s dolsot bibimbap promises a good nurungji. There’s a fair choice of toppings, ranging from kimchi or tofu to raw beef." - Hester van Hensbergen
