"At Assa, know that you’ll have to wait at least 20 minutes for a table, no matter the day of the week. But the queue at the low-key Soho spot moves quickly and the excellent Korean food is worth it. Inside, hot pots get the respect they deserve at the centre of most tables, couples are given a table for four because they’ve knowingly over-ordered, and everywhere people are dipping pajeon in soy sauce, throwing fried chicken into their mouths, and splashing themselves or someone on their table with gochujang. Assa sounds chaotic but in reality, orders come out quickly and staff are attentive." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, jake missing, daisy meager
