"Korean spots are notorious for meat-heavy BBQ, but this Shoreditch restaurant is completely plant-based. The pajeon is pleasingly stuffed and crispy, the tteobokki delightfully chewy and saucy, and the jjigae richly flavoured. And the maternal, welcoming owner might slip you a tub of sticky beans with the bill because you said you liked them. Know that the canteen-ish space is six-stools-small, so get takeout during the lunch rush hour or snag an early spot for an unhurried dinner." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager, sinead cranna
