"Gathering a few friends for Korean BBQ is always a good idea, because little truly says ‘friendship’ like trusting each other with several rounds of hard liquor and an open fire. To that end, Koba does the best one in central London. Compared to the average barbecue spot, the higher prices are justified by the fact that you’ll eat food that’s better, and in a space that’s been kitted out with futuristic induction fans so you don’t go home smelling of smoke. The seafood BBQ is excellent, and don’t miss the pajeon pancake and the spicy beef stew." - jake missing, david paw
