Myung Ga Korean Restaurant

"If you’re into smelling like a BBQ and eating some excellently chewy tteokbokki, Myung Ga in Soho should be on your radar. Coming in a group is a must, to demolish some ramyun and work your way through their meaty set menus. Friendly staff are undoubtedly part of the reason why it’s almost always packed out. Meats are placed, flipped, and served for you, so you can focus on that long-awaited catch-up instead of overcooking the beef. Some classics like pajeon could be better, but overall a meal here will make you happy. Get some of their halal gganpoonggi, a set BBQ meal, and whatever you do, order that tteokbokki.

"This bustling KBBQ spot doubles up as a safety blanket when you’re overwhelmed by Carnaby Street and coming here in a group is a must. Whether that’s to demolish some ramyun or work your way through Myung Ga’s meaty set menus is up to you. If you’re doing it right, none of the wooden table will be visible because it’ll be covered in plates of sizzling bibimbap, spicy japche, and refreshing banchan. " - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

"Tteokbokki with extra ramyun “There’s something objectively more exciting about things that are cooked in front of you. It’s what started the carbonara cheese wheel craze a couple of years ago, and the reason I’ll whip my phone out in panic anytime a server begins pouring sauce on something. Whatever the reason, it made the already-excellent tteokbokki at Myung Ga, a Korean restaurant in Soho, that little bit more exciting. The rice cakes were thrown in a pot on a tabletop grill, along with ramyun noodles and a watery spicy sauce. After 15 minutes it turned into a creamy, bubbling, fish cake and vegetable-filled pot of ramen. It was spicy, sweet, and garlicky, and while it was enough to feed three, I’d happily return and eat the whole thing alone.”- RS" - Jake Oliver, Rianne Shlebak, Sinead Cranna

"If you’re into smelling like a BBQ and eating some excellently chewy tteokbokki, then Myung Ga in Soho should be on your radar. The bustling Korean spot doubles up as a safety blanket when you’re overwhelmed by Carnaby Street and coming here in a group is a must. Whether that’s to demolish some ramyun or work your way through their meaty set menus is up to you. Barbecue grills are built into each table so you’ll feel the warmth as soon as you step in. Friendly staff, who will repeatedly warn you to wait 15 minutes before even thinking about touching the tempting ramyun that’s bubbling away in front of you, are undoubtedly part of the reason why it’s almost always packed out. Meats are placed, flipped, and served for you, so you can focus on that long-awaited catch up instead of overcooking the beef. Taking a seat in this casual dining room means momentarily forgetting what a clock is and committing to at least one uninterrupted hour of eating more than you were planning to. If you’re doing it right, none of the wooden table will be visible because it’ll be covered in plates of sizzling bibimbap, spicy japche, and refreshing banchan. Plenty of places in Soho do KBBQ, but one of our favourite things about this corner spot is the rest of the menu. Things like a sweet and sour deep-fried prawn tangsuyuk or the crimson-red gganpoongi. Whatever you do, order the tteokbokki.  " - Rianne Shlebak
