"Kimchimama does a kimchi jjigae that’ll sort out your sinuses—we know, because it once cured our cold. The Korean spot is tucked down a pretty street in Pimlico, but it’s not somewhere you come for a long, lingering lunch. Orders are tapped into a self-service screen and moments later you hear your choices shouted around the kitchen and the ferocious sizzling—still audible over the loud pop music—begins. The spicy jjigae broth with strips of fatty pork and silky blocks of tofu is our go-to." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
