Jihwaja - Review - Vauxhall - London - The Infatuation
"If done correctly, Jihwaja can be dinner, a show, and something not to tell your grandkids about all at once. The late-night Korean canteen in Vauxhall is a non-descript, satisfying restaurant if you’re just coming for the food—but few people do that. Here, it’s about the karaoke too. photo credit: Jihwaja photo credit: Jihwaja photo credit: Jihwaja Pause Unmute Forget the basic dining room and book a private booth instead. You’ll be led down glowing pink corridors, soundtracked by people murdering Springsteen, Eminem, and BTS from multiple directions. In a semi-soundproofed room, you’ll eat dinner before your set. Keep it simple from the enormous menu and stick to the classics. The generous sharing plates of yangneom chicken are glistening and have an excellent crunching fry, and the kimchi jeon is good too. Once your food is cleared, the lights are dimmed, the disco lights swirl, and Jihwaja's extensive (but highly baffling) music library is your oyster. Let the soju flow and carefully read the instructions for finding a song. Actually, probably not in that order." - Jake Missing
